What do you guys think about the rubber knee sleeves that the powerhooks company sells? They are said to mostly keep the knee "warm" and thereby increasing blood flow etc. Anyone had any luck with a product like that?
Also, has anyone had consistent pain when squatting (even light weights) and found a knee wrap that really made the difference?
I've tried various wraps, neoprene sleeves etc and there's only so much they can do before it's taking the stress off the muscles as well and defeating the purpose, imo anyway. I mean, I had a knee that wasn't all the way healed from an injury and I was still trying to and continuing to increase my squat numbers, but was using every support I could- sometimes a wrap and a sleeve both! At that point I knew I was no longer getting the muscle to work and I went back to square one and have mainly been using various leg presses ever since with better muscle results, but strength is still a problem in the right knee due to pain and so forth.
