Why straps are indispensable in strength training

Some people see straps as 'cheating', but let's clear up that misunderstanding. Weightlifting straps help your grip, but they don't lift the weight for you. You still do all the work. Just without your hands getting tired before your muscles do. Furthermore, it applies:

- More grip = more power
- Less strain on your forearms 
- Better control over the rod
- Safer lifting 

Do you want even more support? Combine your straps with wristbands for extra stability during heavy lifts.

"Straps for fitness are not used for every exercise, but for certain lifts, they make a world of difference. A few examples are:"

Deadlifts: The ultimate moment where straps elevate your strength to a higher level. Your grip is no longer the limiting factor, allowing you to train heavier and with more volume.
Barbell rows: Straps help you isolate your back muscles better without your forearms getting tired sooner.
Pull-ups & chin-ups: Do you struggle to maintain your grip? Straps can help with weighted pull-ups or long sets.
Shrugs: For massive stairs, you want to go heavy. Without your grip giving up halfway.
Romanian deadlifts: Focus on your hamstrings and glutes without your hands getting tired first.

Is the skin on your hands completely coming off after a few heavy lifts? Then also consider weightlifting tape to prevent blisters and tears.
