knee wrap
Leg joint brace
Knee wraps are long elastic bands wound tightly around the knees during heavy weightlifting, especially squats.
They compress the joint and store elastic energy, allowing lifters to handle heavier loads: He added twenty pounds to his squat with knee wraps.
Common in powerlifting, they differ from knee sleeves, which provide lighter support without the tight binding.
