I don't get the logic behind "wrist straps are bad". You wouldn't be able to lift nearly as much weight without a barbell, either. Should we do away with barbells and just lift plates? Wrist straps don't keep you from gaining stength in your grip. You don't let the bar just hand from them. You still grip the bar.
I agree with you on this one.

I used to use straps when I was 18 & 20yrs old but by 21 I stopped using them even for shrugs.

Plus I was beginning to find that when going really heavy on barbell rows or shrugs (275+lbs) my inner elbow was really feeling strained as when you'd the weight up, you're tepmted to just let the weight drop & hang while being supported by the straps which puts strain on the inner elbows & biceps.
