I figured we might as start this thread too!
I was originally planning on squatting with knee sleeves, but the raw division for APF allows either sleeves or wraps. So I was thinking I might buy a pair (3m). Right now I have been using THP's that are really old (they were my first wraps). They are not the best, but I would call them intermediate. But what I like about them is that I can wrap my knees on my own and still get a good pop (60-70#). I tried a pair of Titan Gold's for example, and wrapping myself they weren't as good as the old THP's. I think if someone wrapped me they would be superior, but since I squat solo in training I want to do the same thing at the meet.
So what wraps do you guys recommend for solo wrapping with great pop and stability out of the hole? I looked at Hamburgerfan's wraps at one meet. He uses EliteFTS Krait wraps. I know he solo wraps too. Those seem pretty solid, but are there any other ones you guys would recommend?

Re: Knee Wraps
No experience, but I'm curious and like learning.
Know anyone that has used the Pioneer Lilliebridge knee wraps?

Re: Knee Wraps
I have Titan Max RPM wraps. I have nothing to compare them to, but I know I don't like using them.

Re: Knee Wraps
Shit, if you get 60-70lbs wrapping yourself, don't change a thing. That's more than a lot of folks get with someone helping them.
I've only used the Pioneer knee wraps, but I do have all of them. I think the Lilliebridge wraps are the best competition wraps Matt makes. If you're looking to experiment, that's where I would start.

Re: Knee Wraps
Thanks Cody. I am debating between those and krait wraps. But I pulled out the ancient THP's and probably got 40ish lbs out of them today without using them since late 2015. I think with more practice, I will be back to 60. How are the Lilliebridge wraps for self wrapping? Can you get them pretty tight by yourself?

Re: Knee Wraps
You can definitely self wrap with them and get some really tight wraps. I can't do that with the phantoms, silver beasts (strangulator), or commanders (convicts). To me, they have just as much cast as the silver beasts but more rebound.
