Is this good for taping wrists up for gymnastics?

Should be fine, just don't wrap around the wrist with one piece, a few longitudinal before you put a few transverse on

Yes it would. Its very sturdy and nicely sticky. It would give you the support needed

I'm not that familiar with the stress from gymnastics but for the wrist and ankle stress of tennis it is excellent.

I'm sure you can use it for that but there are definitely cheaper tools targeted for that specific use. I used this bar for practicing the technique and form of my Olympic lifts. You can use it for whatever you like though!! Good luck

I primarily use these straps for dead lifts and rows. They work great and allow me to train well beyond my hand strength. I have used them for pull downs, but never chin ups. I would imagine they would work fine as long as the bar is low enough to get them wrapped properly. If you have to jump up to the bar you won't be able to get them on unless you used a stool or chair.

it does for a co worker of mine, its the only way he can do pushups. I like this because its portable, and your adjust in mid extension if you feel discomfort. But I would test out the wrist pain issue with a couple regular dumbbells at the gym first, that way you dont spend the money if you dont have to. But it does allow your wrists to stay straight during all movement. You could always wrap your wrists too like a boxer for added support during it.

It may not have enough weight to keep from slipping depending on the type of activity. It may be fine for small area practice and stretching. It may not befirm enough for say a hand stand and various moves from that position.

It could be, but trust me you don't want to use this for crossfit. The ends are loose and it will be noisy and damaging to any plates you put on. And the grip will be awful. This is made to be a cheap curl/rack bar

You just wind it up and then rotate your wrist to keep it going. It is a great workout for the forearms and preventing carpel tunnel. It is a lot better exercise you it looks like it would be.

it's a ballet barre for work on technique, it wouldn't be suitable or safe for hanging or bar work in gymnastics

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 would recommend it for doing your yoga as I had hurt my wrist while doing palms flat on ground during yoga. Be careful as you want to avoid getting a TFCC tear/Ulnar sided wrist pain.

No not excatlly. This isnt for doing pull ups on. Dips an handstands can be done on thses

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

No, it is not meant for pull-ups or chin-ups. This bar is meant to be connected to a cable machine and used for bicep curls, tricep curls, rows, etc.

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

My 9 year old daughter uses it primarily for extra conditioning outside the gym, but she also does basic level 3 & 4 skills on it and it is stable. For higher level skills with more power or a heavier gymnast, you'd probably need to stabilize it a little more.

I bought it for my 9 year old daughter to practice her gymnastic routines. My 12 year old daughter uses it as well. It is well built as I have to admit I have been on it and I am 6' 2" and over 200 lbs. I think it is a great investment for anyone doing gymnastics or cheer.

I've been training in Sanshou for years...you don't need to wrap your hands. If you're worried about soft wrists (bent) though, they might help you to learn to keep your bones lined up properly quicker.
