We love it in spite of sins . Sins don ' t ruin a good movie . <| sep |> I lift too . the problem with knee wraps is they hold the patella and ligamentsetc in place while the knee tries to actuate . This can be problematic because it means they aren ' t necessarily rubbing each other the right way possibly leading to damage over time as they wear at each other . This is in contrast to using things like wrist wraps on the bench which I regularly use because the point of those is literally to immobilize the wrist during the movement preventing injury specifically . Knee wraps really should not be used outside of a maxlift or competition or training for a competition scenario . And even then , their use should be limited . edit if you are going to downvote at least enlighten me as to why I am wrong
