You should reformat this video into a youtube short, they’re the best way to grow your channel in this day and age

I hate Shorts, don't do it.

Mitch one of the best that came in to the worlds of strength and knowledge change my mind

[@bertcloutier8718]

Great info thanks Moose

[@LOLKFC1980]

Genuinely a night and day difference. Thank you so much!

[@anand201997]

Tried this and definitely hit my PR today thanks Mitch

[@gennaropileggi4419]

Awesome tip, Mitch! I will definitely try it

[@cromdevotee449]

I remember seeing Rauno Heinla say that you should only wrap 1 time, not twice. Makes sense for deadlift ladders and I find that my grip actually slips less with just 1 wrap around than two. But doing it the way you showed in the video is definitely the strongest if you have time.

[@M1keDaly]

I'm training back tonight, I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the tip. *Edit* Actually made a bit of a difference. Thanks again for the Tip Mitch.

[@lukebbuff]

This is one I’ve always wondered about

[@MadDogValentino]

Trying this for sure!

[@hornsteinhof7592]

Good advice, thanks 👍

[@bigt1013]

After trying this until I eventually got it, it’s actually insane. Feels like you’re not even gripping the bar. Unfortunately it puts a lot of pressure on your wrists if it’s too tight but it’s a night and day difference vs the regular way.

[@seanc77339]

Great tip.

[@Michael20089]

Thanks man

[@MrNice__420]

Damn.. I didn’t even know you could use the straps that way.. 🤙 awesome work at Arnold’s 🏆

[@jlalonde1000]

Ok how do you do this with one hand already strap in

[@Crewtis]

Lol you gotta master it. Though this comment was a year ago hope you made out alright

[@Slavagfunk3]

Exactly

[@davidcottrell1308]

cool idea!

Thank you good sir I sat down in the gym practicing and watching. I think I got it, Finally.

[@mitchellhooperstrongman]

No problem dude!

[@Botched135]

This was so great tip. My straps have been slipping constantly. Not anymore!

[@TL13579]

WHAT. THE. PHAACK. Why is this the first time I'm hearing of this? Seems the most secure.

[@eamh2002]

I never put my wraps free end between the thumb and index side, when the end comes from behind my thumbs first knuckle and runs on the same direction as my middle finger the strap doesnt kink. I basically put them on the way Mitch puts them on but dont cross sides like he did, I didnt think of doing that :) And I've been up to 220kg on rack pull, never close to slipping with cheap leather straps.

[@user-ff9lg9lw3u]

how to wrap with one hand in strongman way ?

[@JCMir98]

Asking the real question here

[@cammackk]

Best advice is practice and keep it slack as possible while wrapping so you can still move you hand, then when it's crossed over crank it like a motorcycle handle to get it secure

[@apeekintime]

Yes, that tip works. The reason you aren't supposed to do it is the whole reason it works so well - it's harder to release the weight. Yeah, it mostly comes straight away once you release your grip but it can hold long enough to pull you off balance.

[@andrewgilbertson5356]

Thank you…

[@anthonyproffitt5341]

I’ve never used straps, but the crossover way is the way that makes most sense if you want the most secure. 👍🏽

[@SLouiss]

Congrats on winning

[@zeeunveil1324]

So I’ve been doing it right then but the thing is that the other hand takes a bit of work to get the wrapping with only one hand

[@rampage222555]

I think this way only really makes sense for strongman weight. I can only deadlift up to 405, the regular way is not gonna slip at that weight so long as you twist the bar to tighten the straps. I imagine it's the same for another few hundred pounds.

[@koushiksunar3477]

💪💪💪💪💪

[@igorbakovic5451]

How do you do this with one hand when your first hand is already tied?

[@Nidarru]

Okay, I see how this can help. However, how do I wrap my second hand like this, without assist of other one?

[@joshuapinkerton5295]

I like figure eights now but i guess in comps that dont allow them.

[@spiritfingers98]

That's how I've always wrapped and wondered why so few people do it. Now do one on what spotter bars are for. See too many people nearly killing themselves because they're more concerned with getting their squat on tiktok than self preservation.

[@emiltjstheim6021]

how am i supoosed to do that with 1 hand

[@bonniebryan6216]

[@mastodon24]

I’ve been using 24” pieces of old ratchet straps. Works just fine

[@pimptoking]

Thank you for keeping it short! :)

[@satyris410]

How do you put the second one on?

[@RDS_Armwrestling]

Practice

[@markbailey7369]

Tried this on deadlifts tonight and could not for the life of me get the wrap right. Got it right on dumbbell rows though. Think I'm gonna get figure 8 straps for deadlift.

[@isihernandez9752]

Ok, and how you do that with your second hand once the first one is already strapped and can't help...? 🤔

[@RDS_Armwrestling]

Practice

[@swarmy9459]

Gon try this with 600

[@AnonYmous-yu6hv]

So you put them in the opposite way and to the heel of the hand, but you didnt show how you put the other hand for dead lift

[@seanrice1222]

Thanks sweet pea

[@olympicgo]

Never wrap twice in olympic weightlifting 😅

[@ericcarpenter2550]

I mean tbf I don’t think I’ll be lifting 500 kilos anytime soon 😂

[@RustyIsScared]

Just get figure 8s

Thanks. I'm going to try 500 kilos now. Jk

Moose poops...

[@dedunx]

Before people use straps they better learn how to use machines and weights... 99 percent of the people in the gym have litterly no idea what they are doing!

[@andrewgordon777]

The technique I use is to hold the straps in my hands, open the rubbish bin, drop the straps in and then lift the bar with bare hands because I have iron hookgrip... GRAAHHRRRR 💪🏻😎😁
