Knee sleeves or Wraps?

[BabyBeast05]

How many of you guys use knee sleeves or wraps and which do you rather? I've been using wraps lately to help keep my knees protected because they have been hurting me. I also have a torn meniscus (or so my therapist thinks, never did an MRI) so I also use them for extra stability. I have bought a few pairs of sleeves but none have fit me right. What do you guys use?

i prefer wraps cause they're heavier/give more support and they also give more rebound out of the whole and carryover to lockout.

I use both when I go heavy

wraps. NICE AND TIGHT during heavy sets, the full wrap. starting below the knee, and finishing at the same spot (a full wrap around, then back down). and on lighter sets (not lighter, but like widowmakers, and what not) i wrap for injury prevention. not too tight, and starting at the top of the knee cap, and working my way up the quad, not too high. it doesnt give you too much of a rebound that way, but it does keep the knee in a good place.

Tommy Kono bands.... I've been using those off and on for 5 years, whenever the knee acts up.
I love them, support of wraps, but more flexible.

izner wraps when I go heavy and APT's sleeves when I'm doing moderate to light weight.

I've been using Inzer wraps lately but I'm wondering if the wraps are helping or hurting my knees more. I am thinking about giving APT'S sleeves a go. Unsure if I'm going to go with the single or double ply sleeves

wraps! and they had a video on either MD or Rx about wrapping the knee , I tried the "powerlifting" way and it hurt my knee's but after watching the video tried wrapping above the knee to hold the knee cap in a more natural spot has helped out tons and i have no pain!!! hope this helps and i know someone will post that video cuz for the life of me i cant find it

Depends on how you wrap. If you go with the sleeve go with the double ply. I had the single and didn't like it. Went with double and much better!

Wasn't it PJ Braun who did the vid? I'm not sure though..
