You can never get them as tight doing them yourself so find someone else (who knows their s**t, preferably) and get them to do it. I thought I could wrap my knees fairly tight but a russian mate cranked them so tight I was bruised for weeks. | ||

I agree, I used to think I was wrapping my knees pretty tight until last year's ssm qualifier when Neil Hamilton (Thing) helped me with my wraps and showed me what tight knee wraps actually feel like. | ||

salad dodger *missing* Member 1805, 10367 posts SQ 215, BP 121, DL 240576.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | Ive prob mentioned it before but the Andy Bolton youtube vid is quite good for rolling up wraps and putting them on tight. Out of interest can it actually be damaging to the knees to have them too tight??? | ||
