*** Edit - I just went and looked at some of your Youtube vids. Awesome! But dang man, you need to start laying your camera 90 degrees counterclockwise! I got a kink in my neck now.

I've noticed that a lot of people in the north of England are quite strong, Davey Boy Smith etc. Do you ever feel tempted to use straps for deadlifts?

hey adam, mmm i do have straps, but ive got quite small hands, and for some reason more mental than anything i feel like i cant grasp the bar as well with the straps, somtimes i use them for higher reps, like 15 plus, so my forearms dont burn out, but on the lower reps i hold on tight :)
