Wristwraps for Overhead Squats

I used wristwraps for the overhead squat and was staggered by the immediate improvement in work capacity. The older we get, the more help our joints tend to need from all the wear and tear. Although I firmly believe Olympic-style weightlifting helps guard my wrists against the repetitive motion dangers of my workday, I'm now looking at how they might yet benefit from some support during training. I try to avoid wraps and supports of any kind in general, because too often folks will use them in order to achieve bad form or artificially inflate their numbers. But this is appropriate use. I had no idea my lift was being held back by wrist stress.
