What Knee wraps are best?

[quasaibuff2]

Basically this is my situation, been lifting heavy squats for years, even had to have surgery at one time because according to my doctor I was going "too heavy, too deep". Well I've had my Inzer Z-wraps for years, (probably 7) and I know I need new wraps.

I was wondering if their is something better out there now, or should I stick with what I have had and buy new Inzer Z-wraps. Really the only other I looked at and ordered were the new Titan Titanium Knee wraps. The only problem is they're back-ordered.

Is one better then the other or are they two in the same, or is their another brand I should be looking toward to give me more support?

youve used the same exact warps for 7 years? they do wear out in less time than that..i jsut got a pair of Titan titaniums i like them..ive also used inzer which are fine..i would check out APT im using these and the rebound is great..

APT's better then the other two you've tried? Oh yeah, and I've probably had them for 7 years because I stitched velcro on to the wraps so I could keep them tighter, I've been too lazy to buy more and do the same

the titaniums are easy to wrap nice and tight..i have APT 2.5 M wraps so i get a little more mass behind the knee

I've also only found really one place to buy the titaniums online, is their others that I just haven't found?

try the metal all black line knee wraps if you think you are really advanced

Id agree with that..but like you said prolly dont need them if your not squatting 700

 

[b fold the truth]

I have several pair:

Inzer: like them, have squatted 800 in them, solid wraps.

NEW APT's: basically the same as the Inzers in quality.

Frantz TP 5,000 XL's: BEST far and away if you are looking to squat hard and heavy. Different material and the others do not compare to them.

On another note...I'd put some serious thought into WHY you are REALLY having knee problems. I don't suggest to ANYONE to wrap their knees all the time when they squat for any reason.

I totally agree. If you keep trying to "mask" the problem rather than address it, you could suffer a disastrous injury.

Knee surgery was about 3.5 years ago now, the knee has been doing great with the occasional swelling when I play a lot of sports, but the squatting hasn't seemed to bother it. It's all the extracurricular crap that kills me
