Yeah, I feel like that’s something that should be taught in person. However, I would check out power lifting videos. I learned about straps when I got into powerlifting. Also, farmer walks/carries are amazing for building forearm strength.

I’ve started hanging on my pull up bar for now. It’s easy because if I’m near it I’ll just jump on it for close to minute at a time.
 

And my plan right now is to only use straps for my last set of deadlifts as I want to be able to lift as heavy as possible in that moment.
