Do they seem sturdy? That's my only concern, the stitching coming out. They still haven't answered my email about when the Strong series will be back in stock.

Yeah they seem sturdy. Nice n thick.
How big around is your knee? I was thinking of getting XL, but your knee looks bigger than mine and I know you got L. Mine is 14.9 inches around.

I got xxl. Mine are 18. Pic isn't the best to show size
Perrin Aybara

That makes more sense, I thought you had gotten them too small and wanted to get bigger ones. XL should be good for me. I don't want them so tight they're hard to get on and off.

No I may try an xl at some time but after working out they're kinda hard to get off.

You're measuring that below the knee cap where they say too, correct?
Perrin Aybara
Master
No, it was more like the center. I haven't ordered yet though, so I can measure again when I get off work.

That link I posted there's a thing in there for measuring I'll look again

Must've read it somewhere else but I think you're supposed to measure a little below the knee cap because they're tapered.

I'll see what the one on the Slingshot website says. They never did answer my email, but I guess that could be due to the holidays.

Got my SBD sleeves today. I ordered XL. My knee circumference is 42 cm. that's a tight fit according to their site. They are pretty tight but not so hard to get on and off. I probably could've gone with the XXL since I'm not looking to get a boost in my squat, just wanted the knee support but I'm gonna keep them and see how it goes. I squat again on Monday so I'll let you know.

Good deal. Mine are 38cm, so I think XL would be about right. I'm pretty sure I'm going with the Slingshot Strong sleeves, but I'm waiting to hear back from an email I sent them. Seems any size and color combination I choose it says it's not available even though it says in stock.
I just got to the gym and so far squat warm-ups are feeling okay.

Just got an email back from Slingshot, two weeks. Squats feel good so far, about to do first work set.

What's your working weight today? Awesome the knee is starting to feel better!

I did 4x4 with 355. I'm on bench now because my buddy has to leave early, then I'm going back for paused squats. 5x3 with 315 on that. Not going to lie I was nervous on every rep of squat.

Weight today was 235lbs
Five minute bicycle warm-up
Had my workout partner use a rolling pin on my leg before the squats. Was excruciating, but seems to help.
Squat warm-up
Squat 355 4x4
Touch and go bench 320 4x4
Beltless three count paused squats 315 5x3
Chin ups 3x14 (first set was clean, last two sets had a couple ugly reps)
Hammer curls 35's 3x10
Was going to do lat pull downs after chins, two more sets of hammer curls and some rear delt flyes, but I'm running late.
Fifteen minutes of stationary bicycle
Ripped my boxers pretty good on my last set of squats, was pretty funny.
Happy New Year everyone, stay safe tonight.

And about you ripping your boxers squatting, i have blown the ass out of 2 pair of shorts while squatting in the last two years lol!! Funny but embarrassing when your down in the hole and your ass is hanging out.

That's what we're all here for, to learn, share and kick it with people that have similar interests.
Happy New Year to you as well. Just a relaxing evening for me with my girlfriend and her mom. About to eat a late dinner and probably head home before too late.
Yeah, I heard the rip and was afraid it was my pants, but it was just boxers. Cracked my girl up when I was walking to the shower when I got home in my boxers.
