GET A GRIP!!!

If you are like me you will have felt at some point that your back workouts are suffering due to a weakened grip.  For many years lifting straps have been used to increase grip and therefor increase your muscle building potential.  If your grip goes before your back has reached failure you are not working at your full potential!!!  Just remember that straps are there for you when you need them only! Don't become reliant on them or your grip will never improve and you may risk injury and an injured wrist will set your training back.  At the start of your workout try to avoid straps, only when you feel your grip is failing first should you employ them.  Straps will also help when performing hanging leg raises as your grip may weaken before your abs do.  There are also various hooks on the market but I would recommend straps.  Try www.monstersupplements.com for a great variety.  But you can get some perfectly good maximuscle ones at argos.
