Weight Lifting Equipment

[@Ginsuwarrior]

dont know why you would ask ppl to like your video before they even have watched it

[@richearls2477]

Inb4 knee sleeves, oly shoes, inzer belt, and gangsta wraps

[@mccubzuk]

Totally agree with the introduction regarding developing a raw base strength.. respect!

[@antonioaguilar1858]

The only equipment I use is wrist straps. I use them on heavy rows, last sets of deadlifts, rack pulls, and shrugs! Keeping it raw through most of the workouts!

[@47bass47]

Came in excepting an Ani Brand shoe plug, not seeing one, leaving pleasantly surprised. Good Job Nick Man

[@gnarleypunkroker5]

each piece of gear you showed is exactly what i have on a list to buy upon needing it. you should do unboxings or your gym equipment when you finally get it for the new house.

[@jbrown259237]

I can't wait to see Nick bench 365, I was so happy to see a 345 bench press pr this yr from Nick.

[@GenericIOS]

Great video Nick, clear points and very helpful !!!

[@TheMd1975]

I like to wear elbow sleeves at times. Not always, but say half the time. I dont have a clue if its age (39), maybe I screwed something up (doc says it looks fine) or from playing football in school (QB mainly). But my right elbow at times drives me crazy. I try to warm it up good and at times that helps. Other times, it makes it worse. I have even tried using them only on the warm up stuff. Thinking the sleeve will help get everything nice and ready. So, I do use them if its bugging me. Wrist straps are great for back. Seems to take the arms almost all the way out of the movements. But if your only barbell rowing 45lbs...you dont need them. Only when the muscles start to tire in the arms (happens) or your moving decent weight.

[@bignikoli]

In some aspects yes but if you have a newbie benching their first ever max they should wear wraps so I think you are Wright and wrong and there is no wrong time to use equipment but it depends on how people are using the equipment and are they using it effectively

[@knite778778]

Just entering my second year of lifting and really needed a solid ass rundown like this. Excellently worded video. And you're huge as fuck man really inspiring.

[@clap5]

Wrist wraps...just have small weak wrist plus I injured them doing heavy reverse curls a long time ago...plus everyday shit from work. Compression sleeves for my legs...keeps the barbell from scraping up on shins too bad. Weight belt on rare occasions but usually the following day after doing heavy deadlifts. I wear it for work when I'm too snapped up to lift at work.

[@beauraymond11]

"I've put this off for far too long" Bilbo Baggins. Time to sub. Good video.

[@jayMbodybuilding]

After every big you tuber using it, I was finally convinved and ordered my lever belt (from House of pain, fuck waiting 6 weeks from inzer) and waiting for it is like being a kid counting down the days for Christmas lol

[@se0ul_train]

Nick Wright QVC NEEDS you!

[@IornDog91]

Good advice for the novice Nick. Have you tried those Reebok power lite shoes yet? Just bought a pair and love' em. Gym is in my home so everything I did when I started was barefoot and with no wearable equipment until maybe the second year when i bought the adipowers for squats. To me I don't feel they are a necessity, even though I'm 6,2 if I was traveling I would pack them. I'd just squat in flat shoes, they do keep me slightly more upright and involve the quads more but if you can't squat without them I'd suggest working on form. Again not talking to you just people who struggle in the squat.

[@IornDog91]

Wouldn't *

[@LiranzoFit]

Agreed! See too many beginners wearing wraps,straps and belts way too early!

[@cumshotoftheweek]

You will have a weak core

[@jasonbarner9931]

***** You severely limit your core strength..hence the suggestion to use a belt once weights get heavier and you run the risk of actual injury. As an example, I won't put a belt on for deadlifts until I am repping 315+. I won't use a belt until 250+ on squat...etc. It's like benching 225 with a bro spot going on (your buddy holding the bar the entire time you bench, so he's basically curling it with you) and then you try and bench without that person doing it and you can't even hit a single rep because you weren't moving the weight yourself. The belt will be that sort of false positive if you rely on it too much.

[@lemontube2027]

Good info, thanks Nick.

[@SCMAC17]

Nick Wright I avoided using a belt for squats and deads because I wanted to increase core strength and I was afraid wearing a belt would weaken my core, but eventually I had to start using one because the weight was getting pretty significant. But since using a belt I actually feel like my core has become much stronger. It makes sense too, a muscle that can push against something can contract harder than without any resistance. So I assume wearing a belt increases abdominal activation. Thoughts?

[@notafraid38]

hey nick. ive been experiencing some knee pain as well from increased squat frequency in my program. do you recommend sleeves or wraps for better support? thanks in advance and great vid as always

[@emils6050]

Awesome video Nick

[@migueltavaress]

Only chalk. But now i got the adidas powerlifting shoe, even though my ankle mobility is great im gonna try them out

[@FiremanSimon]

Good job buddy.. Snap crackle pop.. NICE.

[@tropical7848]

Im definitely getting wrist straps after today. Burnt out my finger and forearm strenght doing back exercises, which led to me letting go of the dumbells when i was doing traps. Frustrating

[@alexsd1234]

You say to go without equipment as long as possible. Makes sense for belts and wraps. What about squat shoes if you already have good mobility? I am pretty sure I want squat shoes, but I'm not sure when to get them.

[@ConvictedGreed]

Amazing video thanks! Was thinking about getting a belt but I think I'll wait now until I get a little higher up there. Might need to go pick up chalk now though haha

[@matthewgarcia7159]

I'm 16... Max deadlift 325 so far and I only use a weight belt and very rarely chalk if my hands are really sweaty.

[@gazyoung11]

Helpful video 👍

[@ghost62thug]

Lmaooo "it's going to be a snap, crack, pop" 😂 soo hitting the thumbs up

[@vns213]

I squat with 5 pound plates under my heels. Would squatting shoes be more beneficial than that?

[@lowdose338]

Only thing I really wear to help me is football gloves. I got so used to wearing them in high school I couldn't take them off. I get terrible cuts from lifting. I've had my hands stitched up more time then I can count from lifting with no gloves. Plus they keep the publics germs off me! Just my 2 cents.

[@jerryce424]

Some like the wraps for fashion at gym, liftin with my belly full of air feels good with out belt, I will use wraps once I can pull over 400.

[@matslovberg421]

Im currently 16 at a height of 5'8 squatting 235 for 5x5. I usually squat in converse, but I tend to use 3 lbs plated under my heel so I can squat low as I possibly can comfortable. Is it worth buying squat shoes?

[@0925pinky]

I agree with the knee wrap thing u said bt I squat 530 lbs and I can do it with and without knee wraps knee wraps for me personally are so I won't mess my knees up because I have bad knees bt me personally I don't believe that the knee wraps help with more weight bt that's just me and remember I do understand what you are saying. bt how do knee sleeves help I didn't quite understand that?

[@lincolnsmith245]

Did you find the elbow brace helped the tendinitis in your elbow? I've got the same thing and looking for something to help it

[@Broxerlol]

A few retailers have Romaleos on sale for $149. Ordered some from footlocker last night.

[@lupegarza7836]

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO BRO!!!

[@AlbasDad242]

Great video.

[@3kingspowerlifting119]

Are you gonna put the wrist wraps on when you go for a 365 bench? I think it'd be a good idea

[@searlkevin6]

I use weightlifting gloves when i bench press because i don't have chalk, is that ok too? (There are no straps, so my wrist do get strengthened too. Also, i only use them for grip purposes)

[@dimitrisantrizos]

I took your tip to lift naked and I got kicked out of my gym, thanks Nick...

[@ethangoss-dickie8544]

I had a question on the wrist straps I perform a lot of Olympic lifts (I'm a football player and wrestler so I need that explosion) should I use wrist straps for the Olympic lifts

[@thomas5809]

Nick, at 8:30 you fully outline the difference between knees and wraps, but in the beginning you say 2:35 "With sleeves, you'll never allow your knees to adapt." lol. Prehab and doing things to prolong a healthy joint are not even close to the same as letting something "toughen up"(like straps vs no straps to promote grip strength) There is no reason not to wear sleeves except effort and cost, or in my case, stupididididity.

[@danteafkCamelotUnchained]

Seeing his arms I feel the urge to eat freshly made loaf.

[@XBOXINSANECLAN]

Don't mind the stupidness but the bench wraps do I have to use both because I only have discomfort in one wrist

[@dubgaming4631]

Do you use chalk?... If so what brand and where to get?

[@ciscokidcspf]

i use a belt from best-belts.com and anaconda wrist wraps from Iron Rebel, my buddy uses the outlaws from them and both of us have nothing but good things to say about their wraps. i also have a pair of romaleos and love them to death!

[@danglsnipe23]

as my deads get into the high 400's i finally started using chalk and am about to go inzer belt, as a member of team fluffy do you recommend the 10 or 13"

[@MrArapahoe]

I thought about get a lever belt. However does it adjust a lot or do you have to get a certain size? Not the normal small,medium, large as most belts.

[@elliothij]

How is OHP a different wrist position than benching? If anything it'll be less strenuous due to the narrower grip.

[@Holtii14]

***** wut?

[@DanteRedgrave]

When you overhead press you should be using a thumbless grip because it allows the weight to track over your head better.

[@lukeinthehouse]

Joe Avignone + thumbless gives advantage of some external rotation which takes strain off wrists and aids mobility.

[@aprod122]

for me at least the position is different..with bench i can keep a straight path from elbow to how my hands positioned...but OHP my wrists always seem to bend back (which for me isnt an issue as it doesnt hurt) but i can see why for nick who OHPs a lot more than me would find it strenuous..but thats just my take on it

[@ikepotter8008]

What's the lifespan on those Rehband Knee sleeves, they're a little steep unless they last a good while.

[@WastedMind93]

nick u looking like private pyle with that haircut man...

[@SKRILLEX305]

Hey Nick how will I know when I need like a belt or something? I'm deadlifting 405 for reps now (3-5) but all I use is a little chalk

[@studiomaz]

lol wtf the fire thing was crazy! ur biceps lookin ultra large nick damn how many inches are your arms?

[@NickWright]

Thanks! Around 18" still. Haven't measured in ages studiomaz

[@larsebbesen1335]

Nick, is it smart to type in 90-95% of your one rep max when you are jumping to another program? Instead of your one rep max?

[@diggylifts9199]

I use oly shoes (squat shoes) and refuse to be a pussy and use belt (most of the time)

[@SkoobKu]

muito bom mano!

[@joshhillan1966]

I have recently recovered from osgood schlatters (a knee injury) but i still feel a lot of pain when squatting and i often cant squat. Do you suggest knee sleeves or a knee brace?

[@jonathondrum7172]

Sleeve, the pain should eventually subside as the condition is an overuse injury that people grow out of as they age. But you may always have a bump over the avulsion site.

[@NickWright]

Josh Hillan Sleeve. And take it very slow. One of my best friends has that.

[@joshhillan1966]

Thanks. Will do but i dont have it anymore since i rested from sports for about 3 years. My knees are just weak and sore even when walking sometimes. Thanks again. Love your videos

[@isaacdemoss13]

when are you going to do a powerlifting meet bruh?

[@Qtube23]

"And before NWB burns down house" hahaha

[@WorkHardGetResults]

nick what size inzer belt do you have 10mm?

[@senzubean31]

I've always worn knee sleeves, ever since I snapped my shit up playing Aussie rules football. Otherwise they crack and pop all the time. Can still squat fine though.

[@speed_will]

Yo nick what is your pr for flat dumbell press

[@maxwellwooley5937]

What happened to your sbd knee sleeves?

[@myboomstik69]

What day will the 365 bench attempt be?

[@rob10868]

[@markhodgkins5044]

Keep it up bro, fuck the haters

[@laxlegend93]

My wrists are fucked so I need wrist wraps. But that's really all I use.

[@TheRealGymAddict]

That half natty lighting though

[@angusross8840]

completely agree naked lifting for the win ;)

[@lemontube2027]

Good video

[@JohnMaddenChannel]

Yo Nick, I just uploaded a vid w you in it. I think you'll like. I think it's an old pic of you. Check it out...

[@jef170]

[@christurkthebrave]

Johnnie Candito has a great video about squat shoes! Also it would be nice to see chelsealifts do some raw naked lifting.

[@Allthingszombie13]

Good vid

[@Thegeekwiththephysik]

I always cringe when I hear people say they spent $200/£117 on squat shoes. I spent $110/£65 on mine, and they've lasted me 18 months. But then again, I ain't got that KZbin money.

[@chelseafcks4264]

You're so fluffy I'm gonna die!

[@MarkMacqueen]

Got pretty much everything you have bro, great minds think alike lol ;)

[@jasonmoreorless]

Snap crackle pop lol

[@AdamHamdan1]

[@Morphinominall]

knee wraps are legal in a lot of RAW feds around the world.

[@joedakin7156]

Wot does chalk do ?

[@BusinessAndFitness]

Wait did you just cover almost 10 different products without throwing out a discount code? Haha just kidding my man. But seriously if you could get a discount code for Romaleos that would be clutch :)

[@JustinP]

any grip aids take away from your hand strength

[@germanswagg]
