What are Wrist Wraps?
Our Wrist Wraps are designed to provide optimal wrist stability and help prevent injuries. They can also be helpful if you're already experiencing issues with your wrists. Many athletes use them when lifting heavy weights, such as during the bench press, shoulder press, or other pressing exercises.
We've chosen to make our wrist supports from a high-quality, durable, and elastic blend of polyester and rubber. This ensures maximum stability and a long lifespan.
Why use Wrist Wraps?
Our Wrist Wraps are developed for increased safety, stabilization, and comfort during your pressing movements. These wrist supports can be crucial for getting the most out of your strength training, whether you do CrossFit, powerlifting, bodybuilding, or simply need extra support. There’s a version that fits your training style and experience level.
How to use Wrist Wraps
- Check which of your wraps is for the right or left wrist. This is indicated on the care label inside.
- Once you know which wrap goes on which wrist, locate the loop and hold it in your hand.
- Pull the loop between your thumb and index finger so that the loop and the wrap sit on the outside of your hand.
- Keep your wrist straight and wrap around your wrist and slightly up over your hand to prevent the wrist from bending. Wrap as tightly as you prefer for optimal support.
- When the wrap is fully wound, fasten the Velcro strap and release the loop from your hand.
How tightly you wrap is a matter of personal preference and depends on the exercise. Some prefer to wrap tightly and loosen the wrap immediately after the lift to restore blood circulation.
What length should I choose?
Choosing the right length is an important factor in optimizing both support and performance. Different lengths offer varying levels of stability and freedom of movement. Shorter wrist supports often provide more flexibility and are ideal for exercises that require wrist mobility, while longer options offer extra support for heavier lifts.
When selecting a length, consider your training goals, the type of exercises you perform, and your personal preference for comfort and stability. Trying different lengths is a great way to find the perfect solution for you. At NTGear, we offer a wide range of Wrist Wraps in various lengths and flexibilities, making it easy for you to find the right balance between support and mobility.
Using Wrist Wraps in powerlifting
In powerlifting, wrist supports play a key role by providing extra support and stability to the wrists. Heavy lifts can place a lot of strain on the wrists and increase the risk of injury, which is why stabilizing wraps are a popular tool.
Our wraps are not IPF-approved. However, they can still offer many benefits during exercises such as the bench press and squat:
- Improved support and stability: Wrist supports help maintain a stable position and allow for more efficient power transfer.
- Injury prevention: Limiting excessive movement and adding support reduces the risk of overuse injuries and strain.
- Enhanced performance: With stable wrists, you can lift heavier weights and break new personal records.
Be aware that frequent use of Wrist Wraps may limit your range of motion and slow the natural development of wrist strength. Be sure to train without support occasionally to strengthen the muscles in your wrists.
In powerlifting, these wraps are especially common during bench press and squats, where the wrists often endure high loads. Use them correctly, and don’t hesitate to consult a coach or experienced lifter if you’re unsure how to get the most out of them.
How do I wash my Wrist Wraps?
To keep your wrist supports fresh and maintain their elasticity, it's important to clean them properly. Start by rinsing off any surface dirt with cold water. Then use a mild detergent and wash them by hand or in a laundry bag on a low temperature cycle. Avoid fabric softener and high heat, as it can damage the Velcro and rubber threads in the material. Always air dry them – preferably hanging or laying flat – to preserve their shape and extend their lifespan.
Are there different Wrist Wraps for beginners vs. experienced lifters?
Beginners often benefit from softer or shorter Wrist Wraps that provide adequate support without restricting mobility too much. This helps with learning proper technique and prevents over-reliance on the wraps. More experienced lifters or athletes handling heavier weights often prefer stiffer and sometimes longer wrist supports, as they offer maximum support and stability during very heavy lifts. The choice depends on individual needs, training goals, and experience level.
