Sometimes I use wrist wraps for my bicep curls, my wrists will have a hard time supporting all the weight.

I have a issue with that also- i can deadlift almost double my body weight for reps- but take the straps away and my grip gives out way before I do- i do mix it up and go straplees and do super high reps, but ill agree alot of people wear them for no reason

I use them for a lot of things simply to save my hands from being wrecked from lifting. Not a big fan of gloves!

I couldn't agree more. Your grip strength will improve REALLY fast once you do. I Deadlift 425 (more than double my bw) without straps at first I could barely grip 315 without straps but I just kept on training it and it improves very quickly. my guess is that my muscles in my posterior chain are stronger than my forearms.
