The pros and cons of lifting straps

3/7/2018

0 Comments

 
Training or lifting straps are one of the few pieces of equipment that I recommend people getting.

Pros
  • They allow you to hold on to a heavy weight for longer periods of time.
  • Reduce forearm fatigue / discomfort.
  • They allow you to train the bigger muscle groups you are trying to target harder.
Cons
  • Really, there is one. They can prevent your grip strength improving.

Should you get some?
In balance, yes, most people would benefit from them. Just be sure not to neglect your grip strength as you still want to get your forearms stronger, so you don't need to rely on the straps.

Feel free to watch this tutorial youtube video on how to use straps, give them ago and let me know what you think!
