    Choices are Straps, Chalk or Liquid Chalk. I prefer Liquid Chalk when deadlifting. I use straps when shrugging.

    Your flexor carpi radialis and ulnaris and finger flexor muscles are weak.
    Work on them more and you won't need straps.

    Are you using an alternate grip and chalk? If not look into these before straps.

    Plus double over hand shrugs and high rep dumbbell rows.

    Using straps isn't as big a sin as say, not squatting below parallel and if you don't plan on competing in a powerlifting competition than using straps on your last sets isn't really a big deal. After all, if it's okay for people to use belts then why not straps?
