I’ll check them out. Now that I think about it I may have seen people on social media using them. I just hate having to crank the straps down, I don’t ever get it right so one is tighter than the other and feels strange on my wrists, not to mention the thickness of the straps makes it harder for me to hold the bar.

Maybe I’ll lose another 20-30lbs before I buy one. The one with the best reviews and highest stars on amazon said weight limit was 250, lol. I think I’m a littttle too close to the limit to risk it. I envision it snapping shut on me

I just ordered a Shefit. I got a size too big on accident but I still loved the fit and I’m a 36H. VS has the front close ones (the incredible I think?) I loved that one when I was a 34DDD. It has cups that clip together with overlaying fabric zip up. Super comfy.

I am a conventional puller, but I train both conventional and sumo. However, I pull conventional on back day and sumo on leg day. Sumo deadlifts are one of my accessories to squats and I believe it has truly helped my squat.
