Member 735, 1193 posts SQ 220, BP 135, DL 235 590.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq	nine odd weeks ago I injured my wrist and a part of this I attribute to the velcro popping off as a recieved a clean slightly low. as such invested in a new pair - same issue seems to be occuring when I am cleaning. as such theres either a few things wrong * the velcro on these are crap - does velcro differ between brands? *im putting them on wrong - I wear mine accross the joint to keep the wrist solid but still mainly on the forearm. been looking at the fabric strength wraps that rogue do but know these are not legal in powerlifting so would need to use different pairs which sounds a faff can you 'refresh' velcro? suggestions on good wrist wraps?

Member 735, 1193 posts SQ 220, BP 135, DL 235 590.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq	so its just potentially cheap arse velcro!!! cool will take a look at titan or metal ones. been watching the youtube vids on the fabric strength wraps and still intrigued but think if wrist wraps of better quality don't suffer velcro then thats probably the best option

tight in the hole Member 2057, 3121 posts SQ 205, BP 140, DL 260 605.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq	Can I point out that you injured your wrist because you caught the clean wrong, not because the velcro came off. Catch a clean badly and all the velcro in the world won't stop you hurting your wrist.

not hilarious Member 1977, 159 posts SQ 150, BP 1, DL 215 366.0 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq	Has anyone got any thoughts on how tightly to wrap your wrist when cleaning? I know you basically go as tight as possible when benching or pressing of any kind, but for cleans you need the flexibility and I'm assuming there's a different technique to wrapping. Are the same types of wraps even worth using? When I watch videos of Olympic lifters it looks more like they're using athletic tape.

My Metal wrist wraps have never done it once. This x 1000 SS ones i barely even wore because they always popped off and messed up the lift. Metal blacks need a crowbar to un velcro!

An amazing human being Member 2047, 17156 posts SQ 262.5, BP 170, DL 300 732.5 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 25.05.2014 @ 13:07 PM by chaos My Zuluglove ones are feckin brilliant! Super strong sticky velcro billion times better than my SS ones and not much difference in price (they lasted about 6 months befroe velcro went and I ended up using sellotape to keep em on! Was a right ballache!)

Catch a clean badly and all the velcro in the world won't stop you hurting your wrist. very true. However if it had of held I wouldn't have injured it I feel. does my flexibility need to improve, does my technique need to improve - both yes but like a personal choice when it comes to belts I feel more confident with them and therefore will choose to use them for my heavier reps. of thats the case I don't want them pinging off
