The primary benefit of wrist wraps is to help stabilize the wrist to prevent hyperextending and promote proper wrist placement under bar. With wrist wraps, you can better stabilize barbell weight and prevent sapping any strength from your shoulders or legs for corrective movements.Wrist wraps should only be worn, during heavy pressing exercises like bench press or overhead press because your wrist can get in a vulnerable position, and you can overextend it leading to injury. A wrist wrap will provide support around the joint to keep it in position and minimize the risk of injury.

Most wrist wraps come in pairs, made of cotton or nylon material, with each strap measuring 18 inches, including a sturdy loop at one end, and lastly a Velcro strip band at the end.
