Did you use the wrist wraps and how are you wrapping?

Did you use the wrist wraps and how are you wrapping?

I did but not sure how to answer the 2nd half.... they were tight enough I couldnt wear them between sets. I took some video let me see what they show on the wraps, mu set up, bar and grip placement as well as technique

 

[Btcowboy]

Not the best view of the wraps or bar placement the light reflected bad.

 

[Btcowboy]

The 315x3 top set got some practice to do

 

[Nordic]

You and Brand are doing so good man. Its so nice to come back on after acouple weeks and see you guys haven't missed a beat!

The stuff for squats starts at 4:50

I have definitely been wrapping too softly and too low for bench lol.
I'm for sure not shaking, because I'm wrapping so.hard on wrists

Knees, yeah, I pretend I'm putting on a tourniquet, but need to up my wrist game

Good stuff, never thought about the thumb loop that way or using for DL to assist with grip

 

[Nordic]

^^^ me either. Makes sense when you watch it. But we'll see how it feels when one does it. The knees I never did before but I am now lol

I am thinking of different knee sleeves or going wraps.... habe the STrong sleeves right now

 

[Worf]

Sbd knee sleeves are top of the list imo, Yellow jackets from Titan Elite FTS has some good ones too. You’re probably limited since you’re in snow Mexico. I think Sbd has a Canadian distribution site

Regular or tight fit?

They do
and the prices arent TERRIBLE either
Maybe 10usd total more for the sleeves than if you bought them in the U.S.

While we are on the topic
How often do you guys squat with wraps?

I dont do it often, I prefer sleeves for the average session and wraps for the occasional CNS training and big numbers

 

[Worf]

My last 2 meet preps I only used wraps during the actual 7-8 prep period. This go around I’m going to do more in the wraps and practice the technique. Especially since I’m switching wraps. They plan on wrapping me the last 4-5 weeks leading into the meet.

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Stronghouse Project makes good sleeves too.
