Before i switched to those I was using these Spuds

no matter how I grip the bar, my grip will always give out before my back muscles do. I use a thick canvas type of strap

I find these to be head and shoulders above any of the wrist straps that are just one piece.
I don't use straps, but if I did, these look nice.Quote:

I have yet to have these show signs of ripping.
I just use my hands and occasionally chalk. I am curious to give straps a try one day.
Just be careful, use them when needed and not as a crutch. Too many people use them and rely on them for way to many things.Quote:

They are the softest straps you will find IMO...
They can snap in half though because they are super thin, but these are my preference

those look awesome.
