Why use wrist guards?
Wrist straps are really useful for protecting your wrists during weight lifting exercises with heavy loads (over 80% of your 1RM) or during multiple reps. They help you gain strength while reducing the range of motion of your wrist joint.
In cross training, heavy weights put stress on your wrist joints. Wrist guards can help reduce fatigue.
What exercises should you use wrist guards for?
Wrist guards are intended for upper body weight training exercises such as workouts for the pecs, shoulders, biceps, or triceps, where weights are fairly heavy.
How to put on your wrist straps
- Place your thumb into the insert,
- Adjust the elastic strap around your wrist with the rip-tab,
- Ensure that the strap is tight enough for a good hold.
Do not fasten your wrist guards too low
The goal of the wrist guard is to support your joint. If you wear it too low, it'll just be a forearm strap, without really supporting the wrist.
Ensure that your wrist guard covers and fully supports your joint to prevent over-extension of the wrist.
Listen to your knees as well as your wrists!
Use knee support (ref: 8548500) to provide warmth to your joints and reduce the risk of injury during cross training exercises such as overhead squats or snatches.
