Double wrap?

[Scrap]

It could be youre wrapping your Hands wrong. Putting to much wrapping on the Palm. Its a common fault.

I wrap the wrist 2-3 times wrap the thumb then go through each finger wrap the knuckles 3-4 times "top of knuckle under knuckle "palm" then back over knuckle" wrap the thumb the other way then continue to criss-cross the rest of the wrap till it is done. The pain is not on the top of the knuckles but in the palm where the knuckle is. "Strange right"

Can you recommend a different way? Preferably a video to display. I have no problem altering the way I wrap my hands for more protection of my knuckles.

I agree with Scrap, you don't want too much bandage going over your palms.

I use the long, stretchy hand-wraps myself, but what I do differently is instead of wrapping around my palms, I fold it back and forth over my knuckles. This is held in place with a piece of bandage tape (i.e. the kind that is found in hospitals). To further secure it, I then wrap in between the fingers without putting excess bandage over my palms. Wrapping in between the fingers is more about securing the pad that rests over my knuckles so that it can not move around.

On a separate note, if you find that the wraps are coming loose around your wrists, wrap it a little lower. I have small wrists so I find that I have to go a couple of inches down the forearm so that it will stay.

Also when your hands are gloved up, you should curl your fingers around the padded bar of the glove instead of pressing them flat against your palm.

What it all comes down to is protecting your hands while allowing you to make a fist. Being able to make a good fist is perhaps the best protection against hand injuries next to throwing your punches properly.

Well I can try the folding/taping over my knuckles. What I found interesting about your post chris was the comment about the gloves. I generally put my hand in and extend my fingers all the way to the end of the glove then curl "long hands" My gloves are Warrior Pro Bag Gloves - Leather from Title Boxing white on the inner, and black on the outer. Putting my hand in the glove my way my fingers tips are under the padding of the gloves tip. If I do it your way my fingers end at the end of the inner white before reaching the black padding at the end. I do feel a noticeable difference in how it feels. "tighter fist" I won't know how it will work till I test it with my right hand at the gym tonight. I think I may have been putting my hand too deep into the glove. What do you think?

Yeah I think that might be where problem is. The bar is there for a reason, and that is curling your fingers around it to make a good solid fist.

What's worst than a bruised knuckles is a broken hand. Being able to make a good fist will help protect the bones in your hands.
