How to use lifting straps correctly

    Loop the strap around the bar, then around your wrist, so the tail is trapped under your grip. Pull the slack out before you brace. VALGRIND lifting straps are the $9.99 pair, shipped cash on delivery in Lebanon.

    Common mistakes

    Wrapping too loose lets the bar spin inside the strap. Wrapping so tight that you cannot release is a figure-8 problem, not a lasso problem. Reset the wrap any time the set ends.

    Straps are for pulls where the back is ready and the hand is not. Keep some strapless sets so your grip still gets work.
