Why? How do you have swelling/stroke/arrest w/o it and why it fix it?

Powerlifters use wraps to add compression to ligament/tendon/muscle insertions so that when they go to lift an inordinate amount of weight, their bodies dont literally rip apart. Idk what Azzar is talking about with the swelling/stroke/arrest stuff.

I've never had a muscle tear completely off the bone (like a biceps when deadlifting with a mixed grip), but I've had a pec tear pretty severely and I cant imagine how bad the former would hurt. I lift without wraps, belts ect, because i feel like it's cheating, but I also don't lift at the level a professional powerlifters do.
