Choosing the Best Wrist Wraps for Your Training

Not all wrist wraps are created equal. For dynamic movements like muscle-ups and static holds like planches, you need a wrap that offers the right blend of rigid support and flexible comfort. Look for durable materials that can withstand intense training, a secure fastening system for a snug fit, and the optimal length to provide support without limiting mobility.

When Should You Use Wrist Wraps?

Wrist wraps are essential during heavy pushing movements (dips, push-ups, handstands) and skill work where your wrists are under significant strain. They provide the external support necessary to keep the joint in a neutral, stable position, reducing the risk of sprains and long-term overuse injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will wrist wraps make my wrists weaker?

A: No. When used correctly during heavy or high-volume sets, they help prevent injury, allowing you to train more consistently and build strength safely. They are a tool for support, not a crutch.

Q: How tight should I wear my wrist wraps?

A: They should be snug enough to limit excessive wrist extension but not so tight that they cut off circulation. You should be able to fit a finger between the wrap and your skin.
