And as far as safety goes, wraps allow you to pull heavy as your want with a over and over grip vs the over under or also known as the reverse grip which causes bicep tears in guys deadlifting. Trust me I had a small distal tear about 2 years ago and I have never pulled raw reverse grip since, and now I realize how lucky I was it wasn’t a full tear.

Straps are a must... Sooo much more comfortable...even with lighter weight... enables you to concentrate more on the muscle you're working rather than your grip strength trying to hold on to the bar.... personally on Dead's if you're not using straps I think it's just a show-off dropping the weight on the ground so everyone can hear lol...which i dont do...i hold it through the whole set slow up slow down...course i dont go more then 405 these days...and usually no more then 315...but im always strapped its a must

Not a killer lift at my body weight but I feel its respectable starting point. Any suggestions on program's to work as "power building" type of protocol?
Using dumbbells for deadlifting and shrugs help build my hand strength and grip. After a while your strength can out grow your hand grip and you need to switch to straps. Cheap ole straps work!
