Your living your dream buddy, never forget that! Member 1873, 923 posts SQ 260, BP 165, DL 335 760.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 02.01.2013 @ 15:13 PM by Darrenmac1988 Right I'm in need of some new knee wraps, mainly for squatting but might use them for events. What do you guys rate as the best 2-3m wraps you have used? Also which knee wraps should i avoid? Thanks Edit: also how much do you think you get from your wraps?

This is from a powerlifting point of view i.e they add the most to my squat. I know they do exist in 3.0m too. Inzer Iron Z wraps feel far too flimsy, Inzer True Blacks feel a little too comfortable (I like wraps that bite and hurt)

I personally get around 5kg if that from the wraps i'm currently using. There very soft and just provide support for my knees if anything. I have heard of people getting a lot more from stiffer wraps......if you can take the pain

Morrisons - rump - 7£ Member 2206, 11578 posts SQ 228, BP 150, DL 260 638.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq	Vg has Zulu glove knee wraps. They're 2.5m long and made from same material as APT strangulators, only £20 too. He's had them 2-3 years and they're still in great nick

Aiming for a 250 squat by the end of 2012 Member 1989, 3168 posts SQ 240, BP 140, DL 270 650.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	If your knee wraps are even half decent and wrapped properly you should be looking for about 20-30kg extra plus I find my form is much better with wraps as opposed to without. If your not bothered about competing in powerlifting I've just got a set of strengthshop odins and they feel pretty good, about 3x the stiffness of my old wraps.

I was a bit wary tbh because my old wraps are so much softer. I've only used the Odins a couple of times so far and whilst yes they are tight and stiff the feeling in them is very good. Only problem I had the first time was trying to get under the bar to start with!

Hill sprints are fun! Member 731, 3253 posts SQ 200, BP 127.5, DL 232.5 560.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq	My unequipped squat is 155kg, my best in wraps (not put on particularly tight) is 175kg. 30kg out of some silly tight wraps should be pretty easy to come by IMO. Get some stiff horrible things and squat something massive!
