Handgelenkbandagen

Wrist wraps protect the wrists by maintaining neutral alignment during heavy pushing exercises. Indications: bench press >80% of your 1RM, heavy overhead press, front rack squats, weighted dips. They don't replace natural wrist strengthening — use them for maximal loads while working on wrist mobility separately.

30cm: CrossFit and functional training, preserved mobility. 45cm: versatile bodybuilding, a good support-mobility compromise. 60cm: powerlifting and maximal strength, complete wrist immobilisation. For beginners and cross-trainers: 30-45cm. For advanced powerlifters: 45-60cm. These wraps are 45cm, a versatile choice suited to most practitioners.

Slip your thumb through the loop, wind the strap around your wrist, moving slightly up toward your forearm. 2-3 turns are enough for good support. Tighten enough to feel support without cutting off circulation. Secure with Velcro. The wrist should stay in a neutral position, slightly extended.

Yes, but prefer shorter wraps (30cm) for Olympic lifts (clean & jerk, snatch), which require significant wrist mobility. 45cm wraps can limit the catch movement in rack position. For WODs including only strength barbell movements (deadlift, thruster), 45cm wraps are perfect.

Yes, wrist wraps can be worn underneath weightlifting gloves or directly on the skin. With gloves, the wrapping technique may be slightly different — make sure the wrap doesn't create uncomfortable pressure points with the glove. The combination of wraps plus gloves offers maximum protection for wrists and palms.
