Wraps are a joint safety thing but pretty much are only needed in power lifting or extreme levels of body building. A belt is just a bracing tool and not needed for the most part unless you are really getting up there. Not needed imo unless you are getting to the top end of advanced strength. Knee wraps are the same but I've seen dudes squat 3x bw and not use them. We're all different though and I'm not going to give someone serious sh*t for using whatever to get them through. Haha there'll be some light hearted banter about using a puss pad for squatting only 100kg though.

Good quality in this area can mean a more comfortable life in old age.

I think the main key is to not get caught up on one technique or tool, try and do everything (more than once haha) and you will be miles ahead the pack.

MBAF Legacy Donating Member 2,156 Member For: 10y 5d Posted 27/11/18 01:48 AM Posted 27/11/18 01:48 AM do 4 weeks of 1RM deadlifts. Start at 100kg. 1 rep. Increase by 10k till you cant lift it. Drop back by 5kg then increase by 5kg until you cant lift it.... should increase your 1RM in 4 weeks by 20 or 30kg atleast and your 80%max by the same amount as long everything else is right.
