If you’re already using wrist brace options or wrist splint for support, wrist wraps can be a gym-specific enhancement for added protection during workouts.
Wrist Wraps vs Wrist Straps
Many confuse wrist wraps with wrist straps. While both are useful, they serve different purposes:
- Wrist wraps: Support the wrist joint during pressing or overhead movements.
- Wrist straps: Aid grip strength for pulling movements like deadlifts.
A good gym setup includes both, along with weightlifting tape or hand bandage for additional security.
Best Exercises to Use Wrist Wraps
- Bench Press
- Overhead Press
- Dumbbell Press
- Push Press
- Heavy Squats (for front rack support)
These exercises put stress on your wrists, and proper support like Wrist Strap or wrist and thumb support can reduce injury risks.

FAQs
What is the purpose of a wrist wrap?
Wrist wraps help support the wrist joint during heavy lifting, preventing overextension and reducing the risk of injury. They also improve stability and control during pressing movements.
What are the disadvantages of wrist wraps?
Over-reliance on wrist wraps may lead to weaker wrist muscles over time. They should be used for heavy sets and not for every workout to ensure balanced wrist strength development.
Where should wrist wraps sit?
Wrist wraps should sit just below the wrist joint and slightly onto the hand to provide compression and support. Make sure not to cut off circulation.
How to choose wrist wraps?
Consider the following:
- Material: Look for elastic and breathable fabric
- Length: Longer wraps offer more support; shorter wraps offer more flexibility
- Closure: Velcro straps provide a snug fit
- Thumb loop: Ensures proper positioning
Born To Win wraps meet all these criteria, making them a top choice for both beginners and pros.
