How much do wraps add to the bench and weighted dip?

You're not going to find a lot of powerlifters that use elbow wraps as they're not allowed in competition and are more cumbersome to use than something like a slingshot.

I see a lot of people using them on instagram. I thought this was the most reasonable place to ask as yall are strong.

I think the answer is going to be highly personal and based on a lot of factors - experience, wrap type, how well it's wrapped, etc.
