i use my straps when i deadlift 315lbs or more usually on my last and, depending on the day, my second last sets. my hands also get pretty sweaty and i lose grip so the straps help A LOT. i only use the straps for my last sets though because i want to improve my grip and use my forearms and whatnot.

I use my wrist straps for bicep and shoulder exercises when it comes to the arms. I don't pull them tight, just wrap them around once. 95 percent of the time I am working till failure with heavy weight and my hands cant handle the grip on the metal bars at that weight. It really digs in and causes unnecessary pain. I should just use gloves but I don't want to buy any. If you go to fitness 2000 then I could be that idiot!
