Originally posted by stresterthe wraps are used to stabilize the knee, especially during squats ... and you stated earlier ...
so anyone who is using wraps to stabilize their knee from the pressure it is put under during squats is doing the exercise incorrectly??

lol, attempting to spread your wealth of knowledge to correcting strester? Some how I don't believe that anyone here would take YOUR word over his on much of anything. Knee wraps used to cause spring out of the hole? That's rich. Actually knee wraps serve the same purpose as the patellar bands that runners use when they have stabilization problems in the knees. Higher weight and greater angles of flexion will create more force on the knees and therefore require a stabilizing force. Knee wraps also assist in keeping the joints warm, thus keeping the sinovial fluid lubricating the joint and preventing problems. Amazing that you "lift with top lifters" but lack such knowledge.

These = Greater Knee Stress
These = stablization

Originally posted by SpartanI said it was actually a less strenuous/effective device. Locks in a body part, that's funny. True, ROM is limited, but that's it's design. You don't work as hard on a smith machine as you would on a free weight design. Also, how can a device as you say "lock in a body part" yet be "causing an imbalance of stabilization"? The weights DONT MOVE. THERE IS NOTHING TO STABILIZE. A smith machine gives you a set path of resistance which DECREASES the need to HAVE the stabilizating muscles to support.
REREAD FTW:
"The smith design makes the exercise more limited and actually easier on the body. It doesn't incorperate all the additional muscles a free weight exercise would use to the same extents."
Don't see where it says it's better.
Anti-smith and anti-legpress = just another pathetic bandwagon.
