Squating kinda heavy and never wrapped my knees. I want to start but don't know how.

Start with the top of the wrap just below the knobby part just below the knee cap. Wrap the leg going upwards with each layer covering half of the layer before it. Depending on how long your wraps are, you you may have to end the wrapping with a couple of wraps around the lower quad area and tuck it in. If you end up with too much at the top, but not enough to go back down again, I would cover a little more than half of the previous layer on the way up.
Make sure to cinch down on the wrap every time you go once around the leg. And make sure both legs are done evenly.

i wanted to know, when i wrap my knees and deep squat will that not make a pressure in the goint...hmm how can i explain....hmm
well it will be as if you put something at the back of the knee joint and squat, this will add more pressure, like separating the joints? donnow how to say that in words...hope ou get me..
i always heard that wrapping the knee is better than putting aknee support[1 piece] is t5hat true?

Powrlftr, totally forgot to add that stuff about straight leg and doubling over on the first part of the wrap.
Do what Powrliftr said too.
When you store the wraps, don't wrap them tight. They will lose their elasticity. Only role them up tight just before you are ready to put them on.
If you compete in the APF, you have to get the TP500 wraps from Ernie Frantz(get the longest ones he sells). You can add about 50lbs to your lift if your back is strong enough.
