Julie: Interesting thought on the straps. I've been using them on deadlifts and have noticed my elbows popping sometimes. No pain -- yet -- just noticing it. I wonder... I warm up at 135# w/o them but lift around 185# with them. I'm going to have to think about this. I always kind of feel like Spongebob when he stretched his arms out trying to lift weights (dh also likes to make me laugh when I'm lifting "with the addition of two, count them two marshmallows" -- referring to the 2 1/2# plates!)
