Reply With QuoteI use them. I have an old pair of Inzer Black wraps (36"). My wrists have always been an issue, so I try to wrap them up pretty early. If I am benching, I throw them on at 275+. For pressing, I usually throw them on at 185+.

Wrist Wraps
Hello everyone.
Just curious, does anyone use wrist wraps when benching or pressing? If yes, when did you start wearing them?

Put them on for the first time about a month and a half ago when visiting Paulie Steinman at South Brooklyn Weightlifting Club. He told me my hands were bent back on the press, and I was losing energy, loned me a pair of wrist wraps and I fell in love with them.
I ordered a pair, and I wear them on my super heavy days for my last warm up and my heavy lifts. Stronger with them, helps staying tight, to me, worth 10x the price.

I use the Schiek 24" black wraps for snatch, clean, jerk, press, bench, front squat... almost everything. I started wearing them due to a wrist injury, but have stuck with them. Almost everyone at my gym has started using wrist wraps. I think most people have either Inzer or Schiek.

If you plan to lift in the usapl you can only use Inzer or Titan. For general strength and conditioning a 24" wrap works well, but for powerlifting a 36" wrap is where it's at. I've had Inzer, Metal (elitefts), and TiTan. Titans were the worst, metals were the stiffest and Inzers felt the best for general S and C
