Has Anyone Tried Knee-Sleeves in Place of Elbow Sleeves?

[myosin]

I just bought a new XL McDavid elbow sleeve and man I forgot how tight it was when I bought my other one. My old one has finally stretched a bit but sometimes I still feel/wonder if it impairs some parts of my workout by compressing the muscle too much (dumbell curls, pullups, etc.). I'm wearing the new one right just around the home trying to break it in.

Has anyone tried using a knee sleeve in place of an elbow sleeve? I am guessing it would work but was hoping for some opinions before I head back out and not waste time.

Thanks.

I just went to Sports Authority- they have the neoprene kind. Never had a problem with skin irritation.

Yes as the knee sleeves are the only thing that will fit over my elbows, I tried the elbow sleeves and they were so tight that they cut off my circulations and I couldn't train with them.

Been using knee sleeves for a couple years. Works well.

yup always wear them now. i dont think elbow sleeve would fit most of us. they are way too small.

the knee sleeves work great!

Mine were XXL from ATP. My arms are about 17.5 inches so I'm sure you could use elbow ones, but if knees fit, why not.
