Why is my grip better raw when deadlifting with just chalk vs straps? For shits I tried these straps https://www.amazon.com/Harbinger-Padded-Cotton-Lifting-Cushioned/dp/B0011861UI/ref=asc_df_B0011861UI/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693769151459&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11681251225887229456&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9018759&hvtargid=pla-354026788972&psc=1&mcid=416993f279b831b4af15419278196dfb on a AMRAP top set that I easily would get 8 reps raw with chalk, but i was losing my grip on the 4th rep. I completed the 4th rep, but I stopped the set and rested then finished the 8 reps raw. For whatever reason the strap was rolling off the bar with my normal finger grip that I use raw and it was causing me to lose grip. I only tried the straps because people claim you should get more reps with them, but these straps did nothing, but hinder my grip. Is it because I hold the bar with my fingers and should put it in my palms when using this piece of equipment instead or are these just a bad quality pair of straps? I used a double wrap before rolling it tight btw. If these straps are worthless can someone recommend a better pair I'd like to give straps a fair chance with AMRAP sets.

I wouldn't worry about the brand as much as long as they're this type of strap. I've had leather ones before, and have cotton ones now and the cotton ones are def easier on the wrists.
