Sharp Wrist Pain Injury from hitting Heavy Bag without Wrapps

[DaxxKahn]

Is there somewhere (on the Internet) that shows wrapping correctly with less than 8' of wrap? (Since you said that even 8' was too much.)

Are you opposed to just the length, or do you also disagree with any other (besides padding the knuckles) reason I gave for wrapping? (i.e., hold bones together, lock the thumb in, stiffen the wrist)

To be clear: I really want your opinion (as opposed to just arguing with you.)

[Frankly, I doubt that my hands would be damaged by not wrapping at all, but then my hands are massive. I do however wrap carefully.]

As I noted and as I stated I see guys using wraps that are 8 feet long or longer but it is not nesseccary...That mean just because they use them does not mean they need all 8 feet...This is going by Mexican handwraps which is the standard that most people use in a gym mainly because it is easier to wrap by themselves and come in standard sizes...The 8 feet is given for adjustments that are needed EG some guys need more on the sides or more on the upper part of the wrist....I can not name how many times I have seen guys in the gym become confused after 2 layers because they can not figureout what to do with all the extra wrap as it just gets bigger...If there was a problem..EG weak wrist, issues on the outer hand etc where extra enforcement was needed then the extra wrap would be something important...

I have seen wraps come in 180, 170, and 160 inches for adults in the usual hook and loop style.....In fact now many guys are starting to favor the semi elastic ones that are much shorter...The mans size are like standard Junior's at 120"...They do not have excessive give to them...Enough to make them snug....That is all you need

If your hands are so big that standard wraps can not make 2 complete trips around them I would like to see a picture of them because George Chuvalo has about the biggest hands I have seen on an average sized man and those were massive.....I would never suggest hitting a heavy bag or sparring without wrapped hands it is looking for an injury....


Not to be a smart ass or sound like a know it all but if I would need then internet to show how to wrap hands proper then my opinion or knowledge of the sport is limited to the point where I should not give advice at all......Thye link I posted for the guy who began this thread was just so he had something he could follow because it seems from what he posted he was just beginning and did not have to much advicxe being thrown his way where he was working out...Plus something he could use top practice at home...

Also keep in mind wrapping ypour hands for gym time and for fights are 2 different things.....Gauze length and wraps are 2 different things as well

Christian....go see a doctor. Do not fool around with someone who is not familiar with sports injuries.

The chiropracter may have relocated something out of place, but what put it that way in the first place? Whether it was weakness/tightness in the forearm muscles, incorrect form or the lack of wraps it needs to be addressed and if it isn't addressed then why would the problem not return? An old path never goes anywhere new, there are no quick fixes.

Adam correct, theres something wrong down the line of movement.

Tighten your wraps from the side of your wrist closest to your body
