RDX W4 Wrist Support Wraps For Weight Lifting - Pink

RDX W4 wrist wraps for weight lifting – pink

RDX W4 Wrist Support Wraps are pink wrist wraps for the gym and weight lifting. Sold as a pair, the wraps are wound around the wrist and fastened with a hook and loop closure, so the wrist area stays firmly together during heavy exercises. According to the manufacturer, the wraps are wider and longer than usual and made from a heavy-duty cotton blend. A thumb loop keeps the wrap in the right place and makes it easier to put on, while non-slip rubber loops help you keep a firmer grip. According to RDX, the W4 wrist wraps are recognised by the International Power-lifting League (IPL) and the United States Power-lifting Association (USPA).

Cotton blend and hook and loop closure

The wraps are made from a heavy-duty cotton blend that the manufacturer calls a “cotton-eglantine” material. According to RDX, the material is lightweight and breathable and stands up to frequent use. The inside of the wraps has a cushioned lining that makes them comfortable on the skin. They fasten with an adjustable Quick-EZ™ hook and loop closure, so you can tighten the wrap exactly as firmly as the exercise and your own feel require. The thumb loop helps you position the wrap evenly and keeps it in place while you lift. The wide and long wrap covers a larger part of the wrist area, so you can choose the number of turns and the tension as needed.

How to use?

Put your thumb through the loop, wind the wrap tightly and evenly around the wrist and fasten the end with the hook and loop closure. Tighten the wrap so that the wrist stays firm, but the wrap does not cut in or restrict movement too much. Between heavy sets you can open the closure and loosen the wrap. The manufacturer advises reading the instructions on the package before putting on or taking off the wraps, warming up properly before training and cooling down afterwards, and never lifting a weight beyond your limit. The manufacturer names bench presses, deadlifts and rack pulls as suitable exercises.

Sizes and care

On the manufacturer website, the W4 wraps are available in red, blue, pink and sky blue; Sportlab sells the pink version. According to RDX, with proper care the wraps should last many years. The manufacturer page gives no care instructions, so let the wraps air-dry after every workout and store them in a dry place. Before use, check that the hook and loop closure, the thumb loop and the seams are intact.
