    I don't think it matters, and everyone will prefer one over the other. If you liked Gangsta Wraps then get another pair. If not, look at powerlifters and what they wear. I got Rogue because they are neon green. I got longer ones (24" I think) so they help more

    I like the Titans, or Inzers. The good Inzers, not the all red ones. My Titans finally died and I picked up a pair of Harbingers because I was at a sporting goods store. At first I thought "wow 1/ 2 the price and just as good!!" but after 2 months the loops are already separating and the elastic is stretching out. In a few weeks I'm going to order another set of Titans.

    I just got some cheap ones from Amazon.
    Aqf, heavy duty. 18" I think. Under a £5.

    I only use them on squats tho, so I can't say how they Function for othet stuff. But they are solid so far and I get no issues with my wrist now, from a previous non gym issue.

    You have no idea why people use wrist wraps do you?

    OP, do you prefer a stretchier wrap or something cast-like?
    I personally really enjoy the Iron Rebel wrist wraps. One of my training partners prefers the Titan Signature Gold.
    It'd be like staying fat while running marathons because it's more impressive to finish a marathon when you're overweight. It might be impressive in the short run, but in the long run it just doesn't make any sense. ~breathinglife

    I have Rogue wraps right now. They are pretty good, but I donʻt like the thumb loops. I always end up unstrapping the thumb loops after I velcro the wraps. For that reason, I was looking into getting the multi purpose wraps from Mark Bell where they have the full loop.

    OP. If you ask 10 people you will get 10 different answers. The best one is the one that is best for you and your training needs.

    I use double ply leather wraps by Risto sports.

    Hey Man, How's it going? I always wanted to try the leather ones, but I worry that I would get the ring of a throwing weight or a link of the chain, or knot of wood from a caber hooked around the buckle while I was throwing and pull the heck out of my hand. I guess I could have a set for lifting and a set for throwing, but I am a cheapskate.

    Oh by the way, I've got my snatch up to 66kg (from 60) and got a 93 kg C/J (from about 87.5). Going to be switching more over to throwing/strongman stuff for the summer months, but things have gone well.

    Hey, bossman.. All is well.. Great job on those PRs.. Keep it up!

    I love the leather because they conform to your wrists.. They become 'one' with you.. I also love them because they do not constrict the bloodflow (like the elastic type) yet they provide amazing protection, and you can keep them tight your entire training because they are breathable.. I have been using the leather style for years now, and I probably will never look back.

    In fact, the designer of the leather was a strongman..Weightlifters, particularly the Chinese, started to adopt them just a few years back.. So your 'peeps' are the ones to thank for..

    I cut down a pair of Everlast junior boxing hand wraps and use them as wrist wraps. I like that they provide support but don't feel constraining. I also have some rogue short wraps which I will add when I need more support.

    I LOVE my Gasp Hardcore Wrist Wraps- I always wear them because I've had some elbow and wrist pain in the past. They really seem to help and give me extra stability. My wrists are kind of bony, so I feel like they're a weak link in my pressing. Maybe it's just psychological, but I hate lifting without them.

    I use Versa Gripps Pro. They are a little pricey. The advantage I found in the Versa Gripps is in exercise were grip is essential like bent rows, pull-ups and deadlifts, they provide better grip with less effort. That's idea because I can focus more on the back muscles. Probably not the better things to use if you are strictly training for strength.
    How can you visualize training a muscle if you don't know its structure?
