Wrist discomfort can limit your lifting potential, especially during heavy presses or rows. Wrist straps provide extra support and stability, helping you lift more safely and comfortably.
How to Use Wrist Straps:
-
Slide your hand through the loop so the strap sits across your wrist.
-
Wrap the strap around your wrist firmly but comfortably.
-
For exercises like bench press or overhead press, secure the bar with the strap if needed.
-
Adjust tightness as needed for different lifts.
Why You Should Use Wrist Straps:
-
Protects wrists from strain and injury.
-
Enhances stability during heavy lifts.
-
Allows you to maintain proper form and reduce fatigue.
Tips & Common Mistakes:
-
Don’t wrap too tight—this can restrict blood flow.
-
Avoid dependency; continue strengthening wrist muscles.
-
Check straps for wear and tear regularly.
