Farmers Walk Question

I am really enjoying the Strongman Template right now and one question occured today.

On Day 5 I have to do a Carry Movement and since I only have a famers walk in my Gym I am doing that.

Is there any reason to use straps for the exercise?
In competition it of course is (almost?) always done without straps,
but I was asking myself what exactly is the goal here.
Should I train my grip or my body to handle the load or should I do it one week this way and the other week that way?

have a good week

It really depends why you’re doing the farmer’s walk. If it’s more of a conditioning and whole body training exercise, straps are fine. If you’re training for a strongman competition and/or it’s to train your grip, you probably shouldn’t use straps.

I don’t think it matters, especially if you’re not gonna do a strongman competition.
