Why? Because virtually no one is doing exercises like rows, pull-ups, deadlifts, shrugs, dumbbell lunges/split squats, etc. I on the other hand think these people are morons and highly recommend using straps whenever needed (assuming it’s in line with your goals). Therefore, straps should be avoided by everyone 100% of the time. They claim they’re nothing more than a crutch you’re relying on to make up for a weak grip and that using them prevents your grip strength from ever improving. There are some people who feel that straps are a bad thing. The question is, are Versa Gripps any better or worse than regular weight lifting straps? Let’s find out… Wait… Straps?!? I Thought They Were A Bad Thing?Īlright, let’s get this part out of the way first. It’s basically another form of the same training tool.

They exist for the same purpose (to improve your grip on the bar) and they’re used the same way (one end goes around your wrist, the other end is wrapped around the bar). Versa Gripps ARE straps… just a slightly different version of them compared to the traditional type most of us already know and use. If you’ve never used them before, they work extremely well. You loop one end around your wrist and wrap the other end around the barbell, dumbbells, handles, etc., thus basically attaching the weight to your wrists/hands.ĭoing so improves your grip on the weight you’re holding and helps prevent it from sliding out of your hands during your set. I’ve probably used traditional weight lifting straps for around 10 years or so.
