Best video I found on wrist wraps. You actually told me what I needed to hear. Ty for the info!

at first I was like "6 minutes just to know how to tie the wraps ? ima skip to the point" but then I listened to everything and there was valuable information I didn't know I need in the video. Thank you

[@BarbellLogic]

Thanks!

[@OriGummie]

Thanks for the video. I'm a skinny Asian dude, and my wrists are the size of a match. I recently injured my left wrist on a bench press. Hopefully wraps are gonna help me avoid injuries in the future

[@PlatinumSan]

Same here, I had to get a serious wrist splint to help heal my wrist before going back to my lifts. These splints have a metal rod to really stabilise your wrist so that you don't move/injure it more while you are healing.

[@bobsacamano4]

This is a common issue for me. No matter how much I try to strengthen my grip or wrists, increasing the weight on bigger lifts usually leaves me with 1-3 sprains per year and it sucks. I'm on a break week right now because of this shit

[@cowabungusdingus16]

@@bobsacamano4 super late reply but instead of taking a full week break from the gym why don’t you just deload for the week?

[@mitsukiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

Lmao you just described me and my situation

[@reactking7093]

​@@bobsacamano4 I felt the same way I have relatively small wrists. And honestly I had to change how I lifted. I realized that my form was off and that my left wrist was prone to bending. So I basically had to purposely hold my left wrist straight. Eventually over time it got stronger. So now I don't experience wrist sprains. But recently I got some wrist straps just in case.

[@Comrade_Chloe]

Thank your for getting straight to the point. I broke both of my wrists as a kid and I’ve found getting closer and closer to 200lbs on bench press that it’s getting hard for me to keep them in line with my arm.

[@BarbellLogic]

Glad this helps!

Hands down the easiest to understand video on this topic. Extra points for him not seeing the need to take his shirt off.

[@owenmercado8871]

Idk how this video so accurate and on point. All that you wanna hear and learn about wrist wraps are on this 6 min. video.

[@chrisscoleri1672]

Awesome video man. Perfectly explained wrist wraps. For me wrist wraps have always kept my confidence up on my heavy lifts and definitely helped preventing old wrist injuries from coming back. Recently upgraded to these 3x super heavy duty wrist wraps from goblin gear and 100% a game changer even more with protection, for me it just shows how important certain lifting gear is and id definitely encourage anyone to at least try wrist wraps out.

[@theorhami7692]

I’ve been doing push pull leg split for 3 years and I’ve recently been unable to perform any upper body exercises because I’ve torn a ligament in my wrist. Been out of commission for 8 weeks now so as soon as I’m back into the gym, I’ll be takin all this information into consideration. Thanks for the video bossman

[@BarbellLogic]

Awesome. You might also consider a football bar with wrist wraps - some people have said that that helped their wrist as compared to a normal bar.

[@shellderp]

I had to figure this out on my own when I was having wrist pain on press. Helped a lot!

[@tahneestoodley1953]

I’m double jointed in my wrists so it’s almost impossible to keep them straight. Haven’t been able to increase my bench at all for months. Definitely going to try using wrist wraps! Thanks

[@acoolxss2496]

Have you tried already?

[@ollvi]

@@acoolxss2496 she can't answer because she forgot to take wraps off after the set and kept them on for the entire training session, so her hands didn't get enough blood, so they needed to be amputated

Thanks for watching & commenting.

[@phillipharden7016]

I like to use them when I curl, not for support but to remind me NOT bend my wrists

[@Bydey]

Just wanted to say what a great informative video. You answered all my questions. I will add that I currently use 18 inch ones and they give a lot of support. I couldn't imagine a 24 inch one. Plus one for the detailed explanation on how to specifically wrap them. That was the main reason I was here as I feel I've been wrapping them a little too low and it looks from this that I was correct. Will wrap more at the base of the hand now. Thanks again.

[@BarbellLogic]

Thanks for your comment. We're glad it helped.

I thought I was using the wrist wrap wrongly. Thank you for this video!❤

[@ronineditor9920]

I finally had to get wraps... I'm getting up there in age now, 45, 185 lbs, my heavy day flat bench was at 345/350... but now it's dropping down to around 325 because my one wrist can't take it anymore. My tendons are constantly hurting behind the thumb. Can't believe I've been lifting all my lift and had no idea how to use these so thanks for the video.

[@RonColetta-oh8mq]

Same thing with my back and using straps. My hands just start to hurt abt halfway through my sessions and its either half ass my workouts or accept the fact my BACK is way larger and stronger than my freakin forearms and I cant limit myself to just what my natural grip can handle

[@bryanweatherston4534]

I use WIR (wraps in reserve) to help determine the intensity each time I go around the wrist

[@Creberton]

underrated comment :D

[@jiffjifferson5365]

Something that rarely gets talked about Wrist wraps keeps ur wrist closed and tight while benching. Why thats important: The bar wont slip and crush ur chest while benching. Do a simple test. Make a fist with one hand to simulate a bench press. With the other hand squeeze the wrist that has the fist. Now try slowly opening your fist. You should notice a big difference Protect yourselves especially during a heavy bench.

[@TAROTAI]

[@landonmatthew]

this is perfect thanks so much!!! can you do a video on knee sleeves?

[@BarbellLogic]

What would you like to know on knee sleeves?

[@landonmatthew]

@@BarbellLogic Similar to this video - what’s their actual purpose (it seems most fitness related gear comes with misconceptions about their use case), types, materials, sizing, how to choose a good option, keep them on for the whole exercise? pull it off between sets? Are they even a good idea? I saw your video about how squatting with the right cueing should eliminate knee pain. An interesting thing i learned from this video was to pop off the wraps between sets. I do it anyways but I thought i was just a wimp, hahaha. Anyways, this video was done so well, and I can’t find anything near the caliber of your work on knee sleeves.

In the past year my wrists has starting to get a bit stiff / slight discomfort from doing really heavy bench, Overhead or a lot of sets of push up. Would it be wise to use wraps on PR sets when going extra heavy to avoid hurting my wrists? Not on all sets ofc.

Yes, that would be an appropriate use of wraps.

[@galaktyczne_przygody]

Thanks. I had no idea how to properly wear it.

[@vishalwagh520]

Should I only use wrist straps on pushing movement?

[@BarbellLogic]

Generally. You might wear them when you squat too. There really is no reason to wear them when your wrist is in tension as compared to compression (so, not during deadlifts or pull ups).

[@danieloliver9930]

Thank you Great Vid.

[@adrian18825]

Would u benefits from wrist wraps during pulling movements such as muscle ups if you’ve suffered from wrist instability?

[@BarbellLogic]

Worth a try...lots of movement during muscle-ups, and obviously it's not PURELY a pulling movement. During pure pulling movements, wrists typically stay straight because of the tension.

[@papasalvo]

well now im curious as to why they have a rule about the thumb loop not being allowed on ur thumb does it give u an advantage?

[@happy-vf9tp]

Do wrist wraps help relieve the pain in the tendon at the base of the thumb to the wrist??

[@BarbellLogic]

Possibly - they help keep the wrists straight while lifting to prevent pain from the wrists flexing or extending during lifting).

[@frankieroMRC1981]

Is this something that would be helpful for people with hyper mobility in their wrists? I injure my wrists constantly opening doors just from the push, so im afraid to start lifting.

Might talk to doctor about, but SHOULD help. They're cheap, so worth a try with small amount of weight.

In pulling or pushing exercise my forearm starts soring very quickly that's why I can't touch to failure sometimes. Is wrist wraps can help to increase my durability and can help me to get rid out of fast forearm soring ?? Please Help me out

They probably won't help. Forearm fatigue means grip fatigue, generally. You may need to do more grip training.

Use'em for both, but if one wrist is the reason you use them for both, that is fine.

[@burntfishknuckles]

What type do you recommend for full workouts? I have gloves that has a wrist wrap on it that I've used for years. When I needed some more gloves I bought some gloves that didn't have wrist support.
