It adds around 30 lbs. to your max if you practice with them. It's not like it's a bench or squat suit

>>41869773

It's allowed in weightlifting.

>>41870035

It's not that. It's that people are claiming raw when wearing straps - which is not the case.

>>41870144
Nope.

Tbh why don't all weightlifters use straps? It literally allows you to squat more which helps you lift more.

>>41870138
There are people getting 50-100 lbs out of wraps.

>>41870199

Not really sure who or what you're trying to reply here.

>>41870200
Nah.

Then why do I have so many trophies in my office?

>>41870274

I know that.What do you think I'm asking for?

>>41870250
Where? Have you ever used them? I've seen people get at most another 30 lbs., if they practice with them

wraps make the sport looks extra-ridiculous with how the so-called "athletes" walk towards the rack like they have severe hemorrhoids

>>41870293
You have to get wrapped by another person who knows what they're doing.

>>41869773
knee wraps are not raw, you are thinking of knee sleeves which do not store elastic energy

>>41870328
Bullshit. These $100 sleeves people are competing with obviously help.

>>41870326
>>41870320

In weightlifitng they do it on their own and walk around just fine. I guess they don't wrap as hard.

>>41870356
I wear SBDs and I get a bit of bounce but that might be more in my head then anything else. When I actually wrap with tape I can get like 5-7 kgs on my Oly lifts.

>>41870365
it's not a knee wrap

>>41870356
some memesters get SBD sleeves and they size them down so they can get elastic rebound out of them, which is pretty gay

when i used to squat (before i snapped my shit) i had rehbands that were properly sized and they provided no rebound, just made squatting more comfortable

>>41870389

Oh okay so this is Klokov NOT wrapping his knees then.

mirin hard as fuck

>>41870293
They must be using shitty Wal-Mart wraps or just have bad wrapping technique. Almost all the wrapped squat world records are like 30-80 lbs higher than the unwrapped records.

https://www.powerliftingwatch.com/records/raw/world

30 lbs is pretty low. I don't use them because they feel like shit and I prefer sleeves. You can watch some vids on how to get more out of your wraps.

>>41870482
>>41870326
I watched my friends get wrapped by someone with a 2000+ total. Lilliebridge wraps. They got around 30 lbs. on their max. It really doesn't add as much as people think it does.

Yeah what a surprise this world champion elite level professional weightlifter is flexible damn now I've heard it all.

Are you guys memeing or what?

>>41870571
Then your friend either has a weak squat, or doesn't know how to utilize the wraps in his squat. 30 lbs isn't a lot. Read threads on reddit, bb.com, T nation, wherever. There are lots of guys with 600+ lb squats getting 50+ lbs out of their wraps.

Holy shit do you really? That's fucking pathetic

>>41870236
Wraps allows you to squat more but only at fatfuck snail pace. They also hinder mobility and it's important to get as deep as possible when catching a snatch or clean.

It's like real life isn't always how the internet says it is. I'll give you at most 50 lbs. with a very experienced wrap user and lifter.
It's funny how you people don't think 30 extra pounds on your max isn't an impressive thing. I used to wrap. It usually got an extra one to two reps on my max, which is like 30 to 40 extra pounds maybe.

>>41870199

>>41873307
Strength is a cool premise for a sport, but I agree. Squat is a fucking training movement. If you're gonna brag about it, beat about what your body can actually squat past parallel, but it's a shitty sport in general. Sports are physical games, lifting isn't a game.

>>41873307
I do it as a highschool sport. Just another pin on my letterman jacket for me
