Ya, I knew you would...my forearms used to be sore for days after using them...not so much anymore unless I really do a lot of reps with them...

I have stopped using straps for about two weeks. Just chalk. Previously, I wouldn't think about going above 225 without using them... but I think it was more of a crutch. After listening to an episode of Iron Radio, I decided to ditch the straps. So far, it hasn't been a limiting factor. This, combined with Fat Grips, are building my grip strength and forearm size.
