Knee wrap advice

[bigbird916]

I'm seeking advice on buying some knee wraps. I've searched, and all I can't find what I'm looking for.

I haven't competed(yet), my best parallel squat is 365x1 and 325x5. I train with an inzer 10mm belt, and blue rehbands for my knee's sake. BW 225. I'm looking to compete in the next year or so, but want to get my lifts up first.

I'm torn between the inzer iron Z's and a couple of the elite fts wraps. But any help would be greatly appreciated!

Inzers are a comfortable, stretchy, and easy to use wrap. For elite, I've only used the heavy wraps and they are much stiffer than the Iron Zs, maybe the elite normal wrap would be closer. I like titan titaniums and RPMs.

Thanks. I was definitely leaning towards to inzers as it was.. This is my first set of wraps, I know can always go up from there. I Appreciate the advice

Elite's wraps are trash. Get some inzers or titan thps

Do you like the THPs for knees? They are my favorite IPF wrist wrap, convicts for non ipf, but I didn't like them for knee wraps.

I've tried them and like them. I use the grippers in comp but the THP's would probably give the same pop

if you want Inzer, and its your first wrap, get the Iron Zs in 2.0m

i havent tried the THP knee wraps, but i love my thp wrist wraps

What federation do you plan to lift in?

for a first wrap the z's are very good--- for multiply i like the apt 2x or 3x wraps (i own the 2x but ive used both).... raw my stance is much closer and like a tad more stretch--- the inzer grippers are pretty good and the z's are good too--- the elite heavy wraps are also good--- get 2.5 m unless you are doing a fed that requires the 2m wrap--- your partners (or you if you wrap yourself) will thank you for the extra half meter.

Don't bother with stiffer wraps for raw lifting. Myself and too many lifters have tried it and it just doesn't work. I've used a fair few but I'll only comment on the ones that I've used extensively.

Metal Silvers. Brutal wrap, cast iron, not suitable for a raw lifter. I found when these where tight it was actually difficult to get speed on the descent because they were so damn stiff.
APT strangulators, beautiful wrap, good for raw lifting but imo it's a little too heavy. The pair I have is a thrashed as **** 2.5m one, I have a brand new 2m pair but I want to ration those out given the likelihood APT will never make these again.
Inzer Z, can't go wrong with these, whether 2m or 2.5. I would even suggest just going 2m because if using a wrap roller you will get more revolutions than you need. I do believe there is a point where wrap tightness is just going to spit a lifter out if they don't have the strength for it.
Metal Blacks, my current knee wrap using a 2m (even though my fed allows 2.5) and in my opinion the best wrap of the lot. It will bite, much more than the inzers will, but they are a powerful wrap. My training partner got me 15 revolutions. I could NOT make depth with 220kg, and I'm not kidding, with 270 I literally let the weight push me down and it kinda popped me up without really having to do much.

So inzer z's or metal blacks imo. Prob the inzers.

Titan RPM- Good for raw, good stretchiness that can be used for a lot of pop
Inzer Z- Too stretchy for me. I only use them for lighter sets, not enough
Titan Titanium- ****, **** **** ****, unless you want them for comfort and don't have sleeves (which you do) don't buy
Strangulator- <3<3<3<3
Titan THP- My next pair of wraps

SPF most likely, there's a comp coming up in November in sacramento, which is 25 min from me.

I plan on lifting raw at least for now, and I use a medium-wide stance(a bit beyond shoulder width).

Try out the new rhino anaconda 2.5 meters. I'm liking them a lot right now. Favorite knee wraps ever were the APT hybrids but good luck getting them. The anaconda's to me are a bit of strangulators with a touch of mambas for those familiar with apt. Otherwise for those familiar with Inzer like the true blacks but you can actually hold on to them and a bit stronger.

I believe they allow 2.5m knee wraps. You will want to read their rule book. Bring a duster it may be a little dusty.

I checked and they allow up to 3m wraps. So for someone like me with no wrap experience, raw, med-wide stance, do you think titans or inzers? Or those rhinos you mentioned?

I just bought a pair of the Rhino wraps in 2.0m for my mock meet. Will report back after I total 1500

Rhino=not allowed to wear=don't even bother to read about

Met the guy in charge of them (also in charge of USPA) seems like a great guy though
