I Just Recently Purchased a Heavy Bag and I’ve Started Workouts on It Yesterday. Should I Wrap My Hands Before Putting Them Inside My Gloves?
Yes, you should wrap your hands before putting them inside your gloves when using a heavy bag. Hand wraps provide several benefits, including:
- Protection: Wraps help to protect your knuckles, joints, and wrists from impact.
- Support: They provide additional support to your hands and wrists, reducing the risk of injuries.
- Moisture wicking: Wraps absorb sweat, keeping your hands dry and comfortable inside your gloves.
- Improved grip: Wraps can improve your grip on the heavy bag, allowing you to focus on your technique rather than worrying about your hands slipping.
How to Wrap Your Hands:
- Start by placing the end of the wrap around your thumb and wrapping it tightly around your wrist.
- Continue wrapping the wrap around your hand, crisscrossing it over your knuckles and palm.
- Bring the wrap back up to your wrist and tuck the end under the previous layer.
- Secure the wrap with a few loops around your wrist.
