Fixed… the title… not the knee.
wonder if i can use this to support my knees when doing heavy squats and leg presses
Id also like to know. I really dont know why lifters wear these type of things.
Knee wraps are mainly used to spring up at the bottom of a squat; not that great for your knees but great for PBs.
Knee supports like this deal are used for stabilisation, especially if you have loose joints or a ligament injury.
I am paranoid about my knees squating.
They go pop and evetything else when i squat more than 100 kilos. I bought 2 to see if it will help at least with the popping so I dont get paranoid and stop well before my max.
just squat 99kg's…problem solved
Solved.
Ha you should hear the pops when I do my max. Everyone tells me its normalish but it drives me mad. However suppose i get the odd pop when walking so it must just be my joints.
Careful. I've got a broken knee. My knee used to go pop all the time. Twice now it has 'popped' which left marble-sized bone/knee parts floating around. I've had surgery once since the first time it happened about 8 years ago. Happened again a couple months ago. I'm currently awaiting surgery to have the current bone fragment removed.
They go "pop"? It could be that you have a over-used iliotibial band. There are exercises that you can do to get rid of this popping.
You'll need something more heavy duty for heavy squats.
Sounds like your form may be off and your putting too much pressure on your knee legiments.
My form is fine :) Different products are for different purposes - these knee braces are for walking / running and do not offer the support required for range of motion involved in squatting.
@mademoisellebd: Sorry, my reply wasn't meant for you but kasp. What do you recommend for squats? I'm chasing something for my knee.
@subywagon: No probs, thought so haha.
I prefer SBD: https://www.citystrength.com.au/products/ipf-approved-knee-s…
Also see a lot of guys powerlifting in these (careful that the price is for only one sleeve!!): http://thewodlife.com.au/collections/rehband/products/rehban…
A bit pricey but they do a good job in stabilising your knees - won't add much to your PB as knee wraps would though.
They also have an Elastoplast Adjustabler Knee Stabiliser which gives 'extra firm support' on special for $23.99 down from $46.45 if your knees are extra wrecked.
Hi,
I bought these and squated 140kg 5x5 reps.
Although they had trouble fitting around my upper thigh, they do a good job at knee stablisation. These straps, they do not totally assist with the like knee wraps would, however they give more assistance than IPF powerlifting knee sleeve.
I like how these knee wraps keep your knees nice and warm too, I definitely recommend them considering the price.
isn't E-sports what they call competitive video gaming? why would you need a knee support for that?
… this is only E-sport, not E-sports :(
For all the times you need to squat up to scream "camping noob fgt" at the LAN party.
Nah, its for those that "rekt" their knees "carrying noobs"
isn't E-sports what they call competitive video gaming? why would you need a knee support for that?
Tea bagging.
This is for pro Overwatch players who have no hands, and thus use their feet.
Do I really knee-d one? Save my money?
Either way you will have support.
Do you have a dicky knee?
Good bargain for those who kneed it.
LOL at the RRP - can't find anywhere where it sells for that much
"$10.99 is the cheapest that I could find."
you meant "LOCALLY"
as this can be bought on ebay ship from china for $3-5
These kinds of things from China are pure sh*t
Pure is good right?
Depends, is it human shit?
Will go buy one tomorrow for my sometimes dodgy left knee, thanks OP!!
Bought one a few weeks ago,very good for the money
Anybody know the quality of the product? Does that last long?
Another knee-jerk reaction impulse buy
I used to play e-sports, then I took an arrow in the knee.
I had a fully lacerated patella tendon and used one of these for awhile during rehabilitation. They are quite good, especially for the money - I used one 10x the price now, which is better, but if you don't want to spend that much, I recommend grabbing this Elastoplast one.
Yep, i have developed middle age syndrome.
And my left knee is the start of it all.
This is a really good price for this.. this kinda stuff is normally very, very expensive from chemists in aus
Just bought it and tried it on…damn how am I going to use this during sport in summer? It's so warm!
And wash with some sort of anti bacteria wash after use as it will stink.
According to the official product page, that's what its meant to do - "Provides warmth and support to weak or injured knees"
Good thing for Dicky Knee to wear…
if you wear this…you can do the Asian squat…lol
CW's RRP is a bit of a joke; a quick search reveals Amcal has it for $12.95 (down from $13.95). Having said that, it's still cheaper. Good find, OP.
I'm knee deep in bargain wonderland
This adjustable one has Velcro at the thigh and the calf to allow adjustment for different size legs, whereas the non-adjustable ones are more like a slip on tube, one size thing.
Gotcha, what about in terms of strength and support though?
I had a look at it tonight. It can be bulky.
So do open the box and check it out before paying for it.
Would you feel like it will interfere with playing sport?
I guess it depends on which sports you play.
Running should be fine.coz it seems to cover 10cm+ on top and below your kneecap - which may make you feel bulky
Material-wise should be fine
good for use whilst snowboarding?
Nothing cheap about this. Go online and check out eBay., You can buy a selection of knee and elbow supports for around $4 to $6 delivered!
I have had one of these for a while. Good for sports, running, cycling. I would recommend something different if going hiking. After a couple of hours it starts to cut into the back of my knee. I also have a tube knee support with no straps that doesn't cut in, gives a little less support and more movement.
Still a good buy, both my knees give me trouble if not supported during exercise.Got one. Thanks OP!
thats a cheap Knee.
