Alabama thread!

I need some new wrist wraps...

The rogues look nice, but I just can’t bring myself to buy them. I’ll feel like I’m headed to do kipping pull-ups with the CrossFitters every time I use them.

 

man I remember 9th grade I tried to start playing football, skinny as can be. got to a 100lb bench press and was ecstatic with myself...

 

I'm not saying you're wrong as far as injury goes, but you can see people all day at some gyms get a bounce on their chest and butts come up when benching 315. there's strong ego lifters out there. I'll give you if you squat and hit depth i guess your form can be trash as well if you get it back up.

When i say they're butts come up i mean an obvious raising of the butt, not that bench clinching stuff power lifters do.

I want some more dumbells in increments of 10 from 60 - 100

 

Skinny skinny.......


I graduated high school at 375

 

i have a rogue bar and i'm a fan of their products.

 

@Cory.Upton Get in here.

 

This just sounds like someone that can't bench 315... but who am I to judge.

 

lol please please never do that kipshit stuff. I love my rogue straps

They make good stuff, not denying that.

 

i agree, they would've never made it in competition, but as long as they feel good about themself.

all the inspirational quotes say you're only competition is the one in the mirror, but if he used to only be able to bounce 300 and now can bounce 315 did his arms get stronger or his pelvic thrust get stronger.. either way gainzzzzz!

 

i've never used wrist wraps or wraps of any kind rather it be knee wraps or to help grip on deadlift. Are you guys wearing wrist wraps as prevention or a necessity? The only times i wish I had wrist wraps are when low bar squatting heavy.

the only safety gear I used is a 10mm 4" belt and SBD knee sleeves.

 

I wear a belt and wrist wraps for everything except back, when I use straps.

I use straps every set after my grip fails during back workouts. I’m trying to get my back bigger, not my forearm.

I start loosely wrapping my knees at 225 and wrap them tight moving up from 315

 

I want my forearms jacked though. I like that feeling when I can't pick up anything.

Would you say wrapping actually increases weight you can do, i've read it does, but have never used wraps.

 

Yes it helps you lift more.

 

they don't allow wraps in all forms of competition then i'm guessing. it creates a spring like rebound

 

Depends on the wrap. Knee wraps and wrist wraps are allowed I believe. Like the rogue ones I posted. I think...

 

Absolutely it does. Depending on how tight you wrap them.

 

There are different categories. Ranging from raw to full support
