Whats your veiws on this?

Do you recomend using them from the begging? When your grip starts to give before the muscles? When you reach a platu?

Just intrested to what ppl think ?

I never use a belt.
But for straps i use them on heaviest shrugs and lat pulldown as Sarcev does.

I use both when i am doing back routine

i have problems with lower back do prefer to play safe

straps are ok i can have a better grip and i sweat like hell from my hands so it helps me a lot

Belt, all the time.

Straps, anything that involves grip. Usually back and shoulder days.

only use straps when I shrug heavy, or Deadlift. I cant grab & hold 200KG + on my own.

Also only use belt if I am going very heavy on DL
