Lol if you like them then fair enough, I personally just think it takes away from the lift. I was just kidding with you saying they're for pussies lol

been using the dang things for so long that i guess it's just part of my "routine"...maybe i'll stop??

so if your grip is so strong then whats the reason for the straps?

i do lots of forearm curls and i have a 250 gripmaster that i use when i'm in my car...plus of have a finger strength device that i use several times a week (helps me with my guitar playing).

ya but what about your forearms and grip strength!
