But you can't help yourself.

I said wrist WRAPS not wrist STRAPS. I don't use straps unless I've overtrained grip and want to focus on a some specific muscle group -- e.g., I'll use straps on 400lb+ shrugs because by that point in the week, my grip has had enough but my traps can still take more.

Wraps, on the other hand, are really for joint protection. I have a bad right wrist from too many years of writing hard, grading papers, etc. So I use them anytime my wrists are supporting a lot of weight.
