Wrist Wraps for Bench Pressing?

[JustPlaneJane]

I've addressed this before to another poster. I haven't benched In while because of the excruciating pain that's in my wrist tracking up my extensors. The STRAPS along with my wrists being taped with white athletic tape and sometimes Rocktape shoring up the extensors and facia works as compression relieving some pain while I do the movement. Even though the pain is still above an 8, I switched to mostly DB work. On flat, some days I can only get to 80-85lbs on good days if I take an OTC pain reliever 120-130's for 8-10 aren't unusual. On chest days it's always day by day.

This is excellent (not your pain of course). This is exactly what I was wondering about. The carpal bones irritating the wrist nerves and tendons over a long period of time. You probably have lifted heavy as long or longer than anyone here except Wes.

I tried to grab my Olympic bar today with my wrist straps on and try the movement on my flat bench. I just realized I tried to use the straps with a thumbless grip and that is not what the illustration shows.

Since all of you are bench pressing leviathans who rep out with 500 lbs on the flat bench I wanted to ask about wearing wrist wraps while bench pressing.

Are people wearing them for support ?

Are they wearing them to protect against long-term wrist damage ?

Or is this poser gear and I should spend my money on white Otomix lifting shoes instead ?

Can we please get a few serious answers before you boys venture off on a tangent and turn the discussion into something about dicks ?

Personally I liked to wrap as high onto my palm as possible to create as much support as I could. During heavier sets wrists tend to lay back causing a loss of direct drive power and possibly pain from bending backwards.

I’d imagine your wrists are twice the size of mine ?

When you say “pain from bending backwards” do you mean immediate pain as you push, or pain later in the day or evening as inflammation flares up ?

Do you bench with a thumbless grip ?

My wrists are only about 8.5" so you must have tiny wrists.
Pain both during and after a lift, overhead or bench. Keeping the wrist straight helps push into the bar. I do not use suicide grip, it's one of those "natural selection" things to me.

Natty or not, that is an extraordinary amount of weight.

P.S. Not a “bro” (I’m a skinny female) but I know you didn’t mean it as an insult.  😊

Oh ok sorry ma'am, somehow i tend to assume that every getbigger is a male lol

Is this to be deemed representative of what you look like?  I would say you're too smart to post a picture because even I am bright enough not to do so.  Okay...I am bright enough in one respect but not bright enough technology wise.

I seem to recall you are quite tall.  Enough of my illiterate, albeit digressing, talk.  I am a bit on the weak(er) side today, young lady...Sorry for the trip down my mental staircase.

I’m not sure I look like her, but she has a pleasant face.

As for my pictures, I posted them before and sent my upside down coffee cup photos to Chaos, OMR, Henda, Pellius, and others. I have sent Pellius and Henda videos and photos, they can confirm what I look like. I was told by Princess L to absolutely NOT post my photo on Getbig that this place is full of weirdos and losers. I will abide by her request.

I am blonde, tall, and look like the actress Cobie Smulders. I am more muscular than her (6’ and 140 lbs) and I have bigger boobs.

If you’re near the Ontario Mills Mall in Rancho Cucamonga I am across the street having dinner right now, so you are welcome to join me, my treat.

"IT"won´t post a picture because it´s a Tranny gimmick account.

If she's smart she won't post a pic unless she wants the same treatment Booty got.

Well thank you kindly but I am nowhere near there.  I do not think posting a picture proves one's existence here and it would not be advisable to do so for you.  I tend to take the decent folk such as yourself, Princess, Wes, Taffin, IroNat, chaos, One and many, many more at face value.

Those such as Straw, Prime and LNM are to be taken at what I would term fece value.  In short, their feelings (they are incapable of rational thought) are nothing but shit.

Well, I find her thoughts here both mentally stimulating and very humorous.  Ribald?  Perhaps, albeit in a sophomoric manner but that in and of itself can be charming in a woman. 

Here's a picture of me with one of my brothers.  I'm on the right.

You`re only comeback is to make fun of a person who had Cancer.............you`re a piece of shit and it doesn`t faze me been in remission for over a year and my doctor told me I`m a miracle as my last scan looked as though I never had a tumor on my lung........my doctor said he never saw anything like it in over 30 years.

Even if I was dead I`d be better off than you because I lived and you sure dont.....bet you`re scared to cross the street without holding mommys hand.

551 lbs !!!!!

Holy crap, that is incredible. This information is awesome, thank you Sir.

I can fully understand the orthopedic damage in the wrist area using those types of poundages over the long-term.

I’m assuming “raw” means no bench shirt ? Good Lord that is an astounding weight to lift.

I very much appreciate the nice words little lady.

Always had exceptional coaching, equipment, atmosphere and drugs. It's what I did- I was supposed to be good at it.

You are correct... raw= no shirt. Body weight of 272 pounds.

Hey! With the best wrist wraps you will find yourself constantly rewraping and adjusting the wraps. The perfect tightness is too tight to remain the entire workout.  Just comes with the program
