Wrist straps help a lot for OHP and bench press...

the same reason you woul use them for bench

i assume you lift naked in the woods without the "crutch" of lifting equipment right?

Only with half the weight, and a narrower grip.
PS you're a faget

they are literally must have for me on everything other than leg day

t. wristlet

I use them for almost everything now.

ask me how I know your dyel

>Jow Forums doesn't know what wrist wraps are

impressive

I got them recently due to some wrist pain. I wish I'd gotten them a long time ago.

they need to invent same thing but for shoulder

Fix your form OP
If you wrists bend backwards you can snap them up once you start lifting heavy ass weights.

ask me how I know you are not doing enough volume

OP said wrist STRAPS not wraps. Read again.

Meh I'm an ultimate wristlet. Benching over 315 without them just plain hurts. Same with 225 ohp. Lets me worry about other things than my bird wrists exploding.

OK then next question. Whats a good brand or does it basically not matter like straps?

I bought the rogue ones. I got the longest ones and if you're using them for powerlifting and really don't need any mobility I would get the same.

If you're using them for oly lifts you may need the shorter ones. The longer they are the more times you can wrap them around and the stiffer your penis gets.

literally just bought straps and used them for first time yesterday. I'm a wristlet (6 inch wrists with 16 inch arms).
Since I started repping 1pl8 OHP, I've noticed my wrists really started suffering. From my experience yesterday, it really did alleviate a lot of the wrist stress from OHP and Bench.
Personally, I will be using them in my workouts from now on and might even use them for pullups/pulldowns and rows.

also if you're not already aware, you are supposed to OHP with your hands are a particular angle (hands twisted more outwards) so that the bar rests more on your palm and thumb muscle, then your fingers

whatever gets your peepee going

>also if you're not already aware, you are supposed to OHP with your hands are a particular angle (hands twisted more outwards) so that the bar rests more on your palm and thumb muscle, then your fingers

were... were you guys doing this with the bar on your fingers and your wrists all back?

Holy shit.

i use suicide grip because bench grip on ohp always feels like shit and like my wrists are going to break

>you guys
>fit is one person that the enlightened redditor is talking down too

why not do more forearm work to make yourself less of a wristlet

i do but im pretty sure its more of a problem with my proportions or leverage or something. i have big strong forearms even though i have small wrists but it just doesnt feel good. i also have big hands and maybe that has something to do with it. ive started benching with fatgrips on the bar and it feels way better

You can't make your wrists bigger

do you not have muscles in your wrist that you can grow and make stronger?

No you don't.

then how do your hands move?

Tendons and muscles in your forearms and hands. You can definitely make your forearms bigger, but the wrist itself is just bone, ligament, and tendons. No muscle.

Fuckin kek

i started using them a couple of weeks ago because my wrist started to hurt for no fucking reason
some ligament is being a nigger and it hurts when i supinate my arm or when i hold a lot of weight
it's fine when i use wrist wraps so i don't care about looking like a retard

>replying to a 60 IQ retarded monkey to explain simple anatomy

I like my titan signature golds. Longer is better.

They don't do much for me on ohp but that said I don't ohp often (usually my overhead work is behind the neck strict press)

At a certain point it won't surprise you

I don't understand how even wrist curls and grip exercises won't make your wrists stronger too.

You can make your wrists and other joints a bit stronger but you can't make them bigger the same way you can make your bicep bigger by doing a curl.

So if they're stronger doesn't that help with support.

they help a lot if you aren't a manlet. i've noticed the dwarvenfolk don't need them to lift heavy because their tiny gremlin hands are made for tiny poles. us taller superior men need them

unless you're OHP'ing 2pl8...nigga you'll look like a tryhard bitch

They're just tendons, you can only strengthen them so much

You’re*

Got a pair for free when I ordered some protons. Hurt my left wrist somehow at home. Still felt pain at gym when I was warming up on bench so I put the wraps on. Felt no pain but they made my benching feel super awkward. Didn't notice any improvement in my strength, desu I felt a bit weaker. Haven't used the since.
