Why use force cuffs?
Wristbands are really useful for protecting your wrists when weightlifting with heavy loads (over 80% of your 1RM) or when doing a lot of repetitions. They enable you to gain strength by reducing the wrist joint's range of motion.
With cross-training, heavy loads put a strain on your wrist joints. In this case, wrist guards help reduce fatigue.
Which exercises are best performed with wrist strength?
Power wrists are designed for upper-body muscle-building exercises, such as pectoral, shoulder, biceps or triceps sessions, where the loads are rather heavy.
How do I fit cuffs?
- Insert your thumb into the thumb insert,
- Adjust the elastic band around your wrist with the Velcro,
- Make sure the band is tight enough for a good fit.
Don't tie your wrists too low
The purpose of the wrist guard is to provide support for your joint. If you wear it too low, it will simply provide a bandage over the forearm, with no real support for the wrist.
Make sure your wrist guard covers and holds your joint well to provide real support and prevent over-extension of the wrist.
Pay as much attention to your knees as your wrists!
Knee pads (ref: 8548500) provide warmth for your joints, reducing the risk of injury during cross-training exercises such as the overhead squat or snatch.
