Thanks man, just got my first pair and was a little confused - your tip about the strap following the thumb was super helpful.

I have the same pair of the harbinger straps and they are absolutely awesome! Had to remove the padding because for whatever reason it pinched my skin really bad but after removing the pad they have become my favorite straps to use

[@ShreddedDad]

Yeah they're great. They'll last you a while

[@JoseMataLedezma]

Thank you so much, I'm new to straps, so good explained

[@ShreddedDad]

You’re welcome

[@tallikimanimusic7127]

Thanks this helped so much man! I was able to hold onto the 75 pound dubells for rdls and did sjith ajmchine shrugs with 2 plates something I could never hold in my hands wihtout them. Then I even tried them out on the seated row and i could move 170 pounds no problem I tried it wouth the straps I couldn't even move it more than a rep without it falling out of my hands

[@ShreddedDad]

Awesome. They really do help

[@kayjay6000]

[@jacquelinev5771]

Excellent explanation, thanks a lot! Doing RDL I just use 34kg but my arms from the wrist to my elbow gets too tense and causes pain also in my hand. IDK if since the beginning I didn't work a correct technique to lift heavier each time. I bought them but now I am not sure if it is ok use them with too little weight, thanks

[@ShreddedDad]

Use them when your grip gives out. If you’re using little weight and your grip is good, don’t use them

[@id79minm]

Thank you Shredded Dad Garage Gym

Can I use these for dumbbells ?

Yes you can

[@jamesroberts5875]

Appreciate it. So many people confuse me in my gym 💪❤️

[@ShreddedDad]

You're welcome!

[@jessebroney8517]

Hey do you know why they pinch my skin? Like I lose Circulation in my wrists when I use them am I tying them too tight?

[@BrassPeace]

I never even thought of using that for lots of reps. Sounds like an excellent idea.

[@ShreddedDad]

Once your grip starts to fatigue, the straps help you to pump out a few more reps

[@BrassPeace]

@@ShreddedDad oh ok... makes sense. Thanks!

[@lilj7771]

im ready to move on to bench higher weights than my last pr but everytime i lift the bar i feel the veins on my wrists hurt like they are tearing or something this should help thx

[@ShreddedDad]

Lifting Straps are for pulling movements. If your wrists hurt then a wrist strap is what you need. Those wrap around your wrists to provide support

[@hmmodi9052]

Is it normal for my grip to he weak now that i deadlift 100kg ( 225lbs ) or did my grip fail too soon?

[@ShreddedDad]

Usually the heavier you lift, the stronger your grips gets. But with heavier weight, your grip will fail faster too. That’s where the straps come in. They take out the weak link (grip fatigue) so you can focus on the lift.

[@kasturimule9318]

[@alessio0510]

heyy, great video! i have a question though : should I buy padded or regular lifting straps? thanks :)

[@ShreddedDad]

The ones I show in the video have pads on them. They’re more comfortable because you’re gonna have weight pulling down the top of your wrist

[@b2617]

Thanks

[@ShreddedDad]

[@x333Dariex333]

I just got mine, cause I got very weak hands and my deadlifts are too heavy already 40 kg fine but 50 has my hands hurting 😢

[@ShreddedDad]

That should help to keep you lifting heavier than your hands can handle

[@uhhh99]

Why shouldn't you use them with "not so heavy" weighs?

[@ShreddedDad]

If your grip can handle the weight without interfering the exercise, then you don’t need them

[@luismisanmartin98]

​@@ShreddedDad the fact that you don't need them doesn't explain why you *shouldn't* use them. Can you be more specific? For example, if I'm doing pull ups with the aim of strengthening my back, why should I put any focus at all in the grip (even if I can handle the weight) if it can be taken care of by the straps?

[@flying5145]

Fumbling this whilst actively at the gym

[@ShreddedDad]

Did you figure it out?

[@flying5145]

@@ShreddedDad kind of. The pull down bar had rubber, so couldn't get it tightened enough . Now taken off I notice the difference in the grip and forearm pain. Should it feel tight on the wrist? I got an imprint of the material on my wrist.

[@ShreddedDad]

@@flying5145 yeah it should be tight

[@flying5145]

@@ShreddedDad BTW I appreciate you actually helping me out. You sir have earned a new subscriber! Will get a better try tomorrow when doing should shrugs

[@ShreddedDad]

@@flying5145 make sure you wrap it around good and then do a “throttling” motion to make it even tighter

[@carlosg2677]

I used them today but having to grip the strap gives the bar girth which makes it harder. (The thicker the grip, the harder) idk if I was using them wrong

[@ShreddedDad]

They’re supposed to make grip less of a factor so you can focus on the lift rather than your grip strength. Make sure you wrap them around tightly.

[@chad4698]

Same they dont help me either

[@imranafroon5932]

[@adtjtjdjsj]

​@@ShreddedDad Thanks for the video! Have to use lifting straps since all of the pull-up bars at my gym are incredible thick so I can't grip them very well

@@adtjtjdjsj you’re welcome

I used them but it made no difference. You need more grip strength to hold them in place 😅
