What is /fit/s opinion on lifting straps?
I for example have a heavy Forearm Injury on my left Hand which makes it unable or really hard for me to grab Barbells with a weight of 80kg or more without it being extremely painful (for me).
>Tfw can't do underhand rows 80kg anymore
>Tfw can barely do Stiff Deadlifts at 100kg
>asking for fits approval to use lifting straps because you cant deadlift or row otherwise
Goddamn dude if it fucking helps just use them, train grip when you feel better

like wtf OP
it's better to train with straps than to not train at all...

I'd also like to add I don't oppose of straps either. But not all the time.
Use straps when your grip can't take it and it's limiting your progressions. That's all. You can train grip separately anyway.
I use them to do front squats, I had pain in my hand from a football game and by using them I can comfortably let my hand sit on the bar while I squat

waiting for grip to catch up instead of progressing in weights is the most retarded thing

SS and some auxiliaries
Went from
S:40kg/D:45kg/B:35kg
to
S:75kg/D:80kg/B:60kg
Was 67kg, now am 75kg 188cm

Atleast your squat and deadlift is more than your bench lol
>>35413370
Well they really arent one rep max. I can do 5X5 of each. Probably could one rep past 95kg dead and 90squat. Bench maybe 70kg
>>35413308
It would be extremely paneful

theyre great anon, my coach has us use them for diddlys and (hang) snatches. sure ur limiting your grip, but if you just do some kind of heavy pulling your grip will be fine
