Straps

[Tblock1]

I use straps when in comps. Ironmind makes the best ones IMO. Go to any strongman event, and that is all you will see.

When I need a belt I use a Rehband belt. If things start getting really heavy (over the 700 lb mark depending on the event) I put an Inzer PR Belt over the top of the Rehband belt.

I have the cheap ironmind "strong enough" ones and they are much better quality than most other straps I've seen

i use hooks, much better then straps IMO

I use them as well as straps for deads in the 600plus range.

I use straps (actually hooks), for cable lat pulldowns, rows, and if I did deadlifts anymore (bad back, so I don't). Mine are good ones; about $50 if I recall. They're the best I've found, and they can be used as regular straps, or just hooks, or both. They're "Haulin Hooks". Not sure if they still make them, and I don't want to post a link since the forum has certain rules about links, and I can't remember on that kind of link. I also got the nonslip rubber sleeves for the hooks, which help a LOT. Otherwise, the hooks can slide sideways, and that can lead to a really painful situation of a fold of your hand skin between the hook and the plate; OUCH!

Google "Haulin Hooks"
