WHAT ARE THE BEST EXERCISES TO USE WRIST WRAPS FOR:

Since the main function of a wrist wrap is to provide support for the wrists, the best exercises to benefit from using wrist wraps are heavy-pressing exercises that put a lot of pressure on your wrists. These include:

• Bench press
• Shoulder press
• Clean and jerk
• Overhead press

BENEFITS OF WRIST WRAPS:

• Wrist Stability: Gym wrist wraps keep the wrist in a neutral position when lifting, helping with proper form when holding the bar or weights and preventing overextension of the wrist.
• Pain Prevention: If you have weak wrists, wearing wrist wraps can help prevent pain in the wrists as it takes some pressure off the joints and provides added support.
• Recovery: Gym wrist wraps aid recovery, allowing you to return faster to lifting with an injury, as the wrist wrap offers support and can help rehabilitate the wrist whilst performing lifting movements, placing less stress through the joint and surrounding muscles.

WRIST WRAPS FAQS

·        DO WRIST WRAPS WEAKEN YOUR WRISTS?

No, wrist wraps provide support and stability to your wrists, working with the existing wrist strength you already have. That being said, if you are looking to strengthen your wrists, using wrist wraps will not help to achieve this. Wrist wraps simply help to align the wrists and support them throughout your lifts, but if strengthening your wrists is your goal, you’ll need to implement some wrist exercises outside of your time using the wrist wraps or only use the wrist wraps when you really need them, such as during those heavier lifts.

·        CAN BEGINNERS USE WRIST WRAPS?

Yes! If you have wrist pain, weak wrists, or are recovering from injury, wrist wraps are an easy-to-use solution to protect your wrists. That being said, it’s best to save using wrist wraps for heavy movements or during high-volume training sessions where you are performing repetitive movements, such as overhead press, push press, or snatches. For lighter movements or accessory work, try not to become overly reliant on using wrist wraps, and instead focus on building up the strength of your wrist without the wrist wraps.
