Lifting Straps

[jmdfd415]

Who all here uses lifting straps and what lifts do you use them on? I am thinking about buying some, but just wanting to see if alot of people use them.

I use wrist straps for heavy deads (405 & up), I use knee wraps for heavy squats (315 & up) and I use wrist wraps for db/bb bench and a few other exercises. I also use a belt for heavy deads and squats. All my wraps/straps are APT. They make great products.

Nice to meet other APT users!

I use straps for deads, heavy db rows, heavy bb rows, and heavy t-bar rows. I use knee wraps forheavy squats (315 and up) heavy hacks, and heavy leg press. I use wrist wraps for db/bb presses and heavy mil/db presses, heavy skull crushers, and heavy db extensions.

All of my wraps and straps are APT of course!

Yeah, they make great wraps/straps. I'm not to fond of the belt though. I got the 4in one. It really digs into my ribs when I do deep squats. It's really stiff. I use the belt Cutler promotes I forget the name though.

I use the Inzer lever belt and love it except for leg presses, so I don't use one then.

Thanks for the replys guys! I got a question though. I use gloves currently, can I use straps with them?

[strester]

just like everyone else, APT

lift straps for heavy deads, heavy db rows, and pullups if my forearms are burned out

i use both before and have seen a few others do it .... but I'm not a fan of using gloves anymore, so I'd get rid of 'em unless you're a hand model (just my opinion)

Haha! No im not a hand model so I guess I could go without them.

Yep they work just fine with gloves.

Thanks! I use gloves that have wrist wraps so does that matter?

[SonnyTheBull]

I don't wear gloves either. I feel a better grip without them. Another APT product I recommend is the stingray for front squats.

Don't think so, I haven't used gloves in a long time and never tried the ones with the wrist wraps built in.

I will be ordering some apt straps so I will try them out and if they dont work well together I will drop the gloves.
