Well here I was thinking I was using them to put my wrists in more safety and squeeze my palm a little bit to create a better shelf for the bar. I will try not to use them on my 207lbs bench next time, and see if I notice a difference. Now that I think about it, I have never done my work sets without wrist wraps.
I bench alone in my garage by the way, so it's not fashion or badassery, it's just stupidity
I guess.
