Knee Sleeves

[anthrax]

Do you use them?

I used to have a pair (before they got stolen in my gym) and they helped warm the knees before lifting.
I used to take them off when I started to lift (after warmup) while some people keep them when squatting

Do you keep them on for your sets?

Yes

no real need for them. i warm up pretty good and keep my knees pretty healthy.

Towards the end of a volume phase, I've sometimes found that I'm getting wear and tear on the muscles around the knee and that the joints are clicking and cracking a little more. The sleeves seem to help a lot then. I used to use Tiger Balm and massage but the sleeves work better.

If I use them then I'll usually keep them on throughout the squatting.
