Find the perfect knee sleeves for your squat
Why Use Knee Sleeves?
Knee sleeves are essential for serious lifters looking to enhance their squat performance, improve knee stability, and prevent injury. They provide compression, which increase blood flow and give warmth to the knee joint, leading to better control and confidence under heavy loads.
Key Benefits of Knee Sleeves:
Increased Stability: Keeps the knee joint supported during heavy lifts.
Enhanced Performance: Provides a rebound effect to help push through sticking points.
Increased Rebound: Helps generate extra power out of the bottom of a squat, aiding in heavier lifts.
Injury Prevention: Reduces stress on the knee joint by providing compression.
Improved Warm-Up: Keeps the knee joint warm and ready for lifting.
