Why Workout Straps Are Not the Answer!
I came across workout straps in the late eighty's and began using them to help my grip with the ever-increasing weight I was then lifting. Having been involved in fitness and weightlifting for the last 25 years, I have seen all sorts of weightlifting accessories. I had great success, putting on tons of muscle and lifting the weight the giant fellows were pumping out.
Around the mid ninety's, I hit an expansion plateau and employed a trainer, a certified professional body-builder, to appraise my workouts and help me grow. The 1st proposal I received from him was "get rid of the workout straps". The look on my face pushed further reason from him. His speculation was that if I was lifting an amount of weight that I couldn't grasp without help I was putting my joints and muscles in danger. "Never lift more weight than you can control", I was told time after time again. It seems that the muscles in the forearm grow best when the hand is grasping the weight as hard as it can. He pointed out the reverse curls I was doing for forearms were being rendered ineffective by the employment of workout straps since I wasn't being forced to grip the bar with all my might.
I quit using the workout straps and as if by magic my shoulder and joint pain subsided. And my forearms got thicker as if on steroids (which they were never). Not only did my forearms grow to Popeye dimensions but my fingers and hands became thicker and stronger. I eventually accomplished the forearms that every Oliveoil admired and just by stopping my use of workout straps.
I once more became happy with my expansion and lack of constant joint agony but was faced with a totally new problem. The calluses were distressing and ugly and gave me something to pick at when I was bored but I actually was concerned not to have them. I attempted weight lifting gloves, and they solved the slippery bar problem but I found them too constrictive, tricky to get on and off and they were constantly soaked with sweat.

Then I discovered Gorilla-Grips. These amazing small leather pads, held in place by elasticized finger loops, covered and protected just the palm of my hand in the area where calluses tended to form. Gorilla-Grips helped me grip the bars, much as workout straps would, and gave me the protection of a glove without the awkward constriction. Gorilla-Grips did the trick!
