Why Use Knee Wraps for Squats?
Core Benefits of Squat Support
Squatting places immense pressure on knee joints - up to 7-8 times body weight during heavy lifts. Quality knee wraps:
- ✅ Stabilize patella movement
- ✅ Improve blood circulation
- ✅ Reduce lateral knee stress
- ✅ Prevent tendon hyperextension
