Wraps, on the other hand, are really for joint protection. I have a bad right wrist from too many years of writing hard, grading papers, etc. So I use them anytime my wrists are supporting a lot of weight.

And clearly I accomplished that

as far as the straps I agree in their use for max lifts or reps in low ranges. I wasn't really familiar with your lifting abilities.

I don't believe in using them if you are using it to hide a weakness. That is the best way I can describe it.
