If you use straps, rows and pullups are easier because you don't have to worry about grip. I can easily barbell row 225lbs with straps, but can only go up to 185lbs without them.Late logging,

I use lifting straps for lifting, specially when lifting 50 and more for some workouts, my grip is terrible otherwise, but these Ab straps are new, they are for hanging core workouts and make hanging leg raise and leg lifts so much easier to do!
@luluinca I wish I could use a trainer too, but too lazy to go to the gym to have a trainer! maybe when it's nicer outside I also get to the gym and use a trainer too, just seems the progress is so much faster, when you have a good trainer!
I haven't done my workout yet, but planning to do a tapout XT2 workout later, can't wait!0 -

I'm assuming these are the ones you clip on and then hang with your elbows at a 90 degree?
