Red5 Tribe, Lifting straps can be a game-changer for handling those heavy weight sets where grip strength might otherwise hold you back. Personally, I think theyâre great for allowing you to focus on the lift itself rather than worrying about grip failure. However, I also believe itâs important to use them strategically and not rely on them all the timeâworking on your grip strength is still crucial. You can train your forearms specifically with exercises like farmers walk or wrist curls! Do you use lifting straps regularly or just for specific lifts? Red 5
