Knee Wraps

[Lightsout]

I've been having knee problem. So I try using knee wraps and my knee fill a hole lot better.. Do any of you guys use them and do you think that they work that will.

I feel they cover up knee injuries and give you a false sense of security while letting the stabilizing tendons and ligaments around the knee atrophy all the while letting you use a heavier weight. Theyre a recipe for disaster IMO. I use neoprene knee sleeves. I was up to 585 when I was 22 using knee wraps for 6, but never got a good pump in my quads. Without them I never got over 495 for 12. Now I try not to go over 405 and I get a great pump in my quads.

I got mine at Sports Authority. I got the ones with the hole for the knee cap. Keeps everything in place and the moist heat is great for them.

only time i wrap is when im squating over 405 or leg pressing over 1000

I only wrap on hack squats when going over 4 plates a side (usual working sets 6-8) or when back squating over 405 as Jon said....i tore my acl when i was 16....I was cautioned by my doctor to never squat but obviously that didn't take....I think though as the dude cautioned it can cover up mistakes leading to injury....if u can't do the weight without wraps u shouldn't be doing it in the first place

I use them on the seated leg press with the big sled foot plate once I start getting around 7 plates on each side.
