Equipment for fitness and powerlifting: wrist bandages. Wrist wraps for bench press

IN modern world more and more often people lead sedentary image life, works with a computer. At the same time, time is not allocated for physical activity, which is simply necessary for the normal development of the body and the promotion of health. Literally ten years ago no one thought about this state of affairs. But recently, active promotion of a healthy lifestyle has begun, and many people have started working out in gyms.

A healthy lifestyle without injuries is great!

It is, of course, good that people have begun to think about their health, proper nutrition, throw bad habits. In the case of a gym, do not forget that in addition to large muscles And beautiful figure he can give you many painful injuries if you do not follow the techniques correct execution exercises and use sports equipment to prevent various injuries to muscles, ligaments, and joints. For example, such as hand bandages for bench press.

Any task must be approached wisely, especially in power sports, in otherwise There is simply no avoiding injuries that can last a lifetime. In the late 90s and early 2000s, there was fairly little literature on powerlifting and bodybuilding, so most young athletes consulted experienced trainers, thereby maintaining your health.

Today, it is enough to go to any resource for “jocks”, where you can find hundreds of programs, as well as many different methods for preparing an athlete for competitions, etc. Due to such a large number of sources, more and more athletes are beginning to think that they are already they know everything and they don’t need a coach. Against this background, the number of injuries that people received during training is growing.

Muscles grow faster than the skeleton strengthens

One of the most common injuries sustained in the gym is damage to the joint and ligaments of the hand. This often happens because athletes train only the muscles and forget about strengthening the ligaments and hands.

A sharp increase in workload does not always have the best effect on the human body. It is a known fact that muscles can grow much faster than bones can strengthen, and a rapid transition of loads to a greater level of severity with a corresponding unpreparedness of the ligaments or joints leads to an increased risk of injury.

Dangerous exercises

If we talk specifically about the hand, then exercises with free weights are quite dangerous. For example, even with the correct wrist angle and arm position, painful sensations inside the wrist joint under heavy loads. You can also consider other popular exercises that are accompanied by heavy loads on the hand - deadlifts and others. All men want to have powerful back and pay a lot of attention to exercises for its development. Moreover, the weight used during such exercises can be more than 300-400 kg. Of course, joints under such loads without use sports equipment They won't last long.

There are exercises that are less difficult, but which also create a significant load on the hand. Basically, these are specific exercises with dumbbells, during which the hand is in an unnatural position.

Application of wrist bandages

In order to avoid such injuries during exercises, athletes use a wrist bandage. It really helps to prolong the functionality of the wrist joint and protect it from various injuries and sprains.

Indeed, due to the fact that the wrist bandage compresses the joint, the “strength of the hand structure” increases, and this allows it to carry heavy loads with a significant reduction in the risk of injury.

Powerlifting coaches recommend using a special wrist bandage for both beginning athletes and veterans of the sport. Regardless of how many years an athlete has been practicing, he must take care of his health, because even a minor injury received during training or competition can cause pain for a long time. If the hand is damaged, pain can remain for life, so you should not take risks, you need to use a wrist bandage.

What to do to keep your hand healthy?

To maintain the performance and health of your hands, in particular the wrist joint, special hand bandages are an indispensable means of protection. They help to avoid injuries both when performing heavy basic exercises and light ones that isolate certain muscle groups, exercises in which there is an increase in the load on the hand.

When buying carpals, you need to take into account their length, as well as width. After you put it on, your hand should not be pinched so that blood stops flowing into the hand - this can have bad consequences. Also, after rewinding, the hand should not move freely, but should be well fixed in one position - only in this case will the bandage take on part of the load. A good option Inzer hand bandages are considered, the manufacturer of which has already established itself in the market sports accessories as a manufacturer of high-quality and reliable products.

Good day everyone, dear readers of our project BUILDBODY. Today we will talk, or rather, analyze one of the very useful devices, sports equipment - hand bandages.

In fact, this is an integral part of the equipment of any athlete who engages in strength sports, lifts iron, and so on. In this article we will analyze in detail what kind of “” this is, which is necessary for every advanced strength athlete.

WHAT ARE WAND BANDAGES NEEDED FOR?

If you are already a fairly experienced athlete and work with heavy weights, then, of course, you need to use bandages for both knees and hands. If you do not use such equipment, you can easily get a hand injury. Sprains, sprains, etc. The most common problem associated with the hands is “ hygroma».

WHAT IS “HYGROMA”?

Most often it manifests itself in men who are actively involved in physical activity. Surely Many people have had this problem when a small lump forms in the wrist area. You shouldn’t be too scared, since the bump is almost harmless and most often goes away on its own. However, if the inflammation is large, this may cause pain and discomfort when performing the same bench press.

HOW TO GET RID OF A TUMOR?

Treatment of hygroma depends on the stage of its development. In the beginning, if you notice this tumor in time and significantly reduce the load on your wrists, it may go away without intervention from doctors. Unfortunately, very often after treatment with traditional methods, reducing the load, and so on, the lump forms again. The most effective treatment today is the removal of the tumor through surgery. We will talk more about this unpleasant phenomenon in another article.

To prevent this disease from occurring, use wrist bandages and monitor your health. Train correctly, follow the technique, eat well and everything will be fine.

WHAT BRANDS SHOULD YOU TRUST AND WHERE SHOULD YOU BUY THIS EQUIPMENT?

Firms are now leading in terms of global scale Titan, Metal And Inzer. They produce fairly high-quality wrist and knee bandages. You can also try the company Animal, Bad Boy etc. In general, the choice is very large, you can experiment yourself and choose for yourself which manufacturer is better and which is worse.

Well, you can buy this equipment at any sports nutrition store. In simple sports stores, I personally often noticed that they don’t have what you need. To avoid wasting your time, find a store in your city that specializes specifically in iron sports or order online.

Brush – this is one of the most mobile and therefore fragile joints in the human body, and that is why among athletes of power sports, injuries of the carpal joints are among the five most common - injuries. Moreover, it should be borne in mind that traumas do not necessarily immediately lead to immobilization, they can also be a This can ultimately lead to chronic pain in the joint or acute injury, which will force the athlete to temporarily stop training. In this regard, it is not necessary to take measures to prevent sports injuries, in particular, use the principles of the program training process, do-zi-ro-va-nia on-load, time-min-ki and other me-to-lo-gi-ches instructions, about which we write in detail sa-li in corresponding article . But it should be borne in mind that there are “weak places” in the body, and one of such places is the wrist joint!

Is it possible to strengthen the brush with something? Can! For this purpose, special wrist bandages are used, which allow you to fix the joint and remove part of the load from it. As a rule, wrist bandages are used in such exercises, during which an axial load is placed on the wrist joint. Such exercises include: bench press, squats with a barbell, military press and others. But some athletes prefer to use them while performing deadlifts. And this might make sense! Firstly, psychological factors may be important, and secondly, since the bandages fix the hand, the nervous system produces more powerful nerves impulses, allowing the muscles to in-ner-vi-ro-vate stronger. This is due to the fact that more rigid fixation of the joint reduces the likelihood of injury, so the Golgi tendon complex allows more powerful nerve impulses to pass through -sy.

Please note that after the wrist bandage is tightened, the strap from the thumb should be removed. Firstly, it’s simply more convenient, because if you tighten the bandage well, the strap will pull back your finger, preventing you from properly compressing the barbell. Secondly, according to the rules of most federations, it is not allowed to leave the strap on the thumb at competitions. The latter, of course, does not bother everyone, but it’s still better to immediately learn how to do the management correctly, so that you don’t have to re-learn it in the future -xia. Also take into account that hand bandages come in different types, and they should be selected in accordance with the sports discipline and/or stage tre-ni-ro-voch-no-go plan .

As you can see, hand bandages are very different, and they should be chosen wisely, in accordance with the training loads. In this context, we should mention another type of sports equipment called gloves. Sometimes, by the way, in per-chat-ki in-tag-ri-ro-va-ny and hand bandages, and in case of use you-with-volume-recovery training schemes , which ha-rak-te-ri-zu-yut-sya you-pol-not-em-up-ra-n-ny with a low percentage relative to the per-so-nal-no-go ra- zo-vo-go mak-si-mu-ma, their use can be justified. Gloves help retain heat, prevent the appearance of calluses, eliminate the inconvenience of using magnesium and are a means of hygiene. But it is not recommended to use them during periods of strength or periods of peak strength, since they reduce grip strength
