They are like bench shirts. The elasticity increases momentum and moves some of the weight for you. Momentum is good for powerlifting, bad for bodybuilding. You can squat a significant amount more weight using wraps but takes the weight of the quads.
True, but people who have been training heavy for years wouldn't make a difference.......beside's you warm up before you stretch anyway, don't forget to add that to your "health advice"!It's always funny watching some inflexible fat cunt moaning about 'how he needs to use wraps due to his poor knees', it wouldnt be so bad if the fat slag knew he could relieve most of the knee pain by stretching his hams and quads
They really should put 'wotens health advice' on the side of packets of buns

yes all assisting lifting equipment are for ego lifting douchebags.
There was this paki guy at my gym a few days ago who was deadlifting the same time as me. this is the type of guy that uses every lifting equipment possible. skinny as shit. He asked why i didnt use a belt. i just said why should i. he had to think for like 5 seconds then he replied. ive heard it good for your back keeps it straight. i replied well if you cant keep your back straight without using belt you should lower the weight. he was just like uhh oh ok...
the only assisting equipment you should use is straps.
straps are for pussy's. If you cant hold the weight, then lower it, this isn't powerlifting it's bodybuilding. ::)you obviously know nothing about bodybuilding. in some exercises its impossible to hold on to the weight and get your back exhausted before your forearms are. there is a big difference, that is not egolifting.
IMO.. if you're going for PLing numbers or have an injury/weakness, use wraps. They added a good 90 lbs on my squat. If you're healthy and BBing, leave em home.
You mean you went up from the bar to a plate on each side????
i only use em on the last set especially if im lifting a heavier weight for the first time. my knee wraps have come undone on the first rep or 2nd rep, and ive continued without em.
wraps raise the hydrostatic pressure within your knees, thus lessens injury.
Ronnie and Dorian use em dont they ::)

Only a fucking idiot would make a generic statement that you should never use wraps for knees.
We all have kness in different states of physical health. My knees are shot to bits and i certainly use them for heavier sets and also for lighter sets in cold weather. I find wraps keep the heat in the joint. Just what my knees require.
pussy, the wraps are lifting the weight for you.
Something is wrong here. 2 of the 3 best MrOs used them. I guess that's how they got that good by letting the wraps do the lift?
