Whatever anyone does, just don't let Eric wrap your knees. I've seen the aftermath. Eric could wrap toilet paper around someone's knees and give them 50-100 lbs... Lol
Dying to try both of those. Just broke down and bought knee sleeves for the first time. Love them! Gonna look into wraps after taxes come back.
Mark Bell has straight up changed the face of powerlifting. The stuff he keeps coming out with is improving the sport by leaps and bounds. The hip circle is my favorite thing in my gym bag. The slingshot and elbow sleeves are tied for second.

I've been training for a while now and I'm looking to start using knees wraps when I'm training heavy and when I'm getting ready for a competition. I'm squatting in the mid 500s raw and hoping to get into the 600s. I've done some searching in the forum and haven't found exactly what I'm looking for. I Know there are a lot of different knee wraps out there and I don't want to start with something too heavy. I'm looking for a real good wrap with a little stopping power but mostly rebound to start with. Thank you for your help.
I know this is an older thread but for my 2cents with knee wraps. Ive been using strangulators and squatted 705 in them at my first meet. The issue I have with them is that they get to bunched behind the knee and depth becomes an issue, I always end up an inch or 2 high and cant get my self to go lower. Recently I tried a buddy's Slingshot Wraps (Red ones) and squatted a quick to depth 605x3 in them while the strangulators were all high. I got home and instantly ordered a pair of Slingshots.

I haven't had the chance to use the Record Breakers, but I'm ordering them soon.
I have own many wraps.

I have had my hands on some others and notice many brands have very close if not the same wraps, just different colors.
Ok with all the ones I have tried so far. I always come back to my Strangulators. I've never had issues hitting depth with them, specially when I'm shooting for Heavy singles, PR's or in Meets. The APT KWB6 Black Thin Red Heavy Wraps have made it into my rotations lately. They are a thicker wrap that stretch well. I can wrap around twice as many times then my Strangulators. I just haven't pushed them to hard yet.
