Wrist Wraps

Wrist wraps wind tightly around the wrist to keep it firm on bench press, overhead press, jerks and handstands. Lifting straps do a different job: they tie your hand to the bar for pulls, and you’ll find them in lifting straps.

Most wraps have a thumb loop. Hook it over your thumb, wrap the wrist firmly, then slip the loop off before you lift. Longer, thicker wraps like the Lara Star heavy duty camo feel stiffer for heavy pressing. Shorter, softer wraps allow more movement for CrossFit workouts. We have wraps from Harbinger, Pure Strength, LivePro, Lara Star and Rocktape.

Lara Star also makes wraps in country flag designs, including England, USA, Brazil, Italy and Spain. For palm protection on the bar, see our gym grips and palm guards.
