Best Wrist Straps for Deadlifting? 

Nice tip about not wrapping the thumb with straps! Might have mentioned (although it is obvious) that straps require a double overhand grip. I have seen some really unusual attempts to do otherwise :)

My God those Eleiko plates 😍😍

Good chat, brother!

The rules for WSM and I think the giants deadlift require you to have the thumbs covering the bar. WSM 20 or 21 had it mentioned in the behind the scenes video. Same in static monsters

Any chance y'all can make a video on grip training? Love the content guys 🤙🏻

The most important tip that I've ever heard about straps straps is this: if you're going to use straps, make sure they match your purse.

I seen the range of motion tip on one of the train your ass offs. I don't strap but good stuff anyway Sam

I have spud inc straps, they are bombproof but so solid that they are impractical. The material is so thick that after training the sweat dries on them and they set so stiff they will cut you up. Soft but strong straps are the way to go. They don’t need to be that thick. The good thing about the spud straps is that they genuinely are unbreakable, to break them in I spent 10 minutes beating the fuck out of them with a rubber mallet, and 8 years into deadlifting (and rack pulls all the time at the beginning) they have very minimal wear. They have a 400kg frame deadlift, 150 farmers, 565kg 2 inch rack pull, and 200kg+ deadlifts almost every week for years under their hood.

I prefer figure 8 straps I actually have some custom-made ones that work amazing the only other style strap I really use is a versa grip kind of strap but anything really heavy or any reps over a nickel I use my figure eights for when I don’t wanna have to worry about grip at all And personally I think powerlifting as far as the Deadlift goes every Federation is beyond stupid they’re costing athletes pounds on the platform and I know there are people out there that say you have to train and strengthen every muscle group which is 100% entirely true but I’m sorry unless you’re Superman or the hulk your grip is never going to be as strong as your back quads hamstrings etc. So why force athletes to not perform their best for example it’s OK for them to wear wrist wraps knee wraps squat suit deadlift suit bench shirt And everybody is OK with that but it’s ridiculous how many people hate on a person deadlifting with straps that is all have a nice day☺️

Thanks for this, but there are a few other types of lifting straps you missed?

Tips for getting the strap tight around the bar? The knurling on my bar doesnt allow me to twist it tight, it kind of just locks in place. When I try to wrap around the smooth first and slide it over, same story when it hits the knurl, it doesnt really budge... and any attempt of me kinda forcing it more or less loosens the strap.

I first used straps when I started doing higher rep sets, and I felt like my grip was going to limit me, or at least be a distraction towards the end of the set.

I like thumbless grip i do it on the machines rowing etc and i find that my lats work better that way and deadlifting with that grip too i dont know if its a weakness issue or my body just works better like that

versa grips

I use figure 8 straps if I'm using straps at all because I'm probably trying to rest my grip or my forearms are messed up.

Question. If you have no desire to do a powerlifting meet, does using wraps when you deadlift stimulate less muscle? Thanks

Double overhand and can’t hook grip due to small hands, love figure 8 straps for heavy lifts

Podrian poner sub titulos ¡¡¡ por favor

homie called it a "sport"

You sounded more Russian comrade commissar than Italian.

Sam hates the metric system, but doesnt understand inches

That was pretty useless
