Which protective gear is necessary when exercising

Many people have such questions as to which sports protective gear are necessary for us in daily sports. For this reason, I have prepared this article for everyone, not much nonsense, let us go directly to the topic.

In strength training, the main role of wrist bracers is to be used in “bench press”, “push” and other “push” movements, the purpose is to protect the safety of our wrist. In the use of large weight to do “push” training, especially large weight bench press training, the correct wear and use of wristbands is very necessary. But whether to use wristbands varies from person to person. Wristbands themselves are a double-edged sword.

On the one hand, the use of wristbands can make the wrist safer; on the other hand, too much reliance on wristbands or small weight can also hinder the development of wrist strength. In addition, low-bar squats can cause a lot of pressure on the wrist, so in low-bar squats, the wrist brace is a must-wear protective gear (the largest use of wrist brace is low-bar squat, followed by bench press). Of course, when you play basketball fitness, its existence is indispensable.

The role of knee pads is to cushion and support the knees in various squats (back squats, front squats, weight-bearing lunge squats, etc.) training, which can greatly improve the safety factor of the knees! Knee pads are essential protective gear, especially knee pads must be worn when squatting after heavy weight. The safety of the knee must not be neglected!

Wearing protective gear in squat training from the air bar warm-up start! When it comes to your knees, you can’t be too careful! Very important protective gear, essential protective gear. Kneepads have a small amount of power and are allowed to be used in power lifting competitions (almost all).
