Just my opinion of course, I personally lift with no straps all of the time simply because it feels easier to me as I do a traditional deadlift grip.
And I also agree that a 1mr calc is not an accurate representation of what you would lift... Tried that out back in high school and I was sorely disappointed lol...

Only time I'd ever consider straps is doing rack pulls with more weight that I can actually deadlift. There are some born, and through their daily work routines, that have a grip. I just don't understand why you would lift with them, especially doing a light weight that you can do reps for.
Lmao about the 1rm calculator and HS. I seem to remember something like that too but when I was in HS it was of the print variety lol.
