Arthritis!!! My right hand is developing arthritis after powelifting since 1989, collegiate football and rugby, firefighting since 1995. Lots of wear and tear on the poor body. I need to stay in the weightlifting game as my longevity in my career depends upon strength. I have used lasso style straps for years. But the figure 8 straps look interesting for ease of deployment. What do you guys say? Another set of lasso straps or a figure 8 type?
