Wraps

Never tried sleeves

I would say wraps...you can apply more pressure by wrapping them tighter...

sleeves, you are pretty much stuck with the support it gives you.

based on my preference and opinion, i definitely agree. Sleeve might be good for wearing throughout a workout just to keep constant pressure on the knee without having to wrap and unwrap all the time, but ive never tried it.

Use wraps with heavier sets with 5 or less...it'll help push the weight and actually make you feel like the weight is lighter...
Sleeves are useless for the knees..save the sleeves for elbows..

When doing reps try not to use them because your working ligaments and form...

If you work legs 2 X's e/w the first workout is heavy and the 2nd one is reps..use the wraps for the first and 2nd one without....

I use an old Ernie Frantz suit once in awhile but pretty much stay with reps now....

knee sleeves are good for keeping the knees warm, and really reduce the soreness after a leg day. they give no support, but keeping them warm does keep them from hurting.

if u want stability, and support, get knee wraps. and use the board sponsor APT. he makes great wraps.

Sam, congratulations on setting the new world record squat last Saturday.

I totally agree with what Sam says regarding knee sleeves and wraps. When working legs, I wear knee sleeves durring my warm-up and early sets to warm the knee joint and make the tendons in the knees more elastic. Once I get up to my heavy working sets, I take them off and use wraps.
