Always same grip deadlift: bad?

[Ironlife]

Last point I'll make here to all you twenty-something "nobody should need straps" nonsense: do you think you'll be singing the same tune when you are 60, have arthritis in your hands, but still are strong enough to deadlift 400+ lbs.? Snap out of your own little world, boys.

Probably right, in all probability i very well may change my tune about straps as i get older but not now vox i feel pretty strong at the moment and i feel i can do without the straps, maybe if i had them now i would use them to wipe the cut on my shins from deadlifting.

ALso with that post i have always been curious as to your age? At first i thought mid to late 20s then now i think about 33-35?

Damn guys really! its 9:30 and its already begun! give me time to get to work!

Also chaz what happens when your on the bus and some bird asks you to open a ''tight window'' and if you dont have that strength then you cant say wait i need my straps. Im coming from a real functional strength point of view here.

Another day another obstacle i wont be able to perform because i use straps... couches, logs, and bus windows.... the natural enemy to the strapped gym goer!

I agree with Iron. I personally felt I had to use straps when my grip was the same, however, I feel straps really arent worth it... But that's just me.

ur wrong... but thats just me.

It appears 95% of people here train/deadlift so they can move a couch,a car,open a window etc..
I have no idea how and where training for aesthetics fits on this site.
Anyways,strong correlation of 95% in this case with 95% mentioned many times before.
Well whadayaknow..

you forgot the giant log...





im going to invent some sort of all-in-one glove/strap/belt concocsion (i know that spelling is butchered to hell)

If a thread makes it past the first page, that is all it will ever devolve into.

Especially if the OP doesn't actively attempt to keep it on track.

The better the question/post the slower it disintegrates.
