A question that I'm often asked by my followers is about lifting straps to re-enforce your grip when lifting weights.
 
- How do you use them?
- What exercises should use them for?
- When should you use them?
- etc...

Now I'm going to be upfront and say that I personally believe in building up your grip strength naturally without the aid of lifting straps "most" of the time.

A big mistake that I see folks doing is getting hooked on lifting straps too soon and over using them to the point where their grip strength gets weaker.

However, there is a time and a place for using lifting straps, and that's what we're going to discuss in this blog post...
