About Wraps Squat Records
The wraps squat has been one of the most closely watched record categories in competitive powerlifting. The squat is the first lift contested in a powerlifting meet and sets the tone for the entire competition. Record-breaking squats require not just raw leg and hip strength, but exceptional core stability, mobility, and the mental fortitude to stand up under crushing loads.
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.
