Former powerlifter .... got the scars to prove it lol... love the sport one of the best to get into the adrenline will get you addicted to the sport quick...well at least at my school it did. For the few of us girls crazy enough to do it... I wasn't as strong as my friend who was state powerlifting champ for our district 3 yrs and bombed out at state her senior yr. I could squat 275 and deadlift 250 and bench my measly very might I add 125 my arms were just not very strong what can I say lol. Was red lighted for bench to many times to count!
Never lifted with wraps except for sometimes wrist wraps. Tried knee wraps on my first meet and fell out from under the weight with over 200 lbs or the bar! Painful things! But I did squat 275 on a sprained ankle with no wrap just tennie shoes!
