Do you use hand wraps under these for heavy bag use? Like the evergel wraps or normal wraps? Thanks!

Yes. I personally use the evergel wraps because it saves you the time and hassle of having to wrap over your knuckles as well. But you could use any wraps under these technically and you should if you want maximum punch stiffness and wrist support.

Reason it is little big, give you room when you use hand wraps for support ligaments / tendons / cartilages and to prevent any hand / wrist injuries. Some people choose to workout without the hand wraps, just working out light. Please remember this, striking with your fists, use you index and middle fingers' knuckles. They are stronger than the ring and pinky fingers' knuckles, these set of knuckles or the back of your hand called metacarples will fracture (also known as boxer's fractures) safe, stay healthy, have fun. Take care.

I'd say no. I've used these and another pair similar (about to receive my third pair). Haven't needed to wrap. You will need to pay attention to what is happening with your hands, and you will be sore initially. Also make sure you get a snug fit right off the bat.

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.

When I owned one this spring (check out my review in the product section) I went to the dollar store and grabbed 2 of those Velcro style stretchy bandage wraps (not sure what they're actually called) for a $1. They resemble the wraps that you get after you donate blood, that you're supposed to keep on for a couple of hours after you donate. They're stretchy, extremely comfortable and easy to use since it basically sticks onto itself. Plus they're washable/reusable. So I'd rotate between them and the armband. I'd use one while I wash and let the armband air dry overnight. They're only a buck a piece so I got 2 in case I forgot to wash the armband I'd have a spare to use. Just put the module where you normally wear it. Cover with the wrap and you're all set. Another bonus, people don't bug you with the same question over and over "What the hell is that on your arm?" . They just assume you sprained your arm/shoulder. :) It's a cheap alternative. I couldn't get myself to pay the ridiculous price the armband was going for on the GWF website. Hope that info helps someone. Cheers.

ditto - if this version has the notches in them, you twist the bag, then hook the twisted part into the notch on the ring. It's airtight - I have the Xodus Medical Inc. version and use them also to put my air activated Hot Hands hand warmer packets in them and seal them off, so i can use them again.

Nope your knuckles will get cut and bleed make sure you use tape on your knuckles or buy the wraps. Everlast sells them! :)

I would recommend using wraps. My knuckles can definitely feel the difference. But I'm a beginner. Perhaps my knuckles aren't in prime boxing shape yet.

To be honest I do not recommend this for you. I actually stopped using mine. What I didn't like about it was the wrap part. It was to thin, it always got tangled, and never stayed flat... just to time consuming. I recommend you buy Everlast "Evergel". I got this for my wife, just like a glove w/o the wrapping procedures. It has 2 velcro for your wrist for extra security. It's still gel which is a plus, and it comes pink. If your into traditional wraps... just buy the plain heavy duty extra long wraps. That way you can form an extra padding around the knuckles. I hope I answered your questions thoroughly. To be honest I do not recommend this for you. I actually stopped using mine.

I have not used them in that way, but I can say they are the heaviest bags I have yet found, really good quality! Hope this helps!

Yes--I use them under my 16 oz gloves- these gloves do have wrist wraps attached but easier thanthe plain wrist wraps,, I love them...

I like the neoprene gloves that completely cover your hands better for a lot of bag work. I use these on the bag but we don't use the bags all the time in our class. I have to hit gently after too much bag work. They are enough support, I just find after too much bag work my knuckles get a little sore. Also, if you have large hands, order up in size. Not sure if this helps you any...:)

Hi Inquisitve, yes you can wrap these around the bar yourself. At first the second one may feel a bit awkward but after a couple tries you will master it with no problem. Please check out our How to Use Lifting Straps Vid on YT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX-Daef9fSQCheers...

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 wrap them up by myself. You just need to have the technique to wrap them up around the bar. straps don't need to be super tightly wrapped

These are supposed to be used inside a glove, but, I would never use them, because they do not offer thumb support. Title does make "Fighting Sports" glove wraps, and those are fantastic, under a glove, to replace conventional wrapping, and they do have great thumb support, which is an absolute necessity. This is my strong opinion, because I would not want anyone hurting their hand, when title, has a much better glove wrap to offer, in "Fighting Sports". All the best!!

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
