Didn't need straps on 240kg, just chalk.that's a good effort, well done! Same I use chalk, also do use straps on some exercises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use farmers walks etc to increase grip strength. Even assistance work (say 5x10 at 120 for deads) is great for grip strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried for a single at 220kg but failed. Next time gadget! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes going to the gym more enjoyable. Just a shame it hurts so much to walk for a few days after doing legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
