Knee wraps for ATF squats?

[kiosk]

Poll for usage of knee wraps for deep squats....

 

[blut wump]

I've not been able to get ATF while wearing my wraps. It's not for want of trying either: last time I used them my leg just above behind the knee was heavily bruised. They give great stability but I settle for breaking parallel when I have the wraps on.

I've never used them before. I think that all one needs are knee warmers. Once you get warm joint laxity increases and you'll be fine. As far as support... No clue.

what are these knee warmers your talking about super?

Well for me, the knee warmers are also called pants / towels. But you could google a product called Rehbands. They seem to be very popular nowadays.

I haven't used knee wraps in 25+ years so I doubt I ever will.

i've posted articles on knee wraps plenty of times. if you've never used them and don't have a problem- good.
if you squat heavy, wraps will protect your knees. they won't make you weaker- they will just protect you- so there's nothing wrong with using them if you feel the need.

Rheband supports are definitely the way to go...a step down from Inzer wraps but def do the job for some extra support...just be aware that they are sold individually.
