knee wraps

Knee wraps are elastic bands used in weightlifting and strength training to provide support and stability to the knees during heavy lifting, particularly when performing squats. They help increase blood flow to the muscles, potentially improving performance and reducing the risk of injury. By compressing the knee joint, wraps allow for better force transfer and can enhance lifting capability. While beneficial for experienced lifters, it's important to use them correctly and not rely on them excessively, as proper technique and strength should be prioritized for overall knee health.
