For athletes doing the Olympic Lifts or Crossfit exercises, lifting straps are used on heavy pulls, hang snatches, or snatches, and especially on volume days. It takes practice to get the hang of using weightlifting straps, but it is worth the effort. Weightlifting straps can dramatically improve your grip, which will allow you to focus your weightlifting on the larger muscle groups and perform more volume.
