This may seem a bit dumb, but im training for a meet in november, and i retested my maxes today for deadlifts, raw and with a belt and straps, now since i will be competing raw, should i be using my raw max? Or should i strap up, and do some grip lifts for asisstance work?

Check with the federation rules on what they consider approved raw equipment. Just train with whatever they have listed.

So if they class straps as raw, then train in the gym with straps? If they dont, then dont use them?Originally Posted by Ironborne

I've never heard of straps being used in a RAW event, but then again I only did 2 comps.

Just for the record.........Straps are not allowed in any federation for any reasons what so ever.

Compete in strongman if you want to deadlift with straps. Good luck at your meet OP, have a lot of fun!

OP train with or without straps, as long as you can hold your max deadlift+20lbs with chalk only your good.

I guess its time to start training again.

Belt is raw in every division except raw raw raw or whatever
Straps aren't allowed but they aren't considered an equipped lift,

Why are you training with straps in the first place? For one, you should know ahead of time what your federation allows. Not to be a dick, but your deadlift probably isn't that high that it surpasses your grip strength with chalk. Why use straps when you could use a belt? Whats going on? lol
