Maybe at submaximal weights. I was more referring to when people use them to artificially increase the weights they can lift.Anecdotally from my own experience, using straps significantly reduces stress on the CNS. I could not deadlift heavy and use hard grippers at the same time. When I was working with #3, I could not max deadlift and vice versa.
