Anyone have any recommendations as far as using some knee sleeves for squats? I am curious how many of you O lifters use knee sleeves and what a good brand would be.
I am currently on the Russian back squat routine which has you back squat MWF, and then we go up to a clean max single on the front squat Tuesday, Thursday to retain stand up strength for the C&J. Knees feel fine but they seem to take a bit longer than usual to warm up so I was wondering if some sleeves would provide some help.

Rehband knee sleeves are the best in the business (IMO)

the rehbands are real good for keeping your knee warm, the strongmen suggest a size below but for weightlifting/powerlifting you should keep the same size as you are.
I find the rehbands affect pulling under in the O-lifts so I try to limit or not use them in the lifts but for squats I find they're good for stability, I had a nasty bout with patellar tendonitis so I tend to think of that alot when squatting.

The rehbands are really good for warmth and stability, I haven't done much for olympic lifts so not sure what they are like when doing those. I use them mostly for squats (back/front/box) and some strong man training and they work very well.
They are a bit pricey, but definitely worth the $, I love them. Also, the original rehband knee sleeves have been discontinued and there will be new ones that will cost over $120 per sleeve... so the $33 or whatever the price is is pretty good and I've heard from a reliable source that the originals will probably only be around for another 2 years, if thatLast edited by TrettinR; 05-22-2009 at 05:07 PM.

Thanks for the help guys.
My buddy is ordering some stuff from elitefts. I can save some money on shipping and they have some knee sleeves. Anyone know anything about them?
