2017-12-09 20:42:43 UTC  

So you have to buy 2

2017-12-09 20:43:05 UTC  

Okay. Thanks

2017-12-09 20:48:14 UTC  

SBD

2017-12-09 20:48:19 UTC  

They're the best brand

2017-12-09 20:49:08 UTC  

But I compete in powerlifting so I was okay with the extra shekels for the quality

2017-12-09 20:49:41 UTC  

For something cheaper I can't speak to the quality of the ones provided but I'm sure our brother wouldn't steer you wrong

2017-12-09 20:53:14 UTC  

yeah i dished out a bit for some nice ones too

2017-12-09 20:53:22 UTC  

Be very careful about knee braces

2017-12-09 20:53:42 UTC  

If you use the wrong kind of brace for the issue you have, you will make it worse.

2017-12-09 20:54:08 UTC  

If you put compression on the wrong part of your knee it may increase the amount of strain on wherever it is that you're having an issue

2017-12-09 20:54:29 UTC  

I did this when I was in high school when I had meniscus problems. I bought a compression knee brace that ended up making my issue worse because it was compressing the wrong part of the knee

2017-12-09 20:55:23 UTC  

i try to just eliminate as much knee travel as possible and really focus on using hip rom

2017-12-09 20:55:31 UTC  

no knee problems now

2017-12-09 20:55:48 UTC  

plus i made my posterior chain dominant instead of quads

2017-12-09 20:55:59 UTC  

really helped

2017-12-09 20:56:42 UTC  

Nice

2017-12-09 21:25:34 UTC  

@JohnStrasser How do you know if it's straining the wrong part of the knee?

2017-12-09 21:26:02 UTC  

@Deleted User just a heads up as well I ordered 2 mediums and they shipped me a med and a large on accident

2017-12-09 21:26:16 UTC  

Might be worth going with sbd instead

2017-12-09 22:20:27 UTC  

@Deleted User buy either SBD, STrong, or Rehband knee sleeves.

2017-12-09 22:20:58 UTC  

If you buy the cheap shit, it will do a shit job and won't last very long.

2017-12-09 22:24:08 UTC  

i have rehbands, they're good quality

2017-12-09 22:35:26 UTC  

@Nick-NJ How do you know if the sleeve isn't assisting the knee in load balancing?

2017-12-09 22:41:47 UTC  

I can usually tell by how snug the fit is and by the thickness of the sleeve

2017-12-09 22:42:30 UTC  

The best sleeves are all neoprene and are labelled in terms of whether they go on the right or left knee

2017-12-09 23:01:15 UTC  

@Deleted User know what's wrong with your knee and find the right brace for your issue

2017-12-10 01:03:13 UTC  

@JohnStrasser I'm not sure what's wrong with them, they just hurt in the joint when I squat or walk up stairs etc etc

2017-12-10 01:03:25 UTC  

Been like that for a couple of years now

2017-12-10 01:03:37 UTC  

would you say the pain is directly in the middle of you knee

2017-12-10 01:03:40 UTC  

My family has a history of knee replacements

2017-12-10 01:03:42 UTC  

Yeah

2017-12-10 01:03:47 UTC  

also does jumping hurt

2017-12-10 01:03:49 UTC  

Its in the joint

2017-12-10 01:03:57 UTC  

sounds like meniscus

2017-12-10 01:03:58 UTC  

Jumping doesn't hurt that much

2017-12-10 01:04:09 UTC  

Its not a lot of pain

2017-12-10 01:04:21 UTC  

But it's noticeable, like a bruise I guess

2017-12-10 01:04:28 UTC  

depending on how serious the tear is, its not always that painful

2017-12-10 01:04:34 UTC  

could be a minor tear
