Can these wrist wraps be used for heavy bag and speed bag workouts? Thanks.

I workout on speed bags and heavy bags. I wouldn't use them for either one not unless you want a lot of skin missing from your knuckles. Good support for wrists but no protection on the knuckles when hitting the bag.

For speed bag I would say yes but certainly not for heavy bag workouts. It doesnt' prevent your wrist from moving back and forward. It is just a stabilizer not compareable to boxing wraps which are really keeping your wrist in the alignment with your forearm so you don't sprain it. I do calisthenic workout and a lot of plyometric push ups and the are a really goord support for these kind of workouts...hope that helped

I haven't used them for that, but they would definitely help provide extra wrist support.

I think it would have plenty of support, but if they are too tight I find they cut circulation off to your hands. I use them for heavy dumbells and unwrap them when I am done a set for that reason. You may consider the shorter ones which would not be as tight

These wrist wraps are designed for wrist protection when hitting a heavy bag the knuckles & thumb must also be protected, i do not recommend using these wraps for that purpose.

They might be a little big , after a couple of washes some of the material was fraying. I switched and now use Meister Gel-Padded ProWrap Hand Wrap Gloves ( cheaper and alot better fit and good padding and easier to wrap/take off. I also use Adidas Super Inner Gloves ( which I found on title boxing's website) both are great alternatives to traditional hand wraps for use with aerobic kick boxing and boxing .

They are good as wrist weights if you don't have small wrists. I have small wrists and they slip right off if I am not careful, but it I still use them anyways.

Honestly they didn't work for me. I used 3 wraps... I ended up doing it the hard way by working out. Good luck.

I don't feel that they slip much and they don't cover a substantial part of your wrist, so I would think it should work. I love these gloves! I want to get some heavier ones now.

I don't see why not. I use them to kick the heavy bag(Muay Thai). I hope You get better.

I dont see why not. I do have one complaint about these gloves though. The straps for the wrist support are of the non stretch material. I feel better support would be there if it was able to snug up against the entire wrist, rather than the widest part of the wrist.

I wouldn't recommend it. The whole point of these lighter, fingerless gloves is so that they can be used for mixed martial arts, where you may have to grip/grapple with your opponent. I would recommend going for the heaviest boxing gloves that fit you (I wear and would recommend 16 oz gloves, but some some women/smaller people/people with smaller hands will wear 12 or 14 oz gloves). These a) give you more protection and allow you to hit the bag harder without fear of injury and b) give you a better workout. Think of it like wearing a weighted vest while working out-one that protects you as well (they do actually sell weighted hand wraps and even weighted shinguards for kickboxing). If you're interested in actually fighting (which is usually done with smaller gloves), your punches will be that much more powerful/quicker if you train with heavier gloves.

The combo includes a pair of Wrist wraps and a pair of Weightlifting Straps. The wrist wraps support your wrists, by wrapping the tendons and bones in place you will reduce the chance of injury and maintain great form. The wrist wraps are used in high intensity training and pressing. I wear mine during CrossFit to reduce the stress on my wrists, most pressing variations and kettlebells. The lifting straps are designed to loop around your wrist and wrap around the bar, they assist your grip so that you can hold onto heavier weights without it slipping out of your hands. Both are premium quality products and will not let you down.

yes - i use them for that also! added bonus use of the straps - my trainer showed me how to use this and since there are three different bands - you can work up to the thickest band for more resistance.

Yes. These personally worked better for me than the It Works wraps. Everybody's body works differently but I would definitely recommend these to people to try first!

I don't think so, because they have weights in the palms and it would probably be difficult to hold onto the dumbbells. These are really nice, though and stay on really well, unlike the ones where you slip only two fingers and thumb in and they flap about. These are a cut-off glove with the weights, so they really stay on securely. I love them!

I think these Gel-Hand Wraps are more for Boxing/Muay Thai/Kick Boxing...Not sure if they'll fit inside MMA gloves. I've tried these inside Everlast Protec 12 Oz (Large) and Hayabusa Tokushu 16 Oz...they suit me fine so far for both of the boxing gloves i mentioned. Hope that helps.

I only use then for a few minutes, 3 times a week. I do not use wraps. I do however have on weight lifting gloves when I wear them. Not because they are needed but in order to make a smooth transition to me next exercise. I hope this tidbit of info helps.

I think these straps work well for any kind of pulling exercise/movement because of the added grip. I use to use gloves when lifting but I prefer straps by far. Hope this helped

The girl I got these for was very slightly taller and heavier than that, with medium(?) sized hands. These worked well. Since you're mentioning wraps, then I should let you know that in the research phase before buying, I read an informative post that recommended the 14oz pair if a lot of bag work and intensive training is going to be done. Hope this helps!

Wraps are always good practice for a couple of reasons; hygiene (esp if you are using communal pads in between boxing) as you can wash them easily (and the gloves are a little harder to clean) and a bit of extra padding can sometimes help when you are hitting the bag hard ;)
