Weightlifting is a sport that requires the use of the whole body but heavily relies on the strength of the arms and hands. Therefore, having a firm grip and strong wrists is essential while lifting weights. One of the most popular accessories used by weightlifters to enhance their grip and support their wrists is the wrist wrap.

Wrist wraps are a popular accessory for weightlifters and athletes who perform exercises that stress the wrists. Wrist wraps are made of durable materials like cotton or a poly/elastic blend. They can be worn around the wrist to support and stability during weightlifting and other exercises.
