Knee and Wrist Wraps for Lifting: An Idiosyncratic Approach
After many requests, Sully offers a brief introduction to how HE wraps his wrists and knees. YMMV, and we're not going to argue about it. We focus on how to actually "train" your wrap, why we use Rogue wraps, how to avoid aggravating posterior patellar pain with a wrap, how to "focus" the wrap on problem areas, and why a wrist wrap is actually a wrist splint.

10 Myths that Keep You From Getting Fit After 50
Thank you Dr. Jonathon Sullivan for your logical and critical thinking on this subject and the review of the video.
So.. at 58 I am approaching 2x BW deads as I rebuild post Covid - and if I wasn't 20lb overweight, I'd already be there. I'm still easily adding 5kg every month.. All I'm after is bone density, recreational ski-ing, cycling.. do I stick or twist?
Keep on keepin' on.
Some people just won’t ever do it, no matter how many times anyone tells them. These are people who have a different idea of what exercise is and what they will do, which is never stepping foot in a gym. Everyone else already knows the benefits because they train.
Get 1.5 grams per protein per lb body weight with organic tofu, tempeh, naked pea protein, beans, nuts, seeds. Easy. Not weak and have visible muscles.
FINALLY THE TRUTH ABOUT BARBELL STRENGTH TRAINING . WEIGHT TRAINING RULES MAN. THANKS
In Japan there's people over 80 stronger than people in their 40's in the States.
Interesting, I’ve been using compression knee sleeves, then neoprene knee sleeve over top on heavy days. The wrap might be more supportive.
Hi Sully, you mentioned that you know when a client needs knee straps. What, generally, would the symptoms be? Is the same thing true for wrist wraps, or is that mainly to avoid poor form?
Enjoyed the video, great info and clear instruction. In the spirit of constructive criticism: Chapters would be very helpful. I always appreciate the whys, but when I come back to this video in a few months, I'll likely want to jump straight to the hows. Or, if I am sharing with a friend and want to get right to the whys, this would be far easier with chapters. And a question: How effective are sleeves for joint support? I have used a combination of sleeves and elastic bands to develop better mindfulness when squatting and I found them to be beneficial. However, I also realize that could have been a strong desire for them to work, so I maybe mentally exaggerated the good and ignored the bad...
I stay far, far away from wraps, drugs and electric bikes🤣🤣🤣
I am in my 50's and the only barbell movement that has caused me consistent injury issues is the deadlift. Almost every barbell lifter I know (all over 40) complain that deadlifts cause them injury. It is only anecdotal but I am not buying that they are all doing the movement incorrectly.
@@MartinGreen932 You should walk a mile in my shoes. Almost everyone who does the deadlift without competent instruction does it incorrectly. We teach it correctly. And that's why we have 70, 80 and 90-year-olds who do the deadlift and never get hurt. Sorry I just think you're wrong on this. It's not the fault of the exercise, any more than people hurting themselves with power tools is the fault of the power tools.
This is friggn painful! Hurry dafuq up
For someone with such a seemingly tight schedule, you have enough time on your hands to leave such sh*tty comment. Shame on you.
@@teokotaiaukino7153 I bet you're very popular at parties. You sound like a very dour and serious person. I think you should go find something dour and serious to do instead of wasting your very precious time with our content. Buh-bye.
Ouanqueur...
Welcome. Harpeet! I do use wrist wraps and fortunately am doing it properly. My knees are fortunately doing fairly well. Thanks for creating!
And I added my comment to the wrong level. I need a brain wrap.
Very informative, by the way. Thank you.
I was waiting for 'That's a wrap'
D'OH! We missed that one. Bummer. :)
Hey champ.... Enjoyed every single video you made. Hope you live healthy. However, you should never ever practice karate without proper Gi... As a former judoka, I ask that you consider it. Cheers brother..👍👍
@@lastrebel666ify classical judo cannot be practiced properly without a gi. But karate can. Do some research into the Okinawan roots of karate and you'll find some ancient pictures of dudes practicing in khaki pants and wife beaters, with shoes on. There's nothing magical about a gi. In Tang Soo Do we call it a Do Bok, and I've spent hundreds if not thousands of hours practicing in one. I'm over it. It's movement, it's medicine, it's meditation, and I don't need a uniform to do it. I appreciate you chiming in and I appreciate you watching and your kind words. 🙏
I am 51. I don't want to feel beat up after one workout for two days thereafter any more. I also have a medical issue that makes me want to keep my immune system and recovery at full capacity all the time. I try less weight an 8-12 reps now. What are your thoughts on this? Thank you.
Thank you.
If you go by "feeling" you will never make it. It has to become "this is just what I do" or "this is who I am".
I would not consult with your regular GP doctor on testosterone. They know little about it. Go to a wellness clinic that specializes in TRT if you choose to go that route.
I am guessing one of Sully's biggest challenges in life has been taking the brlilliance of what goes on in his mind and conveying at a level anyone can understand. It's one thing to know it. It's another to convey it. But he does an excellent job for someone that you can tell is highly, highly intelligent.
The reason people like the hex bar is because it's easier to move more weight. I also liked to use because my lower back was weak and poor DL technique was tweaking it. Have been working on better DL technique for past year though and glad.
Are Dr attia really saying that you should never deadlift? As i understand it he doesn't do pb every time witch i think is good. And he doesn't say that you should never deadlift instead take the weight that's you are comfortable white.
It's awesome you're convincing people, especially middle to elderly. It truly is the best thing you can do for yourself.
I have utilised the wall of power pretty much since this video first aired and can say that this cue is far and away the most helpful I have come across for low bar back squat. The wall now feels so real that I am sure I feel friction burns on my backside as I come out of the hole. Your content is superior as education and entertainment.
Sorry if this is harsh, but I would rather heed the advice of a world renowned spine expert than a random UA-camr.
Sorry if this is harsh, but I'd rather have feedback from somebody with an open mind and an actual evidence-based argument than a thoughtless anonymous fanboy WHO DIDN'T EVEN WATCH THE FREAKIN' VIDEO .
The video was talking about doing deadlifts and squats into like your fifties because people who do that end up with hip replacements. If you want hip replacements keep doing it I guess
@@michaelsamchuk1819 So sorry, but you don't know what you're talking about.
Especially when it gets heavy i struggle with proper form, logical i guess. During warm up sets maintain proper technique is much more easy
What a load of horseshit at 68 doing calisthenics & light dumbbell work outs , the dangerous bit is the assholes in the gyms trying to lift what they cannot ( dropping weights )
Glad you're working out. Too bad you're both uninformed AND a jerk.
Great video. Look. I love to deadlift. Yesterday the dr said to me. Yes ok. Just monitor it. And soon they send me in for a scan. Yes. I. Have. Major back problems. Into I get a scan. / I still goin for it. Look. I feel. Good while doin them. And I feel good few days after. I really. Pushing the envelope and. Like the info. Look. You made. Great points. I look forward to look at more. Videos. And learn.
Thanks Scully
Great series Scully. Thank you
I am a BAWLA Weightlifting instructor. I had both my knees replaced 14 years ago. This stopped my weight training, and I never started again. I am 78 years old now.
Superman !
I have this strong desire to hold my breath for as many reps as I can in the bench and OH press so I can lift faster and use more weight. I picked this up from Jim Wendler. However, on OH press I find I steer getting pretty light headed by the 3 or 4th rep so I think Im going to have to back off the weight and start breathing every 1 or 2 reps.
Excellent video 👍🏻 McGill’s books are amazing and gave me fantastic knowledge of spine biomechanics to benefit my personal pursuit of suprasufficient deadlift strength as well as my clients’ His recommendations, unfortunately, have always been hard to take seriously, however.
I've been low bar squatting for a year and a half, along with the other SS lifts, and recently developed so much pain in my elbows that I can no longer effectively squat heavy (for me) weights. I'm doing shoulder and elbow rehab exercises and stretches, but I don't think it's in my best interest at 60yo to keep wrenching my shoulders and arms into the positions preferred for low bar squat. So....my new SSB should arrive today and I'm hopeful I can squat with it pain free and allow my elbows to heal.
Never did any heavy resistance training until this year. 245 bench so far trying to break 300 before my 50th in 6 months.
The older I get the more I believe people look for excuses to not lift weight. On the other hand, many at my gym are over 70, come in consistently and never make excuses. Ironically most take no medications. Hmmmmm 🤔
Excellent info Sully. It's amazing how many do not understand we have more control over our health than many think. Yes... it takes focus and effort but what a payoff!!
Love your delivery and humor Sully. But even more than that, love your passion and knowledge of strength training for masters athletes. At 55 years old, it's hard to get excited about anything regarding strength training from social media as it's almost exclusively geared toward those under 40. Thank you for your comitment to this extremely important information. 🙏🏼
Interesting debate. Of course, form and number of reps, how often you train, etc. crucial. Can deadlifts be safe if done carefully enough? Not sure, and I've never done them (low weight high reps careful squats, yes) but certainly I'd be very careful, especially if you aren't young. One other thing, there's a stunning mental component to back pain, and this has been shown in very high level controlled interventional studies, like one in 2021 by a Harvard's Michael Donino, which showed stunning effectiveness against back pain from mind body techniques. See the book, "The Way Out", by Alan Gordon to learn more.
Good grief. I just love all the armchair "experts" who think they know so much more than Dr. Sully. You all should go back to lifting nothing heavier than your fork or beer and let the Dr. do his job.
Another q, is there a good way to integrate kettlebell swings with the HLM. Or is it just dumb?
And I mean heavy swings, not tiny kbell cardio.
@@stevepace-first8617 You can do it. Good choice for light day conditioning if you tolerate them.
For someone with no great need to get anywhere fast, is there anything wrong with doing HLM more or less from the outset? I realise it is faster to do LP but what if you just don’t want to pour all your energy into this, got some responsibilities and need to be fresh. Will you still get wherever you were meant to get, even if this is the longer, scenic route?
I'm 54 - training heavy all the way !!! Recovery is a very important key !!!
Most important key
I gave up when he mentioned fibre.
Hi Dr. Sully. What is the intensity of the off-cycle pressing movement on the light day? The same as that on the medium day as you mentioned here at 9:20? Thanks.
Knee are crap, hip hurts, neck is tweaked. Gotta love it! 😂😂
Meanwhile, the intermediate programs in PPST and BP involve limit sets in the squat and deadlift every week. Is Sully saying that those two limit sets don't count as max efforts on the hips, twice a week?
I have good data if your interested
