Straps, and anyone who says dont use straps on deadlifts is ignoring the fact that deads are not a forearm exercise, they are a back exercise.

Sometimes i hate having big calouses, like if i go for an interview for a job or am shaking a broads hand, but most of the time i dont mind.

Do you guys use straps for chinups? I have a hard time getting it around the bars.
 
Straps......I only wish I discovered them earlier
and for the calouses........I only hate them for ONE reason.......but lotion takes care of that

don't do chinups at the moment. i find straps hard to get around whatever my right hand is lifting (i'm left handed)
 
Strapps just like everyone else. Ever heard of hook strapps? I got some through bodybuilding.com about four months ago and wont lift without 'em.

I just bought a pair of these but haven't received them yet. Do they provide a good grip?
 
Got mine from bodybuilding.com for 13.98 a pair. Here's the link, http://bodybuilding.com/store/hook.html
Their site was down this morning so if that link dowsn't work just do a search. They are called The Hooker Straps and are made by RD Millenium.

To those who use them, will they work with an over/under grip?

Both.

My hands will bleed without gloves and my grip is not nearly strong enough to go without straps.

:eek: Thats awful. Well atleast you wont get nasty calousus(sp)
 
Hooker straps are good, if you have big hands. If you only have small hands like myself, they're a complete waste of time. I recently discovered straps and they're amazing. At first they hurt my wrists like hell, but they've worn in now.
