THINK YOU DON’T NEED KNEE SLEEVES? You probably don’t. Just like you don’t need lifting shoes, straps, or half the things that make training better. Knee sleeves are about how you feel under the weight. Warm knees. Firm compression. More support. A stable, locked-in feeling when you squat. Once you feel the difference, the question changes from: “Why would I wear knee sleeves?” to: “Why was I training without them?”
