Closest to strangulator wrist wraps?
Hey guys, I had a pair of 24" strangulator wrist wraps I loved and I ended up losing one and of course they are sold out on APT. I was wondering for those that have used them & other wraps, what is the closest type of wrap you've found comparable to the strangulators? I tried on some convicts and liked them ok but not as much as the strangulators. I have a pair of 36" ZRVs that I hate, as they do not provide near the support but because they are so springy to wrap them tight enough to get support, it's so tight it feels like it's going to crush my wrist and is distracting.
Any recommendations are appreciated

Well I dont have experience with strangulators, but I bought a pair of 80cm heavy wraps from EliteFTS and dont care for them much. They are almost TOO heavy. The other pair of wraps I have are short, old, wore out Inzers, so the difference between the two is so extreme. If you want something thatll cast, I guess the EliteFTS wraps might do the trick for you. If not, completely disregard my reply.

depends what you like. If you like the wraps that are really really stretchy go with Elitefts. If you like the stiffer style get inzer or titan wraps. I love the titan RPM's that I've used for a couple years now. You can get a longer length if you like the long ones.

I'll sell you my 24" strangulators for 1000 dollars! They're pretty unique, I've never found any other wraps like them. I used to only use strangulators, but then I switched over to the 2XH APT's. I'm pretty sure those are discontinued as well, so I'm going to be sad when they finally die. I prefer strangulator knee wraps to anything else.

I've never used strangulaters before, but I love THP knee and wrist wraps. They are pretty stiff I think, Titans stiffest wraps.

Maybe I just havent wore enough different wraps, but I dont think my EliteFTS wraps are stretchy at all. Maybe they would get more stretchy after they got worn a bit, but I think theyre fairly stiff.

Could have been a different pair then what I had. I got mine at christmas 2010 and wore them one time before giving them to my roomate as a christmas re-gift.

there's really nothing like the strangulator out there.
I'm trying to convince shelley (owner of Rhino Power Gear) to develop something close to it, she's got some stiffer material that'll be able to get very close that she's making into knee wraps right now.

I'm sure we're talking about different styles of elitefts wraps, but the ones I have seen do not stretch at all compared to my Titan wraps. I think they are like the super duty heavies or somthing stupid though

You are on ignore
Never tried the strangulators, but I do have Elite wraps and don't care for them much. I bought these http://www.liftinglarge.com/parallelbreakerswrist.aspx and have been very happy with them.

I have a pair of 24 inch convict pro wrist wraps that work great. I tried my friends 36 rhino wraps which i liked even more honestly.

I've always stuck with my inzer wraps. Maybe someone in your local powerlifting crew has a pair laying around. I've seen some in the gym before, so you could get lucky.

I vote these for stiff wraps: http://www.flexcart.com/members/elit...?m=PD&pid=3558
Have a pair and love them. Serious cast feeling if wrapped right but dont choke my hands white unless I want them to.
