I have also noticed as I have gotten older I have much more vascularity, not too sure why (skin has gotten thinner).

If you stop using the straps your forearms will strengthen and you will be capable of doing the chins without your grip giving out.

I'm sorry that your grip fails you, I dont need straps, and I dont have to worry about my grip failing me so there is no reduced "mind to muscle connection" as you put it.

for me personally, i'd rather not have my back dev. suffer because my forearms give out.
i find just doing regular forearm exercises are good enough to build your forearms.

i only use them on certain exercises (rowing and chins) but some of us less gifted need to use them.

Gifted? You are dreaming.

Actually, it is "your"

as long as you keep doing forearm exercises there's nothing wrong with straps.

i've been using straps for a long time now. i only use them for a few ex. such as chins, rows and a few other things. my back and traps have grown immensely thanks to the straps.
they haven't grown b/c of the straps, they have grown b/c you have trained them. if your grip strength was up to par which it would be if you didn't use straps then there wouldn't be a need to use them
and my forearms are again, ONE OF MY BEST BP'S, by doing wrist curls and shit like that........... they are a good bp b/c of genetics I bet, not b/c of wrist curls. how are little forearms curls gonna pack on the mass? they won't. Heavy movements and DB exercies where you can go heavy are the best things for forearm growth. it ain't the little wrist curls
