Knee Wraps ?

[Rocket]

Would knee wraps help to keep from tearing a muscle. I have never used them.

I probably shouldn't comment because I have never used them myself (though I just ordered some). But I would think you would be slightly more likely to tear a muscle using them due to the greater leverage it gives you which in turn allows you to lift heavier weights which would make your muscles more susceptible to tearing. How's that for a run-on sentence?

I didn't do so well in grammer so it's fine! I was not thinking of using more weight just using the wraps to support the knee. I don't know.

If im correct, they will most likely help protect your knee joint, NOT a muscle! I heard that they keep your knee in place and therefore it's not able to shift while your lifting.....

Lots of knee support. Your knees will remain safe with them on. Not your muscles. Joint

I think I will give them a try. I think my problem may have been my knee twisted. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and help!
