Do you use straps/hooks ?

[pbear99]

straps are good to use when using heavier weight, but if you use them all the time you will become dependant on them, if not physically, mentally. i ALWAYS have to use straps now when i do power cleans or hang cleans. i try not to use them for anything else but find myself using them sometimes on rows, deadlifts, or my heavy sets of bent over rdl's as well.

Never...Never...Never....of course that is why I have 17 1/2 " forearms.....

i use them on the heavier sets on dumbell rows, barbell rows and deadlifts

I only use them for deadlifts because I do deads for my back, not my wrists or forearms. I can't stress my back enough without them because my grip sucks. I only use them when going heavy though. For the first two lighter sets I do not use them.

Grip sucks cause you use straps.....something can't heal or grow...if you keep a band-aid on it

I like to use straps because,the hooks of that damn bra,and that underwire sux. OOHH you mean for lifting,still straps.

ok, I'm the only mofo in here to use them on my pull downs. Whatever, I'm looking to isolate, if I feel like working my forearms, I'll do so.
