When to stop using wrist wraps?

[ThickSoIid]

Not cold turkey, but when is a good time to not use wrist wraps. I'm talking about the powerlifting ones, 45 cm 2 inchs wide ish. I currently use them for heavy low bar squats, bench, ohp.

it's a support device.. it doesn't add any pounds to your lifts as much as it just lets you lift what you truly can lift when wrists aren't bending back....


i don't really think there is a reason to not use them...?

Only reason to ever not use them is because they **** up your skin

Using them won't make your wrists skinny or weak. Just like a belt won't make your abs weak

I think you meant to ask when you should start using them. If not, I stopped using wrist wraps when my compulsive masterbation got out of hand and my dick looked like a over cooked piece of meat.

I have this logic where if i keep using wrist wraps my wrist strength will be weak so it will be easier to bench back when benching etc...

your "logic" is dead wrong.

If you lay the bar across the bottom part of your palms you dont need wrist wraps to bench. I think its called bulldog grip, its just a thumbless grip with thumb around the bar.

I wear wrist wraps every single work set and with an ectomorphish bone structure I still have wrists bigger than 8'' around. They've probably grown since I started wearing wraps. You can train more and heavier with wraps so you'll probably get even stronger with them

[airmansprincess]

ive never used wraps...should i? I have tiny little wrists LOL. I just got a belt and had to special order the damn thing.

[baxtej44]

if you have wrist pain while squatting low bar or if you have problems keeping your wrists straight in line with your forearm while benching or OHPing, then you could benefit from wrist wraps.

I know it's wrong, but please enlighten me.

Its already been explained fully.

They let you train more often, more sets, more reps, more weight.

Doing all of these things makes you stronger.

What don't you get? They help support your wrist when dealing with weight that might other wise cause issues/pain in your wrist.

By providing support for your wrist it puts you in a better position to lift and not having to worry about your wrist.

I lift with them as my sets get heavier. I definitely recommend a pair. It isn't rockey science man. Stop over complicating sh!t.

If I get wrist wraps will I be able to add 10kg my bench like by next week?



(Not srs)

I only get a bit of pain on heavier squat sets, are they going to help? (Srs)

I can stop using wrist wraps whenever I want... I just don't want to...

The man, the myth, the legend. He came back to us!

I train with an 850 bencher. He puts his wraps on starting at 135. His wrists are neither small nor weak.

Mine go on at 225 usually. It's just stability for your wrist, it's nto going to make them weaker.
