Nope. Those are my armor-plated forearms.

I really like them.

I bought these Elite FTS

Training your grip is important, and this is a good target reached a point where you catch than back and shoulders

Actually, it's an Android smartphone holder. Juggernaut thinks Apple is for bitches.

That other post was just plain fucking goofy.

Did Juggernaut write the product description for the straps?

"No padding. Padding is for wimps who don't like to get strong. Wrap these around a bar for maximum holding strength. "

Thats just awesome.

Used a pair for the first time the other day. SLDL SUCK. I cant walk for shit right now. Mine were the cheap budget straps from one of those POS sports stores.

EliteFTS friggin rocks for everything. Quite possibly one of the best all-around sites on the internet.

Sports Authority has them long straps. I wish that was what I bought. What I have is a "regular" strap, this is not enough. The longer strap is about $20.

If my <190lbs skinny ass can hold onto over 400lbs for 10-12 reps without straps then he has no excuse. I'm sure i've seen him strapping up for 240lbs BOR for 10 reps. I personally know people around my weight who can do that, and heavier, without straps.

Shit, Brian Dobson - the guy who owns Metroflex and has trained Branch - even did 610lbs for a single without straps, i believe. Strong dude.

There's literally no excuse. Its a small insignificant thing, people will do whatever they want, but i don't see why anybody would rely on support equipment when they don't have to. Its a weak link that could be easily avoided with about a month or two of grip training and you'd never have to use them again.

Any links to grip training?
