wrist straps on bench

[paisano3]

Last night in the gym, i saw a man using wrist straps while bench pressing. he was taking quite a long time, tightening the straps around the bar, while using a a normal pronated grip for bench. I couldnt figure out why he was using them for bench, i've never experienced any grip related issues while benching...

am i totally missing something here???

thanks

You never know when an earth quake might hit your gym, better safe then sorry i guess.

wrisp WRAPS are common , lifting straps are silly to me unless he has some kind of handicap/injury and its the only way he can lift.
