I have seen some folks, myself included, with crappy wristbands on and even seen one or two lifters using ace bandages, all to help keep the pressure of the bells from killing their forearms. For those of you who have android like pain tolerance this may not be a problem but for us mere humans we need something to ease the pressure, especially when moving to heavier bells.
Thankfully a friend of mine let me use a spare set of KettleShields while were lifting at his gym. All I can say is I have been missing out. The key to it is the slim plastic inserts. This helps to displace the weight evenly over the wristband. The overall comfort during the entire set is much better. For lighter competition kettlebells I will probably continue to go with just my bare skin but as I attempt Rank 1 this year and possibly CMS next year I will definitely have these on to help transition to the heavier bells.
What better accessory to use when lifting the best competition kettlebells?
