Ego also has Harbinger straps for cheaper,Rm23 for normal and Rm36 for padded,prices might be a little off.

no more, last i check they told me they dont bring in that stock anymore

i bought the padded one , 36 also, its a good buy

Yup,my friend got those too,but I don't get the hang of deadlifting with straps,seems easier for me with normal grip albeit having to use lower poundage.

ah, sounds like a good deal.

i'll go check it out later today, thx for the info

No problem,I'll recommend padded!

i cant go after 130kg without strap.

Time to strengthen ur grips bro.

I bought my straps last time, and i hit 130kg max, without i can only hit ard 120kg, AND tat plateau stay for months, and aft tat i read it from strong lift, i try to strenthen my grip and now i can go 135kg XD (best record was 3 reps) without straps. Coz i can feel tat sometime when i use straps, i tends to depend on the straps too much and forsake the purpose of deadlift thou. =D

Max I tried is 160 for 2 reps and that was without straps.

Gonna try harder tomorrow morning!

Straps vs gloves? It seems easier wearing gloves.

Oh yes, my harbinger glove letup aft 6months. Now using bare hand, more economic.

glove for deadlift is not really a good choice coz its lesser grip and also it slips off easier.
use normal bare hands but u cant pull as much
use straps but again, u depend too much on it, grip less

got a pair of harbinger straps from ego, the paded ones

cant wait to try em out tomorrow, im guessing its gonna get some getting used to since i never used straps before this.

never enjoyed using any gloves... i have a harbinger glove sitting around, but i guess bare hands are the best, you feel the grip well enough and yeah it doesnt slip off easily... as for the pain of your hands when pulling too much.... just keep your callous and yo hands wont scream for pain when you lift more

Callouses are there,just that a point is reached where the grip just loosens by itself and your fingers open!

ah, that.... im about to reach that stage... wish me luck lol

Gotta build that grip strength!

I used to wear straps for lifting my heaviest weights, be it for deadlifts or using dumbbells. Now not so, partly because I'm lazy to take them out and I'm sort of developing this mentality of it's too heavy, it don't get lifted.

I don't understand people that don't use straps. If you're competing in powerlifting, and your deadlift cannot go any higher because of your grip strength, then TRAIN the friggin grip strength separately.

If your deadlift isn't going up because your upper back is weak, but because of numerous repetitions, your grip loosens out (duh), then use the strap!

Straps are an integral part in anybody's routine. If there are a few things I would never be caught without, it'd be my straps, my tights, my knee sleeves and wraps and weightlifting shoes. Belts are for people who can lift really heavy and I can't, so I've no business using them.

People dont want to use straps because they think its not hardcore.typical mentality

+1

got this kinda ppl @ my gym...show off...
