bodybuilding.com but I'd make a significant order to offset shipping costs. Other than that have you tried GNC, popeyes, etc.?
I did stop at GNC but the 300lbs girl working there didn't know

Try Sportschek. They have a couple different ones listed online.

Hook grip
Straps are for pussies lol
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.

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?Originally posted by zipdoa

There are two weak parts to grip - strength and slippage.Originally posted by BrknFngrs

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.

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.Originally posted by Hallowed_point

Thanks for the 14 years of LOLs. Govern yourselves accordingly and avoid uppercut reactions!
