Lifting straps

[MarkFJ40]

Where can I buy lifting straps?
I broke one last week

[J.M.]

bodybuilding.com but I'd make a significant order to offset shipping costs. Other than that have you tried GNC, popeyes, etc.?

[MarkFJ40]

I did stop at GNC but the 300lbs girl working there didn't know

I bought some a sport check. They work just fine, but I feel like a bitch when I use them. Gotta get that grip strength up.

I agree here

Buy some chalk and workout in a gym that allows it.

And this.

Your broken strap is a message from the Gods, OP. IMO, the best way to lift is without the assistance of belts and wraps. Chalk and preworkout and you're good to go.

I find that my grip is the limiting factor when I'm doing higher rep dumbbell weighted exercises (lunges, step ups, etc) Does chalk make that big of a difference?

There are two weak parts to grip - strength and slippage.

Chalk will fix the slippage. The strength is up to you.

+1 with the comments above. I'd give chalk a try.

I like to use straps every now and then when I'm feeling lazy, or if my hands are tired. Otherwise, I can grip, and lift heavier with just chalk.

Yep..functional strength > mass.

You can toss in some heavy carries to up your grip strength. Farmer walks are a great way to increase your grip strength. That and they're an awesome full body exercise as well.

Depending on your goals, there are lots of people that just want to be big and don't care so much about strength.
