GPRS Wristbands – Muñequeras GB

Application, Use & Safety Guide: Wrist Wraps

How to Put Them On

• Preparation: Ensure your wrists are dry. Remove watches or bracelets that might interfere with the wrap’s compression.
• Thumb Loop Technique: Hook the thumb loop only to start the wrapping process. Once the Velcro is secured, remove the loop from your thumb to ensure an optimal grip on the bar.
• Correct Positioning: The wrap must cover the carpal joint, not just the forearm. The upper edge should sit right at the base of your palm to effectively limit extension.
• Tension: Wrap firmly. It should restrict excessive movement but allow for normal blood flow.

Benefits and Usage

• Mechanical Support: Stabilizes the joint during pushing movements (Press, Jerk) and overhead support (Snatch, OH Squat).
• Ligament Protection: Prevents sudden hyperextension under maximal loads.
• Proprioceptive Effect: Increases the feeling of security and control over the weight.
• Thermal Compression: Maintains the internal temperature of the wrist, facilitating smooth tendon movement.

Maintenance and Care

• Ventilation: Lay them flat to air dry after use. Do not store them rolled up or damp inside your gym bag.
• Cleaning: Hand wash with cold water and mild soap. Always close the Velcro tabs before washing to prevent fraying the elastic material.
• Hygiene: Air dry in the shade. Excessive heat from dryers will degrade the elastic fibers over time.
