At What Weight, Knee Waps??

[bpm1]

so is there a specific weight that you should put on wraps as a rule of thumb or is it based on feel? ive just started working out again 7wks in and im squatting 315 for 6 reps @ my last set (i know its not that much im just taking it real slow). it doesnt feel too heavy and i dont feel alot of pressure on my knees im just older(32) and i dont want to damage my already "cartilage deficient knees". i also have to do a pretty narrow stance to avoid knee pain, i dont know if that changes the wrap situation or not, thanks in advance!

I don't know. I bought knee wraps a few weeks ago just to be on the safe side.
I'm reppin' 1,200 + on leg press and squatting 430+ on squats.

I would say anything over 8-900 lbs

I have them, but have never really used them. Maybe when I start squatting over 6/700? Not sure

i usually start wrapping at 70% of my max.

Based on how you feel like all other equipment, if you think you need em then wrap em if not then dont worry about them.

yes it is diferent for everyone, a few months ago, my knees were fckn kiling me, and i was wrapping light for 135! well with a little glucosamine the pain stoped, and i have been now squating mid 500's without wraps and been fine, use them when you need them,

... in the long run my goal is to always handle heavier weight w/o wraps. no doubt about it though if my knees are off I will wrap early... as of right now my knees are feeling great >knock on wood here< so I've been pushing the envelope a bit!

do whatever is comfortable for you, you know your body the best
