Wrist to weak to hold weight.
Wrap them preventing them from ever getting stronger.
Makes sense??

As you know Bazza, wraps, tape etc. we're used to protect a weak or injured body part, not to make that part stronger.
So then it got taken to the extreme beyond it's intended purpose.
But if that's what people want to do then go for it.
Wraps, sleeves, suits, shirts, steroids, fuck me it's all gone to shit.

When holding 2+*bw over my face, the last thing i want is a broken wrist. My grip is maximum lehal widtg and are cocked on a very harsh angle which causes pain. The fuck would i not wear them? Same with squats, at 3+*bw the weakest link in the chain is most likely to get injuted, why would i not prevent injury?
Powerlifting.
Maybe we need wrist wraps, elbow wraps, shoulder wraps. Just wrap the whole body up like a mummy.
Geared powerlifting. I couldn't care less. That circus can do what they want.
Raw is just slowly turning back into a half assed version of geared PL.
The preventing injury line is bullshit. How about strengthen areas to prevent injury and don't lift in a way that causes injury.

Wrist wraps help weak wrists
Straps help weak hands
Wrist wraps prevent wrist injuries
Straps prevent hand injuries
Don't know why powerlifters hate on straps but happy to wrap themselves up from head to toe.

advantage of straps is that you can have the bar in your hands loaded heavy with a double overhand grip minimising uneven loading of the back and possibility of biceps tears
Sure, I could learn hook grip, but I'm not going to stunt my deadlift progress while I dick around learning something made completely unnecessary by a bit of tow stap

Because you can put more load on your wrist than it could normally take. Done it before
