WAG Pre wrap

[wsg13]

I come from a small gym were not even everyone wears grips! I was wondering what does pre wrap do? I have been still getting rips with grips would this help?

Well, I don't use pre wrap, and don't know of anyone who does when they're on bars. I sometimes use prewrap under my athletic tape when I rip.

It's totally normal to get rips when wearing grips. I'll show people my rips and they'll say "don't you wear gloves so that doesn't happen?!". Well, yeah but it still happens! You want to get your hands tough so you won't rip as much, so I probably wouldn't use the prewrap.
