knee wraps
Lifter's leg support
Knee wraps are long elastic bandages wound tightly around the knees during heavy weightlifting, particularly squats.
The compression stores elastic energy during the descent and releases it on the way up, allowing lifters to handle heavier loads.
Unlike knee sleeves, which provide warmth and mild support, wraps are specifically for maximal lifts: He put on knee wraps for his final set.
