About Wraps Bench Press Records
The wraps bench press has been one of the most closely watched record categories in competitive powerlifting. The bench press is often considered the most technical of the three powerlifts. Setting a bench press record demands precise bar path, powerful chest and tricep strength, and the ability to maintain a legal pause on the chest before pressing to lockout.
Wraps-division records highlight the impact that knee wraps can have on performance. Modern competition wraps are engineered for maximum energy storage and can contribute meaningfully to a lifter's squat and total. The wraps division bridges the gap between raw and fully equipped lifting, offering a middle ground for lifters who want additional knee support without wearing a full squat suit.
