Here's an idea. Instead of wasting a ton of tape every workout, maybe invest in some wrist straps that can be re-used. Environmentally friendly, more supportive than flexible tape, and I don't have to pay for them over and over, nor do I have to clean them up. They'll just be put in the lost and found every time they're found lying around the gym.

To see how other CF athletes are using these, watch these 2 videos. I know Matt Chan was able to get through the Games with them, after seriously injuring his wrists 3 weeks prior to the Games. It allowed him to compete and take 4th place, doing Cleans and Handstand Pushups, on severely sprained wrists.

Matt wore the heavy EliteFTS wraps. They also sell a more normal stiffness.

In the mean time, STRETCH and become more flexible so you can support your wrists through your mid-line and long bones and proper rack positions!
