WRIST WRAPS

Schiek is THE trusted source for high-quality lifting accessories. Our wrist wrap collection is designed to enhance your weightlifting and strength training experience. Choose from our versatile range of wrist wraps to elevate your performance and prioritize wrist support. Unlike most brands, Schiek Wrist Wraps are MADE IN THE USA. 

Wrist wraps are essential accessories for weightlifting and strength training, providing stability and compression support to the wrist joint. Schiek wrist wraps come in a set of two, made of durable cotton and elastic material, with each wrap measuring a certain length that determines how many times it will wrap around your wrist and how sturdy of support you would be looking for. Each wrist wrap includes a durable thumb loop at one end and an attachment strip band at the end.

Benefits of Using Wrist Wraps

1) Reduced Fatigue: Alleviate strain and reduce fatigue by providing crucial support and stability to the wrist joint during repetitive or heavy lifting exercises.

2) Injury Prevention: Maintain proper wrist alignment to minimize strain, hyperextension, or flexion, reducing the risk of wrist injuries during workouts.

3) Form & Technique: Ensure proper wrist alignment for heavy lifts, allowing for efficient force transfer and improved control, resulting in better form.

4) Enhanced Strength: Improve grip strength and overall lifting strength by creating a stable foundation and preventing wrist bending during lifts.

Wrist Wraps for Specific Exercises

1) Wrist Wraps for Bench Press: Essential for maintaining proper form and preventing wrist hyperextension during bench pressing. Boost your bench press performance with added stability.

2) Wrist Wraps for Deadlifts: Improve performance during deadlifts by limiting wrist bending, providing a stable foundation, and reducing strain and fatigue.

3) Wrist Wrap for Calisthenics: Ideal for serious calisthenics enthusiasts, providing proper alignment and support to minimize muscle fatigue during demanding bodyweight movements.

Choosing the Right Wrist Wraps

Selecting the perfect wrist wrap requires careful consideration of both support and comfort. Whether you're a powerlifter in need of wrist wraps for benching or someone seeking relief from wrist pain, the right choice can significantly impact your performance and overall well-being.

For serious weightlifters, wrist wraps play a crucial role in providing stability and protection during exercises like bench presses, overhead presses, and heavy lifts. Look for wraps that balance firm support and flexibility to maintain proper wrist alignment and reduce the risk of injury.

Wrist Support Level:

Consider the level of support appropriate for your workout routine. If you regularly engage in heavy lifting, opt for stiff wrist wraps that feature more material (up to 24”) for stability during intense sessions. For activities like CrossFit that prioritize flexibility, Strength Wrist Wraps may be more suitable, offering adaptability while still providing wrist support. For general workouts, bench presses, powerlifting, and more try classic 18” wraps that provide basic support and allow for a more natural wrist movement.

How to Wear Wrist Wraps:

1) Place the Schiek Wrist Wrap flat against your wrist with the loop for your thumb on the inner side of your wrist. The wrap should be centered over your wrist joint.

2) Pull the free end of the wrist wrap across your wrist and around it, ensuring that it stays snug but not too tight.

3) Once wrapped around your wrist to your desired level of tightness and support, fasten the wrist wrap with the hook-and-loop (velcro) closure.

4) Ensure it's secure but not cutting off circulation, providing well-supported wrists for lifting.
