What is the maximum length allowed for wrist wraps?

The maximum length allowed for wrist wraps in powerlifting competitions is 1 meter. This standard is set to ensure a uniform application of equipment regulations and to promote fair competition among athletes. Wrist wraps are designed to provide support to the wrist during heavy lifts, and the 1-meter limitation helps to standardize the level of support available to all lifters, preventing any potential advantages that could arise from using excessively long wraps.

While there may be variations in manufacturing and individual preferences for wrist support, adhering to the 1-meter maximum ensures that all participants are following the same rules, contributing to a level playing field in competitions.
