Lots of people here seem to dislike straps, but I'll go ahead and suggest them. It isn't like your grip doesn't get a workout while using them - you still have to hold a decent portion of the weight, the strap just transfers some of the weight directly to your wrists. Even training with straps, my grip strength has improved (I'm able to go strapless at lower weights pretty easily when I try it or forget my grips). Just use them for the heaviest sets and go strapless for your warmups.

Here's the pair I own. I just can't stand the idea that my deadlift workout is not optimized simply because my grip is giving out first. I never want to miss out on doing a compound lift because of a single point failing, if I can avoid it (this is the same reason you wouldn't hit your triceps hard before benching).

Yup, I use shitty <$10 ones for 600lb shrugs with no issues.

I've been using these Valeo for 2.5 years no problems. They are a bit narrower than some other straps, but I haven't tried wide straps to be able to comment whether that's a negative.

WRT the accessories/prehab yeah a video would be interesting. But I think scientifically it would be more interesting to find whether there's a 'minimum effective dosage' that everyone can incorporate.

Last edit, promise. I own and use both of these items. They are inexpensive and get the job done.
