I recently bought a pair of strength wraps in hot pink from The WOD Life, which is a South Australian company with fantastic service and quick postage. I highly recommend using for any of your crossfit supplies :)
So the wraps arrived and they looked great, but I didn't understand how they could work. I would take the wraps to crossfit with me, but never use. That was until one day I was doing front squats and as the weight got heavier, my right wrist really started to hurt, so I decided to try out the strength wraps. I put the strength wraps on and with the next squat there was no pain in my wrist at all. I now use them regularly for most weight lifting.
Have you tried strength wraps and what colour or pattern?
I have some strength wraps and wear them occasionally as I don't want to rely on them. Mine have the pink ribbon for breast cancer on them ... I think I may have gotten them for 'The WOD Life' too.
ReplyDeleteSince you mentioned that Michelle, I am trying not to rely on them as well, so I haven't been using them for the olympic lifting course, but my wrists were getting really sore today in the snatch grip.
ReplyDeleteI find the snatch grip is the worst for my wrists.
