I appreciated the advice about not waiting until the bar feels like its slipping from your grip to strap up. I have always used this as my indicator for when to wear straps. I will be changing that in the future. I mostly use straps for farmers walks these days, and I usually use the figure 8 type on a trap bar for these.

I’ve used all the above except figure 8s. These days for RDLs I start warmups with Overhand, go to Hook as the weight goes up, then to Versa Grips. Pulling from the floor I do warmups the same way, but on a heavy set I do a few reps OH, a few HG, a couple OH, a couple HG, etc (takes less than a second to switch grip). This really extends my grip endurance. Then I go to Versa Grips. I do like to progress reps and weight on both the unstrapped and strapped parts of the series. I use a 28mm raw stainless WL bar with a great knurl, this really helps. Also, training hookgrip deadlift makes me really confident of my hookgrip at the lesser weight of cleans and snatches. Versa Grips are handy for weighted pull-ups, too. That’s originally why I got them.

I use hook grip when not using straps (depends on how I'm feeling, but usually up until my last warmup set). I use Versa Gripps for my working sets. They're a lot easier for me to get in place than regular straps. I don't compete in any strength sports, so I'm not all that concerned about training my grip while doing deadlifts.

Honestly, why limit your heaviest lifts and building your largest muscle groups by worrying about training one of your smallest? I use straps once my grip is fried and no longer reliable to lift the weight I need to. And I do actual grip training exercises to train my grip. It's that simple. Stop training grip on deads. I don't want to hesitate or try to shift and adjust my grip mid-set while handling 300+ lbs and tweak something in my back. Watched tons of "tough guys" do this and it's just dumb. If straps make you more stable and reliable when pulling, use them.

This video gave short-shrift to Versa-Grips. I love mine. Versa-Grips are quick to apply to the bar, work extremely well assisting with lat pull-downs, and greatly reduce callouses on your palms. They also can be cinched down to act as wrist support straps. Alas, Alan Thrall says he disfavors VersaGrips, but does not say why. Another thing: Rippetoe says cotton lifting straps are junk, and to use seatbelt material.
