ACE wrist wraps... ha ha.. lol.... dating myself back to the times of tight t-shirts, ACE wrist wraps and if you had the money yellow striped knee wraps. Then Inzer came around and they owned the wrap world for quite some time competing with Titan. I still use my old Inzers but getting some Elite FTS for xmas in anticipation of a possible come back. They seem pretty stout. From all the bros in the gym seems like personal preference is the standard.

I use a rolling pin. It's almost unbearable to use a foam roller sometimes. The rolling pin I can apply as little or as much pressure as I want and do it while sitting.View attachment 122708

You guys have gotten me geared up! Thank you so much, I went with the SBD eclipse knee sleeves.

I got my knee sleeves in the mail yesterday .I didn't know they made this much of a difference! I squatted 300 for the first time , except it wasn't 300 for 1, it was 305 for 5 on my last set (fifth), breaking the plane and with a slight pause. I can't wait to see what I can do when my belt gets here.

That's great news, I would say while they helped I bet most of the reason was they boosted your confidence. Well done

Thanks again guys, I've been using all of this equipment and the stuff is sick as fuck, even the $10 plastic roller from Ebay. I'm glad it's not foam, I wouldn't be able to push hard enough to roll out my quads if it was foam.

I just Rack pulled 5 plates with 150lb of bands on top of that for a triple with them yesterday. Some of the toughest straps I’ve ever used. Just have to get them looped right.

Ty dude, ordered. You guys always hook me up with the best shit here. I didn't even know what straps looked like other than seeing then from a distance in lifting videos. That's why i was surprised that there wasn't much to them.

I’ve seen some pretty complicated stuff for straps. Padding, plastic hooks, buckled. I think simple is better. There also some figure 8 options but the Pioneers are brutally simple and sturdy as hell. Plus they’re made in Texas
