Knee sleeves

[Kakarot]

What brand do you guys wear/recommend? Do they help any? I'm wanting to start back squatting heavy but I'm worried about my knees. I've had knee problems in the past when I used to run and do cross country. I was cut 180 then now I'm 240ish. PS I'm not a pussy just don't want to fuckem up worse.

I've been happy with my Slingshot Strong series, but they're the only ones I've ever used.

SBD knee sleeves are what I have worn for years now. Never had a problem with them. Still holding strong to this day and I have at least 2 squat sessions per week and Sometimes 3-4, so they have been heavily used. These are straight and fit tight unlike other popular brands like rehband. I have heard good things about slingshot as well, just haven't needed to buy any new ones yet.

I like how the slingshots are sold in pairs. Kinda freaked a little at first I thought they were $65 each.lol

Yeah, I thought some of the other brands were cheaper until I realized it was just for one.

What about voodoo floss? You guys used em? Would they keep inflammation down ?

I use voodoo floss. Helps a ton with the knees and other body parts depending on the problem.

I use some cheap rehbands for my reconstructed knee. It clicks and pops and doesn't like squats that much, but keeps quiet under the sleeves. I doubt it gives much more power, unlike a waist band for example, but to me, it's become a staple I need when homing in on that 3-plate squat.

Thanks guys. Wife says I'm getting some slingshots for Father's day lol @Perrin Aybara how'd you do the sizing? Like one size smaller or are they pretty tight to begin with?

 

[Perrin Aybara]

I just went with the size chart for a regular fit, didn't want them so tight they were hard to put on. I got XL and they're perfect. I was mid 230's when I got them, a little under 220 now at 5'10" if that helps any. Measure around your knee and go from there.

Just bought a new pair of Nordic Lifting knee sleeves on Amazon as I needed a new pair and they are $50 for the pair. There were good reviews for them so I bought them.
