straps

what do you think about deadlifting with straps and gloves do you consider using them cheating and what kind of ramifications would using them have. Like would it weaken my forearms or anything like that. Just trying separate the bro science from the truth

Weight lifting/ power lifting straps, Im looking into getting my self hooked up with some, (i will be adding in extra grip work to compensate the strap usage) who here uses straps? and what brands do you recommend? thanks all.
