Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Hey guys, I finally ritired my wraps that I used to get from big 5 and bought some inzers for the first time. I have to wrap different due to the variables between the two but with the inzers my skin gets extremely pinched right above the knee cap and I was wondering how some of you wrap because I know I have it wrong.

well i wrap mine with my leg straight out, and i roll them tight. the tighter the better and the more weight. i roll my knees up going around the inside. example:
left knee, i hold the roll in my right hand grab some slack and put it underneath my knee and wrap it over my knee so the begining of the wrap is on the outside of the knee, and then i take the roll and go over it on the inside of my knee.
i hope this helps at all!

Also keep your leg a little flexed when you start rolling. It might help the pinching problem. And do what the freak said!

from the description that u guys posted, i think i wrap mine a bit differently... i straighten out my leg and wrap one full time around the bottom of my leg, and then cross over the top of my knee to the top of my leg and do 1 wrap, and then go down so the wrap over laps about half of the wrap on the bottom..
yes i know i suck at explainig, but its like a criss cross pattern... i feel like i get a lot more out of doing it this way then just wrapping normally.

Do you wrap from inside the knee out...or outside the knee in?

Some people say that the direction that yoiu wrap makes a difference. I think that it is just a preference thing and its kind of a ritual for me to go inside to out and from bottom to top overlapping about half a width every wrap. I have never noticed a difference but then again i don't sqaut 800.

I always flex my quad when I wrap. I wrap from below the knee up and always from the inside out (always wrap to the outside of your leg). Sometimes I wrap straight up and down the knee and other times I do the figure 8 wrap. Both work and I really can't tell a difference in performance. I think I read something by Louie a while back where he recommends wrapping the knees from the inside out. He said that it puts the knee cap in a more natural position and the chances for injury are lessened.

I wrap both knees starting from my left going under. I feel no difference in the way or should i say direction its wrapped. I wrap tighter as the weight get heavier. And if i am running out of wrap and the tie will be at the bottom i loosen just enough to make the bulge on top. That is an old trick that i always use. It does somewhat create an illusion.
I start 1 wrap width below my knee and wrap up. I dont go much further down then that. I like most of my wrap above my knee. And on the knee.

thanks for the info. on my oldies i was wrapping from bottom to top but in a circular way 3x then a criss cross over the patella, the old brand of wraps had about a 1/4 tension as the inzers. i tried a crossing pattern and tried to focus on bringing up my starting point of wrapping and got it. my next question is does in to out while crossing the knee work better than going out to in?
