FYI: i use straps for straight bar deads.

my forearms and grip get enough work from the other strongman stuff i do (farmers). the risk/benefit ratio of injuring my bicep w/ a mixed grip just isn't worth it. I honestly think straps get a bad wrap, and PLers are the ones who shouldn't use them. I try to hook grip as heavy as i can, but twisting my body like that.. meh.
