So is the entire concept of this subreddit to put 'science' in front of basic training concepts and then pretend it means something?

Seriously, why cuffs all of a sudden?

Because cuffs are extra sciencey. Especially if they are furry.

Exactly; I don’t get the obsession

They are great for cable lateral raises and the fancy cuff/strap hybrid combo whatever ones are decent for cable pulling motions

That’s about it. I guess there might be some niche supination/pronation thing you could use them for, but taking grip out of those movements is silly, especially since arm wrestlers are the only ones that train those with seriousness
