LIFTING STRAPS! BeSt LooKiNG I have EVER seen, by far the STRONGEST and...MUST READ!!

[Metal Gear]

I've got the ones by Herbinger that have paded wrists straps on them. They are the shit. The regular straps cut into your wrist when doing 7 plates on each side, not to mention I have ripped those fuckers a few times.

Thnx Mike

Yo thanks bro. I really don't have a need for extreme grip strength you know ? That's why I enjoy using Straps, I can get my muscles strong w/out rippin my hands apart. I like to go as heavy as possible before I whip the straps out, but you hit a certain point where your grip is not strong enough. Yo bro I need to come and up n chill again, I'll bring some hott blondies over again... hahaah.. . BTW to everyone tryin to help me out to find pants that fit I found some dope ass baggy cut dress pants that fit is bodybuilders nicely. Small waist and flared out legs. Just thought you'd all like to know that ! HAHAAH !!! METaL gear what are your best lifts ? Weight wise, not exercise wise. Mike I wonder who is the strongest MO FO on this site....? I talk to you later bro.

I bench 495 lbs for 1 rep 455 for 3. Squat's a little weak 495 for 1 rep, 455 lbs. for 5 reps, leg press I can stack it all the way on the machine, I don't know over 11 plates each side. Military press 405 lbs for 2 reps, 365 lbs for 6-8 reps. Don't do dead lifts because of my lower back is jacked up from a while back. How about you?

damn bro, 7 plates on each side! that is sick! The most i usually do is 5 plates on each side, but I HAVE to use straps, my grip just wont allow it. My dead isnt that good I can do like 500 for 2, but I can back squat 500 for 4 reps. Im 245 lbs 6'2" 19 yrs old

Guys, this has been a good thread and thanks b/c I'll be purchasing a pair, but does anyone have any reccomendations on what pair to get? I'm planning on going with a cotton pair, not sure which one yet. Might try the Pro's for free since all there is is S&H.

From another view for you all, I am a collegiate athlete and I use straps for deads and 1 arm bent over dumbbell rows. When training for strength/power like I do, with all of the heavy cleans and forearm work, etc. straps will help us concentrate on what we are trying to isolate. Helps a bunch. Take care.

Yo

Nice weights yur pushin around Metal Gear. Strong fucking shoulders, I thought I had some strong shoulders, I use the 120's for 6, full reps. I bench 450 for 1, Deadlift 570 for 5 and squat 560 for 5. I am 5 ft 9 and 270 lbs. Also to the bro who liked the straps, I am happy you found something bro. I have the Polypropelene straps and they are as strong as SHIT !! You're a collegiate athlete too, cool. Even if you get the poly straps u can still get a cotton piece added for comfort so the ypoly dont rip thru yur arm. They are all pretty much good though. Good numbers DZULJAS !! Not bad for a 6 ft 2 GIANT !! haha ttyL bros

Straps are fine to use for a few sets here and there as long as the person doesnt rely on them. Occasionally using them on a few extra heavy sets is ok

Unfortunately I see many gym members relying on them way too much like on lat pulldowns GIMME A BREAK! straps for lats lol
