With me it's the opposite. Any other back move I train is always with weights that I can manage without straps. With deadlifts, I never put the straps on until the bar gets to 365lbs and moving up. Doing Bent Barbell Rows with 245lbs after a deadlift or Rack Pull session with 405+ feels like I'm not holding onto anything.
I have tried in the past with 405lbs with no straps, but my grip gives out after 4-5 reps or so. Plus I'm trying to focus on keeping my scapulae and lats contracted, and straps let me do that to knock out the reps I'm after.
