When you wear wrist wraps you create wrist stability and any movement of the wrist will be much more difficult.

For example, in the bench press, you want to ensure that the barbell sits in your palm directly over your wrist joint.  As the load gets heavier, the wrist might cock backward, which will increase the stress for the entire kinetic chain, from your wrist, elbow, and shoulder. 

By wearing stripes series wrist straps in this scenario, you have a better chance to keep the barbell stacked directly over the wrist without it flexing backward.  

2. Gives You The Ability To Push Beyond Your Fatigue Limits

When you’re training hard, you will push your muscles to their fatigue limit.  

Not all muscles fail at the same rate though.  

There is generally a cascading effect where your smaller stabilizing muscles will fatigue first, followed by your larger prime movers. 

If you wear camouflage series wrist wraps , you can protect your smaller muscle groups from fatiguing quicker. 

This is the effect that tight thickened wrist bracers have on your grip.  

When you wear wrist wraps your fingers will squeeze harder around the bar.  This is why you see some top-level powerlifters wear wrist wraps while deadlifting.  

5. Makes The Weight Feel Lighter In Your Hand

If your hands are tight around the barbell the load will feel lighter in your hands, which will build your confidence under heavier weight. 

Like I said, my go-to wrist wraps are the Inzer True Gripper Stripes Series Knee Strap, which are made from 40% elastic, 10% polyester, and 50% cotton. There’s also a strip of rubber down the middle of the wrap, which grips your skin, ensuring that the wrap does not move once it’s secured by the velcro.

There are several ways that you can wear wrist wraps depending on the benefit you’re trying to leverage the most.
