    You say to use straps on all but one of the three deadlift sets in the SAMA40 program. My straps are in the mail, would you suggest just doing one work set on deads until I receive the straps?

    You are probably fine for now. It's really not all that critical until you start really getting heavier. Even then it's not that you HAVE to, I just think its better for volume work to use straps

    Yeah man, I have actually never used straps. I just can't get the feel for them. I understand the value they bring, but I have just suffered through volume sessions without them.

    If you don't do the volume work all that often then it's fine for sure. If you pull with a relatively high frequency then I'd say they become even more useful.
