I workout with a 200 lb heavybag. Will these be better support for my wrists AND knuckles than regular cloth wraps?

Hi there, I think probably better than cloth wraps, because there is a little bit more padding on top with some time of gel. But I take a kickboxing class and hit the bags and I wish I would have gotten a better glove with more support. There is a slightly bigger version ( I think Amazon also sells it). I will keep them though because they are good. I think if you wear regular cloth wraps, you would probably like these because they are not bulky and just offer better protection than just wraps. hope it helps

Yes they have gel in the knuckles which puts less tension in them when you punch and they are great for wrist support. They run kinda small so make sure you get a bigger size . I have small fingers and one finger unraveled the first day I wore them. So bigger size it better I think I have the small medium.

I don't work with anything that heavy - just use these for sparring - but I can say that my pair is actually wearing out unevenly. That is, there is one spot on my right hand that seems to be less full than other areas. As a result, I find I am getting irritation and stinging on that part of my knuckle. They also started leaking recently - small plastic balls filled my glove. In light of these developments, not sure I would recommend. Although it could be that I just got a bad pair.

hi danika,these will give you some more support, but i found that after using them for a bit the gel padding area broke open, and that although they covered the knuckle where your finger joins your hand, they do not protect the next knuckle out, which still got pretty beat up. i switched to everlast wrist support heavy bag gloves, which work much better for support and protection, but are still flexible enough after a bit of breaking in to be comfortable. i also got a pair of cheap dollar store stretchy winter gloves, cut off each finger about half way, and wear them under the boxing gloves. it absorbs the perspiration and keeps the boxing glove cleaner. hope this helps!kathi hi danika,these will give you some more support, but i found that after using them for a bit the gel padding area broke open, and that although they covered the knuckle where your finger joins your hand, they do not protect the next knuckle out, which still got pretty beat up. i switched to everlast wrist support heavy bag gloves, which work much better for support and protection, but are still flexible enough after a bit of breaking in to be comfortable. i also got a pair of cheap dollar store stretchy winter gloves, cut off each finger about half way, and wear them under the boxing... » Read More hi danika,these will give you some more support, but i found that after using them for a bit the gel padding area broke open, and that although they covered the knuckle where your finger joins your hand, they do not protect the next knuckle out, which still got pretty beat up. i switched to everlast wrist support heavy bag gloves, which work much better for support and protection, but are still flexible enough after a bit of breaking in to be comfortable. i also got a pair of cheap dollar store stretchy winter gloves, cut off each finger about half way, and wear them under the boxing gloves. it absorbs the perspiration and keeps the boxing glove cleaner. hope this helps!kathi « Show Less

I found that if I loosen the strap, I am able to do a better wrap on the bar with these. You should have not problems with them, check the webpage for sizing chart.

The product you are asking about is for your knees. That is why they are so long. You want to look at scheik wrist wraps. They look like this but are much smaller. Like 12"-24" in length. I bought the 12" one because it stretches. Plus, I didn't want it to bulky on my wrist. I pray this helps you in your work out! God Bless U!

Most wrist straps just assist but will not keep a solid hold. However, I use these and they are very effective and are comfortable when going heavy. Moreover, I would recommend doing forearm exercises that target the lower and upper part of the forearm to help your grip and wrist strength.

I wouldnt use wristwrap hloves for sports. They lock your wrists from moving. Will likely hinder your ability to play...like changing grips

Honestly, I believe these wraps would be to tight around the wrist to pull off bodyweight exercises without pain. A plank on the other hand may be ok because this wrap features a nice cushion wrap.

You can definitely still do pushups with the wraps on. The wraps just give extra support, they really don't impact your range of motion at all.

Hard to say. Mma gloves are rather low profile. You might not see much difference between these under wraps and the mma gloves themselves. Go to your local sporting goods store and try them on to be sure.

I'm not a good example for wraps as I don't really wear them (and I injured myself once or twice), But, I would wear wraps for heavy bag use or serious sparing. Like the other gloves out there, Alone, The integrated wrist wrap does not provide enough support for extensive pounding (in my case, for hooks).

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.

I'm 260 lbs. Your weight will not factor too much into your hands unless you have puggie hands. I have the Larger size. They are just a bit tight, but I'm still breaking them in. I like them. But already I've had one gym tell me they'd rather I use traditional hand wraps. But they're great if you normally get taped.

It depends on the use. They would be fine for sparring, but for hitting a heavy bag, no. If you are going to be using a heavy punching bag you want something that completely covers the hand. I used these for a punching bag and my knuckles got torn to shreds.

These are more for lifting weights so i recommend not, but instead use a wrist band or tape. I breakdance but wrist supports aren't very helpful, its best to just stretch the wrists before doing them.

I guess you could but they're specifically for heavy lifting in the weight room I would suggest getting some wrist wraps for boxing.

Yes You should always were straps when hitting a heavy bag the more you hit the heavy bag the harder your hit will become and the straps will help you from breaking or fracturing your Metacarpal bones (Palm bones) and wrist hope this help

They do cover your knuckles. It's important to use wraps with them if you're hitting a bag. They are great for both sexes. I've used mine in my Muay Thai class. The rest of the class bought them as well after trying them. The instructor (female) actually used them as well and rated them as her favorites

Yes you do need wraps because the gloves will cut your knuckles. I use the everlast pink wraps they come with two in a package and they're pretty afforable. I hope this helps!
