Strength / Weight Training

I never said I did though, so go back and read what I wrote instead of getting your pants in a twist

Also I did and then you're not making sense....

Main difference for me is that I've never had my grip limit a 1rm attempt, only higher rep sets, and I would like, at some point, to compete in a powerlifting meet, where I won't be allowed to use straps, so atm would prefer to train without.

I own straps from when I damaged one of my finger pulleys climbing and wanted to keep deadlifting without aggravating it, but haven't used them since it healed.

Also, one of the main benefits of the big compound movements is the amount of things trained all at once imo, so why remove a part of that.

Which part am I missing?

Also, not not aiming it at you.... Do what you want.

I think hook hold isn't worth it over a strap.
