In Response To: A Question for Strength coaches! (TIM SWORDS)

Tim, I had no problem letting my kids use them when we did snatch/Clean pulls...I did nhave a problem when they wanted to use them snatching and C&J. The reason is this, out of the 275 kids I was responsible for training, I had kids that I did not feel comfortable with ( technique wise ) them using straps. I focused more on technique work with them than real heavy lifting. Now I know you'll say I'm punishing the ones that do have proper technique, but in MY SITUATION, I felt it was best to just say straps only on pulls.
