@@Ethos1231 I would take a good guess that it's due to consistant trauma to the nervous system over the course of several decades. He struggles to control the level of strength in which he's using for very light tasks since he's so used to incredibly heavy tasks like maximum effort lifting.
No shit, my only knowledge of how to use a wrist wrap was Silent Mike absentmindedly wrapping during a competitor video. This is a game changer for me, although I'm not sure I can handle a wrap that tight with my skinny girl wrists. Knee sleeves, belt use for 4 and 3 inch belts, shoes, belt use for women, ammonia use, which chains are best, would love video on all these. Thanks for supporting Neversate! I've had a bad week. This video has made me feel like there is good out there.
@@maxximus2012 to help with creating a tighter grip which will aid you a little in holding onto the bar. If the wrap is done correctly it makes is more difficult to open your hand, the idea is that this will help during the deadlift.
Learn something everyday. I watched yesterday so I might not remember if Dave explained why wrist wraps have a loop if not for putting a thumb through it? In short why a loop and not a tab of non elastic material?
The holding the loop thing Is something I started doing just because putting it on my thumb was a pain in the ass and is uncomfortable to leave on while actually lifting. Cool to see it is actually a good way to do it. Lover the vids Dave, thanks for all the advice. Wish I had these videos back in college when I was lifting. I took about an 8 year break from the gym, got fat, got sick of being fat and started focusing on strength training last year around this time. Lost 65 lbs and I am stronger than I have ever been at 33. Love having all these great resources and they have really helped me get the most out of training.
Swede did a video on wrapping wrists, I prefer his method. I hold the 'thumb loop' like a deadman's switch in my hand, very similar to Dave's demo but backwards.
I love this tip. Watched it when you first posted it and it changed how I wrap my wrists for bench. I mostly use your Constrictors for benching and I love them.
I used to wrap it with the thumb loop around my thumb, but all the tension of pulling the loop while wrapping it causes the loop to eventually tear apart. Also, taking off the loop from the thumb can be a literal pain and cause my thumb to strain. Thank you for this video!
It used to drive me absolutely insane every time I would see a lifter wearing wrist wraps while deadlifting. I just couldn't see the point of it. I mean, it's obvious why they're being used for the bench press, and I thin most people can understand intuitively why a lifter would use them on the squat, but there is no obvious rationale for wearing them on the deadlift....until now.
Im sorry but ur wrong about the belt loop, u just start it a little higher on the hand same way with thumb loop, plus those are 16s not 30s so no shit u cant get it wrapped right lmao i thought this guy knew what he was doing?
