Just got these from EliteFTS. The knee wraps are the kraits 2.5m and the wrist wraps are the Jupiter 60cm. I played around with them so far but haven’t trained yet. I’ll up date once I get em tested out.

I've actually been thinking of trying raised heel shoes since I'm switching to high bar.

These are 10.5, oh well

Yeah I was thinking the same thing but 9.5. I have thought of a lifting shoe for squat and bench but seeing your comments has me thinking twice.

So the belt squat belt is awesome. I have run into three problems that have nothing to do with the quality of the belt. Having trouble uploading pics for some reason, but here's my problems.
The place I'm doing the belt squats doesn't have room to use 45's and with the 12" loading pin I'm only able to fit six 35's for 210lbs total. I can already do that easily, so no room for progression except more reps. They sell an 18" loading pin, so I'll have to order that next. The other problem is the belt seems huge on me. I got regular size that said for lifters over 150lbs, but damn it's huge on me.

Ok had about 6 weeks on the Elite FTS Jupiter Wrist Wraps . So far they are great. Very much a step up from the Stoic 20”. They are a bit more stiff, a bit longer and overall more sturdy. So the initial use has been good.
Haven’t had any time on the knee wraps and probably won’t until I hop back on the jooze. Might do a meet with knee wraps so I’d definitely have to get some significant training in the during prep.
The SBD knee sleeves have been awesome for me and are certainly a step up from the STrong Mark Bell sleeves. I may have just got the STrong sleeves a size big. I got the SBD sleeves a size smaller and that’s very possibly where the major difference is.

You might be right on the knee sleeves too. My STrong sleeves were quite tight new but seem to stretch out some or I have lost some size.

I also experienced this and thought initially it was from washing. The SBD Sleeves seem tighter after washing and have held their size for the past 5 or 6 months. Not sure buying a size smaller in the STrong sleeves would have help this.

The Jupiter wraps have performed outstanding and exceeded my expectations. They are very versatile and the ideal length imo.
The kraits Ive only had one chance to use and they are a bit above my level at this point. They are pretty tough to self wrap( albeit Im no expert in this). Very hard wrap with a lot of stopping power but with the weights Im using I think they’re a but much. If I can continue putting weight on that bar they may prove useful at a later date

Pioneer cut belt 13mm stock belt. 1/2” staggered holes been using this sucker for only a few weeks and so far Im liking it. Very sturdy yet comfortable. Easy to crank down and the 1/2” hole space is fuckin money. Will give a long term durability report in a year or so

2.5m slingshot wraps. Picked these up as an alternative to The kraits since I’ll be self wrapping more than likely. Wraped my self several times to get a feel for them. Find the much easier to wrap and just with bw squats had no problem getting to depth. They are more stretchy and I think that gives the potential for a bit more versatility. Will post a full review once I have some time on these.

I get absolutely zero out of stopping power type wraps.

They were rock hard and I had trouble getting to depth. I feel like I got a little out of them but just couldn’t get them as tight as the slingshots or even my Inzer Z’s. I’ll be trying out the slingshots mid week. Hoping to get something out of some of these damn wraps,lol. One of the guys at my gym is will to teach me how to wrap better if I have too much trouble with it.
Anyone have a good sock recommendation?
Now that my broken knee is healed I'm back in the game.
(Pulled heavy first time today in about 2 months since I broke it... pretty sad weight, but I'll be back in no time)
Problem is I'm getting stopped on my shins.
I still have huge calcified lumps from Thai boxing and kick boxing, so I'm just tearing myself apart and getting held up on my bigger bumps.
My old shin gaurds are too thick and squishy, any recommendation?

My gym partner has tall socks with shin guards built in. Not sure what brand they are. I just wear tall socks.
Currently using these
But they're too thick and I pull the bar INTO the material.
I feel like its slowing me down put of the pocket.
Perrin Aybara
Master
Yeah, you don't want too thick or something that catches.
The knurling cuts my shins through these, but they're smooth and there's not much drag.
