I used to be like that. Atleast they are getting in there and doing something. Rather then being lazy and playing video games all day. They will learn. Originally Posted by MyK

That's about the same as people wearing a belt to do dumbbell curls. I do not see a real use for a belt as long as you use proper form and use a weight that works your muscles and not your ego. I do not use a belt for 400 lbs deadlifts.

Wraps for anything other than a pulling exercise are completely pointless....bench press included!

That would be quite funny to see someone use wrist straps on a treadmill at a walking pace and then slip. They'd just be dragging there...
