JK vs BigRed

<p>Keen to hear how the knee sleeves go - have seen a few people at my gym using them, and another guy using knee wraps. That dude was wearing a lifting suit too - not sure the Lycra life is for me though! even if it would add 5-15% (or whatever) to my lifts</p>

<p>You won't find me on those cardio floors - level 4 is where the magic happens ha ha</p> -
<p>As far as I can work out they keep things tight and the fabric/design resists being compressed or something - so when you put it under tension at the bottom of the squat/bench etc it wants to revert to type. I know that's the deal with knee wraps - so they give you a boost at the bottom of the squat plus they keep your knees protected a bit. People wear the suits for deads so torso compression or tightness is a big help there.</p>

<p>ah, I know a couple of guys from Powerhouse. Jared and a guy I played rugby with called Pere. Both are strong as fuck - Pere is a bench machine, was ripping out around 200kg at mid 60kg bodyweight!! halfback btw</p>

Posting from the bike taking it easy...<br><br><br>
Lower back right this morning. Did a 15min ride then usual roll out plus back stretches the light leg extensions and a vibe <br><br>
Squats with knee sleeves. Few sets at 60kg. Felt good and tight until loaded up 100kg and tight as fuk right quad again on 4th rep. Called it a day then and there given back and quad not great <br><br>
ride now then more stretch and roll. <br><br>
Staying safe -
<p>good call bro, have you been rolling your legs out before squatting? </p>

<p>Dude the day I hit 250kg I'll be shouting from the rooftops. I think if the stars align it's not completely out of reach. What's another 10kg on either side after all ?</p>
