Take a video of you benching 300 with decent form or shut the fuck up.

I just ordered a pair of lifting straps... I was originally of the opinion that if you were going to lift the weight you should be able to grasp and hold it. But lately I'm experiencing pain during and post workout in my finger joints. Because as I progress, I'm finding it easier to move the weight and more difficult to hold on to it through multiple reps. There's not much research that indicates using these straps is a bad thing and I usually see the biggest guys at the gym using them. So I figured I'd give them a try.

Thoughts or fuck off.

I would never use straps, but I also don't have finger-joint pain. What would you use straps on? The only exercises I can see one holding onto relatively heavy weights are deadlifts, db rows, shrugs, and lunges. I only do deadlifts but I think if you need straps to hold onto a DL you shouldn't be doing them.

I would use them specifically for rows and shrugs.

How much do you squat, Geoff? I'd imagine it's got to be at least 1000lbs. I'd be surprised if you weren't able to break the world record providing there was no way to verify it.

Gramps, you should get rid of the straps and just use chalk. If you've got a relatively decent grip you should be able to hold about 500lb on the bar in your hands quite comfortably with chalk.

I don't really know anyone who lifts heavy and doesn't use either powdered or liquid chalk. I'm very unsurprised that you wouldn't find it useful, given that it doesn't really add to made up numbers and lies about having home gyms.

Steroids just come in a bottle. You don't have to mix them up. You're confusing performance enhancing drugs with bakery.

Well not that it matters if you aren't interesting in competing or doing things that are real, but you can't use straps in competition (and chalk is also very useful for keeping the bar on you in a low bar squat). Plus, resetting each rep with straps is basically impossible. I'd imagine you'd have to deadlift completely differently if attached to the bar.

I don't use straps... I don't see the need to go that heavy on deads... Also I try not to obsess over exercise to the point of wanting to compete or whatever gay ass extreme morons like to take it to... Like sys0p taking steroids to keep up and fill that void that insecurity has created in him...

Yet he still can't bench 300... :olo: ...

You don't bench. You just posted a picture in the other thread when you thought it proved something. Strange how you can't prove your bullshit bench numbers. always the way with you. You'll post a picture of anything you can prove, and with everything else, you'll just repeat yourself until the other person gets bored.
