Anybody use Elbow Sleeves?

[MR. BMJ]

Thinking about ordering some, but just wondering how many people use them?

I've never used them myself.

I used to use a neoprene one for my tendonitis. I haven't used it in a while - I always hated how it balled up at the elbow during contractions. It did help w/ keeping the irritated area warm tho.

[getjacked]

everyday i do any: pressing of any kind, rowing of any kind, bicep curls of any kind

so basically everyday except leg day, lol

[MrMuscle]

I use elbow sleeves when i train chest, shoulders or triceps.

[Scarlett]

I use them on the days I clean. :)

a. general support/injury prevention
b. tendonitis help
b. makes me look like a badass in the gym... :coolugh:

[bigdamray]

I use them for every workout.

[MR. BMJ]

Do you all use prowriststraps.com for your pads?

I might order some from there. I've been meaning to do this for awhile now too.

I use the Rehband sleeves for every workout. APT sells them now.

APT Pro Gear - Search Results (http://www.prowriststraps.com/inc/searchresults?s=Rehband&ss=Rehband&n=263651)

[bigdamray]

I use rehband as well.

[Mike Miller]

Atp pro wrist straps makes great ones, tell alan big mike sent ya...His are supportive without being bulky like a second skin..

[MR. BMJ]

Cool, i'll hit up ATP!!!:)

HELL NO!! Tell him that J.R. sent you. You'll get better service!! :tongue3:

[CJB]

Yup. Rehbands. Get the old-style blue ones if they have any kicking around. If APT doesn't have them, check jackalsgym.com. Actually, check out jackalsgym.com anyway - there's an awesome video of the Gillingham brothers lifting heavy shit that plays right as you hit the homepage of their site.

[MR. BMJ]

Are the XXL's big enough for you guys (Rehbands)?

I think my size measured at the elbow is between 34/35 cm's. I have small joints, but my arms are around 18-18.5".....haven't measured them in awhile.

[Maxx Power]

I only use them for when my elbow flares up. Other than that i think they tend to make me feel too sure of myself so i opt not to.

[Sarge]

They've been on my long list of lifting stuff I need, so no i dont' use them... but if I had them I would!

[getjacked]

i forget what size mine is ill check, i believe its an XXL, i sit on 20+ rims though so with some 18s you may want to try an XL. not sure

[GTLifter]

Rehbands from APT, I forget which sizes I wear but I measured and went off the chart. So far no problems at all with the fit.

[MR. BMJ]

I need to get 2 elbow bands and 1 for my left knee.....so they are gonna make money off me...lmao.

You can bet my ass im gonna tell them that both Mike Miller and J.R. sent me:D

^^^^^^^^^^^
Me too. I have tendonitis issues that I cannot allow to flare up.

[Mike Miller]

HELL NO!! Tell him that J.R. sent you. You'll get better service!! :tongue3:


:tongue3::tongue3:

[GTLifter]

In all honesty telling APT that Mike or J.R. sent you will probably lead to Alan sending a pack of angry, pitchfork toting midgets to your house so do the smart thing and tell him Drew sent ya.

[MR. BMJ]

I'm gonna say all three of you guys:D:lol:

Should I order over phone or just through their site? Kind of a dumb question, but thought i'd throw it out there...lol

BMJ
:bmj:

[MR. BMJ]

Done, just sent order and mentioned all three of ya:D!!!

Got 2 for the elbows and 1 knee. I wanted a XXL shirt, but they were all out:(

Thanks!

Let us know how you like them. I've been thinking of getting some, but have other stuff I need to buy first. Right now I've been wrapping my elbows with some 2 meter knee wraps when I do heavy chest, shoulders, and tris. So far wrapping them has REALLY helped.

Normally I would procrastinate on ordering stuff.....so I did it right when I got the idea, and before I changed my mind:D

I probably should have added wrist straps in with them. Those are gonna be a purchase soon too:)

Which brings me too my next question......

What is the exact wrist strap everybody orders from APT? Don't they have a bunch of different types?

If I order soon, I want to know the exact preferable one to order:)

Bro go ahead and buy some sleeves, they are well worth the investment.


I use these straps: APT Pro Gear - HEAVY Basic Lifting Straps 1-1/2" wide (http://www.prowriststraps.com/inc/sdetail/124748)

I also have a pair of the wider/longer straps that I cut down because I liked the extra width but the length was too much for my liking.

[GTLifter]

I think I'm the only Drew but there are a couple of Andrew's he sponsors. Either way it's no big deal, I appreciate you tossing my name in.

[Polski Byk]

Tommy Kono's when I press heavy Love um! ATP also puts out a heavy duty sleeve, IG uses those says he likes them aswell. Dont like the rehband, they dont ride up the tricep enough.

[GTLifter]

Polski, that's why I use a pair of knee sleeves instead of the elbow sleeves. I like the extra coverage they seem to offer.

[getjacked]

i also dont like rehband elbow sleeves. too small.

[Tren Green]

I have rehband elbow and knee sleeves. I like using both of them and I used them for squats and bench today.

[Curious George]

I use em. I have tendonitis pretty bad and they keep the area tight and warm.

[RagingBull666]

I use the heavyweight lifting straps. I'm more than likely the only J.R. but PM me if you need my last name. SS, RB
