Praise Inzer 🙏 for putting SBD and the whole game on blast for pimping out subpar neoprene for the past decade. If Inzer didn't have such shit marketing they would be the only game in town with the new sleeve revolution.
@Kenrickwong
@Kenrickwong Год назад
I don’t think it was ever inzer’s intention to dominate the sleeve market, they are a very small business with very limited supply, they simply won’t be able to handle the demand if everyone at the gym wanted a pair. They also don’t focus on marketing because they only ever wanted to sell to competitors and serious lifters, I guess in a way you could say they are gatekeeping. But most important, most lifter won’t be able to handle the discomfort that comes with these sleeves anyways
@snorlaxcom
@snorlaxcom Год назад
@@Kenrickwong That's true. Inzer has always been a smaller operation compared to SBD's global efforts. However, the gateway idea I don't agree with. It's more like their business model has horrible scaling. They didn't need to go for IPF approval on their equipment, so that move doesn't coincide if they had no interest in catering to an international market.

@Nosleepjustpre
@Nosleepjustpre Год назад
@@nicoclansolcamp1223 I got them and it’s an insane difference compared to non-stiff knee sleeves. The only thing with the A7 is the sizing, I followed the size chart and spoke to a representative online and they recommended that I ordered an XL based on the size chart so I did, however, the XL felt too big and when I was wearing them at home squatting I got a gap between my leg and the knee sleeve at the bottom and they felt as if I was to work out in them they would keep sliding. So I ordered an L and they are tight but way better than the XL with no space at the bottom and felt secure. I'd say they are defiantly worth it, the stiffness makes squatting a lot easier to a point where it feels as if it’s cheating. A few of my friends said that these new types of stiff sleeves were gaming changing and now I believe them.

Late to this video, but I’ve had these sleeves for just over 3 months now, and here are some thoughts: - They’re stiff. Very stiff. So stiff to the point that these dug into the back of my knee joint and there were scabs on it at one point. Make sure you give them time to break in. - Size up if you have big calves. I used small SBD sleeves before but for these I had to buy large and I still need to use a bin liner to make it easier to take off. The first time I wore them they were stuck on my calves for an hour when I tried to take them off. - You might encounter quality issues. My mates had no issues in theirs but my pair (Red Dawn rigor mortis) had lettering falling off on one side after 2 washes and a bit of threading has decided to come off on the other. The inner lining has also started to sag a bit like an old man’s ballsack. Overall, I’m happy with how these sleeves feel right now but I hope they improve on quality.

Looking for A7 rigor mortis. my measurements are: knee 15.4 inch, quad 20 inch, calf 16.9 inch. Should I take 2XL so all the measurements would fit in the 2XL category (knee low-end; calf and quad high-end), or take XL where only knee fits the category of XL? with SBD I've always worn size M with the same leg measurements.

@Morris.Andrew 7 месяцев назад
Can you just answer a dimple question, because of the stiffness and support of the A7's how much in poundage do you feel like you get out of them compared to your regular sleeve. I've been told the A7's are so stiff that it feels like a light self knee wrap and some people I have met who use them say they believe they can get upwards of 50lbs out of theirs. So i just want to know if you find these claims accurate to the sleeves. I wish you would have covered how much poundage you feel like you get out of them.
@Fc-cb3tn
@Fc-cb3tn 6 месяцев назад
Hey bro, just saw your comment. I have a pair of A7 rigor mortis sleeves for three months now. In terms of stiffness these things are a different league compared to SBDs which I used before. I weigh 74kg and I had to limp around the gym like I have hemorrhoids with the A7s on. The only way for me to walk normally is to roll them down slightly. I even had slight difficulty hitting my usual depth (ass to grass) when I warmup with just the bar. As for how supportive they are, I once tested them by placing plates on them, easily held up the 5kg plate but can’t remember for the 10kg. I don’t think this can directly translate to how much more you can lift while wearing them but it should give you a rough idea.

@Fc-cb3tn thank you brother, I tried them prior to this and it felt like I could do about 30-50lbs more over my max I did in my torn pair of gangsta sleeves.
