Why do the same shyt 4x a week? Contest prep or something?
Smolov Jr in an attempt to hit a 300 bench as fast as possible. I'm around 280ish now. A few people I know have done 2-4 consecutive cycles of it with great results.
Right, wrist straps help your forearms or whatever muscles during the bench press. Power lifters use them in competition because they are an aid.
If you start using it, you will increase your chest, shoulder and tricep muscles to handle X lbs. in the bench press. Then, when you take the wrist wraps off, your bench magically goes down for some reason.
Think about it. You want to increase your grip strength at the same time you increase your chest and tricep strength. I used to have wrist wraps. I stopped using them a long time ago after reading an article about wrist wrap use. Look at the pro bodybuilders, are they using wrist wraps during training all the time?
It's for your benefit not to become dependent on them.
Tbh wraps, in the limited time I have used them, didn't really add anything to my bench, but did make my wrist feel a bit better. As it is without them they bend but not much. I feel your logic is somewhat flawed like when people say you don't use your core at all when in a powerlifting belt. Not to get all
and not take your advice, but overloading where my wrist is weak, I can push bigger weight and eventually hit bigger numbers. Even with wraps your forearms are still being activated. As long as I can say I did it raw, I don't really care what equipment I have to admit using breh. I ain't trying to be a BBer here (not at this point in time anyways). If greats like Dan Green, Jeremy Hamilton, Ray Williams, etc are using them...well yeah.
Besides, there's nothing I can really do about the low bar squatting
Also, 245 for 10x3 today. OUCH.
Years and years of lifting and my wrists are just now getting used to lifting heavy without wrapping them.
