Benefits of Wrist Wraps

Your wrists take quite the beating when lifting weights.  

For most exercises, you will have a barbell or dumbbell placed in your hand.  Any slight deviation of the wrist either forward, back, or side-to-side, will cause additional stress at the level of the joint. 

What you want to limit as much as possible are these wrist movements under load.  

When you wear wrist wraps you create wrist stability and any movement of the wrist will be much more difficult.

For example, in the bench press, you want to ensure that the barbell sits in your palm directly over your wrist joint.  As the load gets heavier, the wrist might cock backward, which will increase the stress for the entire kinetic chain, from your wrist, elbow, and shoulder.
