I wear them for injury prevention, not as young as used to be...

Your athletes’ knees shouldn’t be knee caving right? Isn’t that bad for the knees?

[afhostie]

Didn't really answer the question

I use SBD knee sleeves and they add like 3% but if I get a size smaller that would be near impossible to take on and off I would get a larger boost in weight. But I love my knee sleeves and has prevented knee pain and makes squatting more comfortable. Squats were always good for me before knee sleeves, but after I got them I loved squat even more.

The thing I like the most about the knee sleeve is the feeling you get when you take it off. Relief

If I don't put the knee sleeves on before my warm-ups they ain't getting on when I'm sweating like a dog lol

I took a pause in squatting 240lbs and one knee bent a bit 🥸 now on square 1 after rehab exercises. Totally gonna try these.

I dont feel any boost from knee sleeves. But with knee wraps it does give you that boost.

What about knee sleeves for wrestling?

[LukeMosse]

Apparently they apply shearing stress to the knee by bunching material behind the joint, they change the biomechanics of the knee in a bad way, and they mask pain so that you can continue to damage the knee. So no they're not a good idea! What's the point lifting the weight anyway if you can't do it unassisted? It's just a number. What do you want the strength and fitness or the number?

Funny, that's what I have been doing, saving them for my heavy sets when my joints are warm and stretched.👍

I use them starting with empty bar. I have knee OA and the compression and warmth helps reduce the pain. By not wearing them for your warm ups you are missing out on the warm up benefits. I don't think they add much to the lifts.

I've been using sleeves for 15 years at least. Couldn't squat heavy without great knee sleeves and haven't found any better than SBD's to this point.

im squatting little over 320lbs for reps right now, should i invest in these ? ill be 28 this year but i havent had any knee pain so far.

[jasonofassynt]

What was the answer to the question? Do knee sleeves actually help your knees? I couldn't see a follow up video.

I used to squat 285kg but haven't trained in 7 years. Getting back into it slowly at 41 but my knees are sore hitting 220kg. I thought knee support might help.

[SimonGhostRileyTF]

The 5% increase is nice but the disappearing knee pain is fantastic

[ecomchase]

What is the link to the knee sleeves you are wearing?

[pizzaofataco]

I think I tore the ligaments in my left knee while doing bjj (didn’t get it checked) and it’s been like 5 years, is it too late to get it fixed?
I can never comfortably squat more than 145 without it bothering me

[dezyandco]

Do you recommend a closed or open patella knee sleeves?
