    Anyone purchased wraps from prowriststraps.com

    Hi guys. Just wondering if anyone has purchased wraps from Apt/prowriststraps.com

    I'm looking to purchase wrist and knee wraps - here is my question. On the page of the wraps I'd like to purchase it doesn't say if they're sold in a set or sold individually. It says wrapS - Which makes me think they're sold as a set. But doesn't actually say that they are. So in the quantity box I don't know weather to put 1 or 2... I don't know what the point of having 1 wrap would be!

    Also is anyone on here using either of these wraps? If so do you recommend them?

    I've emailed them twice but no response, and I googled it but couldn't find the answer. I'd call them but I'm in Australia and when US shops are open I'm sleeeeeeeeeeeping.

    Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Mick.

    I got a pair as well. Great product.
    A child does not learn to squat from the top down. In other words, he does not suddenly make a conscious decision one day to squat. Actually, he is squatting one day and make the conscious decision to stand. Squatting precedes standing in the developmental sequence. This is the way a child's brain learns to use the body as the child develops movement patterns. Therefore, a child is probably crawling, rocks back into a squatting position with the back completely relaxed and the hips completely flexed, and stands when he has enough hip strength. This approach makes a lot of sense and can be applied to relearning the deep squat movement if it is lost. -Gray Cook

    They are sold in pairs, and APT has great products / service.

    The Reapers are a heavy duty wrap and the mamba's will be more comfortable. Both will give you some good carryvoer (I have wrist wraps in both materials).

    Alan (the owner) is not always reliable on email but they have quick shipping and everything comes out USPS which is usually the cheapest method, although I am not sure how international shipping works. APT does business in a lot of other countries so I am sure that they have a good process for international shipping as well.

    If you have questions on any products just shoot me a PM - I have been using APT gear for almost 10 years now and have tried just about all of the wraps/straps/sleeves in their product line.

    The 24" Strangulators are a great training wrap, while the 36" Convicts are just nasty for heavy shirted benching or competing.

    Thanks for that guys. I don't bench real heavy but it hurts my wrists quiet a bit. I tried to have them on different angles but didn't really help.

    Anyway order 11 items for me and my training partner from prowriststraps.com - postage was $125 usd, about 11.35/item shipped. Still works out pretty cheap on the total order.
