Do you like a casted feeling or soemthing more flexible?
I've used the rogue fitness wraps which were a bit flexible but pretty good and now use Inzer true blacks which are a casted feel. Love the Inzer's but wish they were a hair longer.

im not sure. I'd like something rock solid when im on the bench doing as much as i can...
but maybe something a little less substantial for dumbbell and other work, since theres more rotation and whatnot
i'll likely get both
i looked at the rouges and was a bit concerned about the material being mostly cotton... i dislike cotton for the gym as i find it holds my stink worse than poly
how long are the inzers? I dont think i need a real long wrap bc of how thin my wrists are

Big fan of the SBD wraps they come in two versions 3 different lengths so if you want stiff you can get it but I'd reccomend getting the regular versions they are perfect to me.

a quick glance at the interwebs is telling me those SBD's are almost 50$
have your tried other (cheaper) options?

Tried 2 different pairs before one that I got from sportscheck years ago and all that was good for was cutting off circulation. Than another I got from a fitness depo which wasn't bad but was poorly made lasted about 2 months before the Velcro ripped off when I was putting them on. Honestly it's one of those things that you get what you pay for. I've used these SBDs a whole lots I absolutely love them and they still look brand new and the quality is second to none when dealing with SBD. I got mine on a bit of a sale but I think I still spend 35+ dollars

Parallel breaker wraps by liftinglarge.com is a good 1st option
VersaGrips.... Best straps made.

Wraps buddy
Check em out Mayne... They're a hybrid strap. Way better than a standard strap.Wraps buddy
If you can't grip it you can't lift it
Dont use a crutch man. Stick with the forearm grip training and you'll be glad you did
Back day is a hell of a test. In my early years I almost went to straps. I'm glad I didnt. Between training strapless and jerkin Im confident I could squeeze water out of a stone

Really confusing 2 different pieces of gear I think, straps are what helps people with weak grip and wraps are what keep your wrists intact, Eric Spoto used wraps on his bench world record

I'm interesting in people's experiences with wrist wraps
which are NOT straps
in PL straps are generally not allowed whereas wraps are considered to be part of raw lifting
I already have some "versagrip" style straps that i do use pretty regularly bc
a) im not a competitive powerlifter, and i dont intend to be
b) I have long very thin forearms which limits grip strength
c) I can lift significantly more than I can grip
I don't just use them right away, but after about 3.5plates on a DL, I can't hold the bar well
four weeks back I hit a 535lb dead using the straps, they are useful IMO

Bro chalk and switch grip if you cant hold your dead lift like that and you aren't fricken eddie hall or some other monster than its time for some rack pulls and static grip holds to manilisize those forearms (made that word up do you like it lol?)
Also fricken good pull my friend 535 is a nice number for sure!

I recently did start to address it a little bit just so the deficit between my lift and grip strength doesnt widen any worse
I saw a video at ST where Eddie Coan recommended a barbell hold for grip strength
Not sure what you call it but you grab the bar centered and balanced at your side with one hand and just hold on as long as you can, aiming for like 30 seconds
Ive been doing those once a week for a few weeks now
the main reason I never wanted to beef up my forearms is bc of the aesthetics....
If youve ever seen a truely slender person such as myself which some jacked forearms you know what im talking about...
You get like this weird, hamstring looking nugget on your arm
Don't look good to me

Hit grip like 2 times a week it's important. Farmers walks are another great one
