I know a lot of fitness personalities say to use cuffs for cable exercises, lateral raises among them. I don't have any problem doing lateral raises with a D-handle, but obviously, I want to progress and grow my side delts as much as possible. Would the $10-15 investment in a pair of cuffs like these actually return any improved performance?
>>77429394Girls use them to work out they booty
>>77429394Yeah they help you look like a faggot
>>77429394yeah just keep removing the passive grip aspects of everything you do at the gym and then make a thread asking why your forearms are small. Buy the product stupid
>>77429394Is grip strength and wrist stability really what's stopping your lat raises from progressing? Fucking really?Not once have I felt like my shoulders had more to give but my forearms were just too gassed out.Even if your forearms are the weak link for you, just lift like normal until they get stronger.Seems like this is just some pointless bullshit influencers have jumped on because 1. It's a new trend, and novelty is essential for them to present the image of themselves as the font of special wisdom, and 2. It's a product they can shill via affiliate links.
>>77429394Cuffs by themselves will slide down near the end of the movement when the angle between the cable and your wrist is no longer perpendicular. Handles are good if you know how to diy a strap or cuff backing to go with itLook up Andreoni focus straps
>>77429397>>77429420>>77429434Why is this board so genuinely retarded? Every thread is like this. Just the dumbest people you can imagine. >>77429575It feels better, is that so difficult to understand? >>77429589Holy shit what the FUCK. If you tighten the cuffs well enough they won't slide at all.
>>77429980>I'd spend $10 to stop training my grip but never $25
>>77429980newsflash, you are the one that is retarded.
>>77429394No the only improvement is from shorter lever arm making the weight easier to lift so you add more weight thinking you're stronger while the effective load on your muscle is exactly the same.
>>77429980This anon is correct. Straps are fine and i prefer them myself. They are cheap just try them or don't idgaf
>>77429394you can just get a mini band wrap around wrist and pull arms apart. easiest most effective way to do lateral raise by far
>>77429980It doesn’t matter you braindead faggot. The literal physics dictate that the cable will be near parallel to your arm at the end of the motion. Kill yourself.
>>77429394Lateral raises are one of the dumbest and most useless exercises to do. Shoulder isolation, really? That's retarded. You're using your shoulders all the fucking time.Swimming pumps them up more than weights ever did. My triceps are rock hard and I feel like I have a turtle shell on my back.
>>77432213Unironically kys.
>>77429980>Why is this board so genuinely retarded?The 4chan you grew up on is dead. It's infested by jews and other brown people that don't even lift. There's nothing left to gain here except shitpost while waiting for the next time to lift
>>77429980>supports bypassing a bottleneck in the kinetic chain>calls other people retardedUh... Anon...
>>77429394Tiktok workout for faggot zoomers
The rabid responses to every post that isn't supportive of this tells me that this is a shill thread. I will not not buy your product, Bryant Fitness.
>>77434021thisfirst hes asking questions probably expecting interest but then OP gets super mad and emotional when people tell it like it isthats a shill thread if ive ever seen inenot buying your shitty product
You have to respect the effort to come up with more and more useless and counterproductive products that are gimmicky enough to shill to retards."Finally, the solution you've been looking for to avoid having to use the perfectly adequate handles abundantly available in every gym on earth! I mean... they kind of suck and slide around unless you strap them really tight but err... expects agree there's not that much bloodflow needed through the wrists... and yeah, they put all the weight on a random bit of your forearm nobody has ever wanted to load with weight... and your hands just... make fists I guess?... Buy now!They've been scraping the barrel for a while.
I feel really bad for all the "men" here who think that their cute little 10 pound cable lateral raise is going to fix their grip strength. I always forget that every last one of you larpers is 2 months into your dyel journey
>>77435661congrats on your third month
>>77432213I don't even know if this is far off enough since you don't lift
>>77435670I would still doubt any advice coming from someome less than 2 years into lifting at all
>>77435661It's done for little effect mostly since it is difficult to get anything from laterals
>>77429394I see dyels using these lately.I guess some tiktok nigger told them they would "unlock gains" or how ever you faggots talk.How fucking weak is your grip that you need these for your 15lbs cable flieslmao faggots
>>77435470I've been saying to over and over here that the only way to become an "influencer" is to literally make up some new bullshit gimmick that's different from everyone else.Nobody will watch a video saying you need to lift heavy weights and eat right.They slap together some "program" and throw in some oddball exercises and zoomer retards just look at what their phone says and repeat it set for set with no understanding of basic bodybuilding.And that's why everyone is dyel.
>>77435661you can't even handle that though you need a shitty product to grip the weight for you you utter bitch
>>77435687>Nobody will watch a videogoodthat shit is for faggots
>>77429980>tehe should i buy them?>also i already know they feel better and have intimate knowledge about how tightening them effects sliding!You really should just buy an ad, you're laughably terrible at this.
>>77435690There is nothing that my 35 pound cable lateral raise is for my grip strength. 35 pounds is hard in a lateral raise and nothing for my grip. I think if I were you and had trouble carrying around 10 pounds, then I guess I could see needing the handle to train my patheticly weak grip strength I wish you the best on week 4 of lifting
>>77435710but then in what world would you be gullible enough to buy a product which solely removes the need to grip something you can easily and much more conveniently just hold with your fingers and let go of after the set? Do you just stay clipped the cable machine for the entire duration like a fucking retard lmao? you sure showed me!
>>77435710>35 pounds is hard in a lateral raiselmao these are the people giving lifting advice on 4jeet.
>>77435710>4 weeks is 2 months
>>77429397fpbp
>>77429420ha ha... gottem
>>77435731>> 4th week>almost into 2nd monthYoure welcome anon
>>77435718Its about being more comfortable. I find it more comfortable than a handle. How is it this complicated for you faggots? Do you put nails in your shoes before you squat too?
>>77435730On a cable stack i bet he pulls it at an angle so it is easier because 35 is insane to be actually doing
>>77435761sure, wouldn't want to ruin your manicure would you, god forbid you break a nail! you would be fuh-reaking ou-outtt~!
>>77435761answer the question: do you stay clipped to the cable machine for the duration of all your sets like a restrained mongoloid?
>>77435772I just use it because I like the sensation of being in bondage, if that's what you're asking
>>77435792lmao>Frequently Bought Together:>(in a parallel universe where anyone actually buys this ill thought out horseshit)
>>77435757>>almostKeep bowling for that soup
>>77435761>more comfortable to pull with some velcro desperately trying to slide up your wrist than just holding itA single purchase of this item would be an eternal stain of shame on mankind
>>77429394It's worth it but not for the reason you thinkUnilateral cable pull-overs with them will work WONDERS for your lats
>>77436532Interesting. What is the benefit to using these over just using a handle?
>>77432271we already solved fitnessthis board is for shitposting in between lifting days /r/naturalbodybuilding is the only place where real lifting discussion still occurs
>>77429394>Do wrist cuffs actually make a difference for lateral raises?I added a 5th day to my weekly routine for machines and exercises I never do otherwise, and I have a cuff I've been using for laterals. I generally do lateral raises on my forearm/triceps/chest day using 25lbs dumbbells with a bench to support my chest as I lean forward, but using the cables I drop the weight to 22 lbs and step away from the machine to keep the weight continuously under tension and control the eccentic as much as I can. Of course, the whole reason I have cuffs at all is not for laterals, but because you can set the cable chest height and while stepping away from the machine for max tension do what is easily one of the best rear delt isolation exercises.Anyone who talks shit about these weakening your grip probably doesn't even do farmer carries with their own bodyweight.
>>77437212No ones saying that they weaken your grip, it's that anyone who is still clinically capable of gripping has absolutely no reason whatsoever to tape the cable to their wrist when they can enjoy the privilege of just holding it and letting go of it it whenever they want. This thing clearly limits that and is by its nature awkward at an angle that isn't perpendicular to the arm, a problem which doesn't exist with handles. The thing limiting an able bodied person's cable exercises is very unlikely to be their grip so why would they want to bypass that?I can see them being useful if you're missing your hand or can't grip properly but those are the only people would would likely want or need such a thing, unless you can clarify the feature I've overlooked which makes them actually do anything of value and not be wholly detrimental.
The shills have yet to explain one single benefit of them, just throwing around insults and insisting they work>WONDERSI'll tell you who worked wonders. The lord God when he designed us all perfectly good hands to lift fucking weights with like men. Tell me ONE benefit to these straps over handles right now. You can't.
Bryant, was reliantStrapped up like a dominatrix clientHe tried to shill his shit but /fit/ said "we shan't"Now he's mad that we're all non-compliantOhhhh Bryaaaaannt!Thankyou, thankyou.
