Reply With QuoteI prefer to get my numbers without the use of lifting aids. I would also imagine that wraps put unecessary shearing forces on your knees...

The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

they do really drive the patella back creating shear forces. I don't like to use them. You can really get 25-35 more pounds out of the wraps?

You can also get 50 extra pounds by putting a spring under your ass, but are your quads really benefitting?
Speaking as someone who's torn a patellar tendon so bad I needed surgery, do NOT use the wraps. Just concentrate on strict form and exercise your muscles, not your joints. If you want a great change of pace to wake up your quads/hams, try doing front squats for a while. They really isolate the upper legs without all the stress on your knees.
Rules? You mean we have RULES for that???
