Will let others who have them chime in..
They are a proclaimed better alternative to straps.. Have really good reviews.
Google it.. it's worth a google.BTK. A different breed entirely.

I am now staying in Cincinnati about an hour away from the expo. Staying with Marc Lobliner. I will be training with him at 5 a.m in the mornings at Powerstation in Cincy. He is 11 weeks out right now so he will be in prep. so he has me there to give him an aid/eye during the time we are there. I kept an eye on him and roomed with him for his last show when he did the Beverly about 2 years ago.
google.com Versa Gripps. takes you right to the main site.
best straps ever.
Versa Gripps Pro are the BOMB

been using verssa grips for over a month now, i was using straps for 2 years. i never used straps before and in early 90's i was pulling over 400 lbs in deadlifts with no straps, but using an alternating grip. well, sometimes i'd use sponges, but that was every now and then. I get no slip and no strain on the wrist, I use them for back, shrugs and dead lifting, plus hanging leg raises. I got the large camo ones.

Gotta agree with The Solution on this one. You don't have this following just by being another guy. And its more than just a group of "sheeple" that populate that comments/threads of some of these gurus. Guys in here are hardworking, humble, and helpful without being condescending. I don't recall any question from anyone here about anything going unanswered. All of that is because you set the tone. I've been following these threads for years now and I can't tell you how often I've drawn motivation, not to mention what I've learned from the the people in this group. So much of the motivation here translates beyond just weight training it often turns into life training. Basically keep doing what you're doing.

I cant preach it enough
Manu is a role model and inspiration to alot, not just us BTK members but many on these boards that look up to him and his work ethic/efficiently he has with his workouts and where he has progressed over the years. Just another thing we can look at to take our intensity/work ethic to another level. Goes to show you sky is the limit, dont place holds on yourself and dont sell yourself short. always strive to improve.
Well , if you actually ate to your potential it would increase.. Just sayin'

Zing!
i was around 2000 at end of my show, now around 3400-3500 and 175 pounds at my best shape. we all vary, but most people short change theirself, then when they go to cut, they have nothing to drop but their kcals to deadly low levels and start metabolic damage/shutdown.

I agree on the calories thing. After doing a really long cut through end of 2011 and most of 2012 my metabolism was shot. However I have repaired it now and Im eating 4000 at maintenance these days as opposed to trying to cut at below 2000 like an idiot. I read a bit about the g-flux concept and it seemed quite interesting although im not sure how exact or accurate it is.

How was the groove cruise big dog?
Another question about vacationing to anyone who wants to chime in. I got my diet figured out. i am just going to be flexible as recommended but what about training? I am about due for a deload anyway so could I just take the week off and just do light cardio then come back from vaca recharged and kill it again as usual?BTK. A different breed entirely.

btw bob got my versagripps. Unfortunately they came with some stitching messed up and made one unusable. They are saying it will be 20+ days until they can replace them. Sucks, was really looking forward to using them.
I am sure they will be at the Arnold. Am going to see if I can just take them and exchange them there.BTK. A different breed entirely.

Are Versa Grips the real deal? I was thinking about buying a pair from amazon. What size do ectos usually get?
