    x2 on the harbingers, I used a pair like those for years. I don't use them often but when I need straps those do the job. I also use chalk.

    DJ is right. It'll keep it from slipping. However, if your grip is just too weak regardless of the chalk, then look at alternative methods like straps. During rows, my grip simply gives out too soon with anything over 275, so at that point, I get out the straps.
    All advice given is for entertainment value only. And it's free. Take it for what it's worth.

    I use hooks. I prefer hooks than straps.

    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.

    Yeah I don't wear them for every lift but for some lifts they come in handy. These don't have movement like I found with other wraps causing irritation on the wrists either.

    I have been using these Iron Mind straps (Strong-Enough Lifting Straps for strongman, WSM - IronMind-ironmind) for years now with great success. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to pull heavy weight. In the past I would use cheaply made straps and they would rip during my sets of heavy pulls. 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.
