pounds. This is what I thought:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of these guys at the gym what they try to do with heavy dumbbells is that they try to overhead press it, or they tried to shoulder press it, or they try to incline press it, or they try to do flat dumbbell press with it, or some sort of lying down or seated or elevated exercise with it. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the simple funny thing is this; it is much easier and more efficient and in terms of leverage, more straightforward to simply pick it up, and carry it, in terms of moving the weight. Because, my thought:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t the point to simply be able to use the most efficient and effective mechanism of movement, an action, to simply manipulate and move a weight? <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, I could pick up 150 pound dumbbell, lift it off the rack, hold it in my hand, grip it, and also walk with it, whereas I cannot lie on my back, and do a <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2023\/02\/08\/120-pound-floor-dumbbell-press-eric-kim-unorthodox-lifts-hypelifting\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"471839\">floor dumbbell press<\/a> with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the point?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-jetpack-videopress jetpack-videopress-player\" style=\"\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"jetpack-videopress-player__wrapper\"> <iframe title=\"VideoPress Video Player\" aria-label='VideoPress Video Player' width='500' height='281' src='https:\/\/videopress.com\/embed\/C6eQeFCa?cover=1&amp;autoPlay=1&amp;controls=1&amp;loop=1&amp;muted=1&amp;persistVolume=0&amp;playsinline=0&amp;preloadContent=metadata&amp;useAverageColor=1&amp;hd=0' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen data-resize-to-parent=\"true\" allow='clipboard-write'><\/iframe><script src='https:\/\/v0.wordpress.com\/js\/next\/videopress-iframe.js?m=1674852142'><\/script><\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, people might think,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00e2\u20ac\u0153What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the point of doing this?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lot of people say it is good for a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153grip strength training\u00e2\u20ac\u0153, but that doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really mean anything. Nobody really cares for \u00e2\u20ac\u0153grip strength\u00e2\u20ac\u0153, look at all of these guys call instead of using chalk, simply use the hand wrist straps when weight lifting, whether it be doing rock pools, deadlifts, shrugs, rows, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is there any problem to using wraps?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-jetpack-videopress jetpack-videopress-player\" style=\"\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"jetpack-videopress-player__wrapper\"> <iframe title=\"VideoPress Video Player\" aria-label='VideoPress Video Player' width='500' height='281' src='https:\/\/videopress.com\/embed\/jUHbIuxk?cover=1&amp;autoPlay=1&amp;controls=1&amp;loop=1&amp;muted=1&amp;persistVolume=0&amp;playsinline=0&amp;preloadContent=metadata&amp;useAverageColor=1&amp;hd=0' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen data-resize-to-parent=\"true\" allow='clipboard-write'><\/iframe><script src='https:\/\/v0.wordpress.com\/js\/next\/videopress-iframe.js?m=1674852142'><\/script><\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reason why I am anti-wraps is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It prevents you from getting stronger. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ultimate point is it to lift heavier weights, it is to become stronger.
