I've used straps the last 2 weeks and it's taken a LOT of pressure off my elbows and even shoulders and i've been able to move more weight for more reps and really get some more activation in my back muscles.

I'm doing extra grip work to make sure i don't lose grip strength but I feel like i'm getting a lot out of this switch to using straps. And to be clear, i'm using them for pulling back work, not for my deadlifts.
