The BEST Knee Sleeves In Powerlifting | Updated Knee Sleeves Review & Comparison 

Never forget Iron Rebel first spread the rumor that Inzer wasn’t comp legal and then we’re the second company to come out with a pair of their own…

Literally in the market for my first set of knee sleeves. Appreciate the review!

Literally could not have dropped a better time, I just started looking for new sleeves today

DShel appearance! Happy to see him getting some shine with the new sleeves. Hopefully we see him back on the platform soon too 🤘🏼

Nice review, I personally have the iron rebels. I do agree that they are very tight and are uncomfortable at first, to the point they hurt. They took months of squatting 3x a week to break in but now work well and feel great throughout a squat session

Fantastic breakdown and explanation of all the knee sleeves! Helix to the moon

The video we were all waiting for! From your description (and pics), it seems the VHII sleeves are exactly the same as the Hansu powers (probably come from the same manufacturing) just with diff branding. I feel sizing is a bit all over the place for all brands. The Hansus I ordered TTS and had to size down, the A7 I ordered TTS and had to size up 😅

This was a really good video. I'm one of the few that do see knee sleeves dropping left and right and I'm just like damm do I need to upgrade but learning how in-depth it gets reassures that I'm good where I'm at for now. I would just be adjusting for the sake of it as opposed to needing it. Appreciate all the time and effort that went into this! I can only imagine the amount of time that went into this.

Video deserves a couple hundred thousand likes and views man. Very high quality stuff and helped me narrow down my picks

The Iron Rebels are definitely mislabeled on sizes, not sure why they chose to label them that way. I wear mediums in my Stoics and had to go 2XL on the Iron Rebels. The first couple of times to get them on almost made me regret using them at all. However, what I found out with any of these stiff sleeves was to if you like to wear compression pants then that makes putting these on a ton easier in training (no kidding, 10x easier to put with the use of wrist straps as well). I love them now that I have used them more, they feel great if I get them above the chunky part on my calf.

Thanks for the video. I'm planning on doing something similar but add in a few you didn't cover (Hansu, Cerberus, AUG, Pioneer) and prob not hit on the Helix or VHiI. From what I've found personally is there are 2 main shapes (Ergo & Cone) and a few outliers (A7 & Oni). Other than that what it comes down to for best sleeve is leg shape and sizing. A lot of similiarly shaped sleeves are just so different in sizing that I think people end up preferring one over the other without being properly fit. For example a comp fit for me in the Inzer is a size small, large in A7, XL in pioneer, XXL in cerberus, etc... Right now for me, based off my leg shape and sizing, I've found the XL Pioneers to be my preferred (they're also the most dense weight wise) of the sleeves I've used.

thank you so much for this review!! do you have any sense as to when the helix performance sleeves are going to be restocked?

did you size down on the TKS? the cap on the size chart for large is 15.5in and my knee joint measured 15.75 but don’t know if i should just get the xl (15.75-16.5) or the large

how would you compare the A7 Rigor mortis to the new SBD powerlifting sleeves? would the A7 100% provide more bounce off the hole as compared to SBD?

of course the helix sleeves are sold out haha. Anyone have insights on when they get restocked? Thanks

Are your wrist wraps stiff, medium or flexible? I'm thinking of buying those A7s today on Cyber Monday

my inzer sleeves are coming tuesday, im hype

If I’m a medium in the inzer sleeves, what size would I be in the titans?

Stitch on back of your TKS coming apart. How long have you had them?

What size do you wear in the titans?

Does anyone know if the helix performance ipf approved

If I were looking for a sleeve PURELY to get the most lbs out of it......would you recommend the titans over the inzers? Ive tried a few different sleeves and I feel the inzers give me the most. Haven't tried titans but am looking for a new super stiff sleeve just for the last few weeks of prep and comp day, and im undecided if I wanted to get another inzer but 2 sizes down (1 size down currently fits fine) or if I should go with titans. Again, this is purely to get the most out of them for meet day. comfort and ease of putting them on is not a concern. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Appreciate the time you took to put this together. I'm scatterbrained and might've missed it but was your SBD review on the new "powerlifting" knee sleeve or the regular one that's been out for a while? I had og SBDs from 2013 or so (had to retire them just cuz they got holes/stretched as shit now haha) but I am on the fence of how the newer ones compare these days. Much appreciated in advance, sir.

I use the iron rebel and according to the chart im a size down. They are super tight, but i honestly dont mind them. However i have no tried the new red label one so that might be less tight.

Very surprised after watching. Guess I’ll be trying the helix’s out tho next

Yah I bought 2XL in the new Iron Rebel sleeves (per the chart) and couldn’t get them on. Had to size up to 4XL to even get a pair on. I wear a L in their old knee sleeve. 🤔

I bought TKS a few weeks ago. they look promising! Stitching looks solid

Have you or know of anyone that has tried on the hansu knee sleeves?

Folded and missed the Helix drop💀 but my boy is letting me try his Titan sleeves

how long have you had those inzer sleeves? recently they changed their material so they aren’t ass stiff, they changed it about 2 months ago i think

Thoughts on Brian Shaw's sleeves from Evolution Athletics?

Are the helix The Chinese finger trap for knee sleeves lol

if i wanted to purely squeeze every single kilogram out of my squats, which one would be better? A7 rigor mortis or titan TKS?

I got some inzers recently but they always slide off they’re too big around the calf’s and can’t get all the way up the thighs 😴

what do you think of hansu power??

The titan tks were great but the seams were ripping in 8 months 2x/week frequency squats. I still squat in them even though they’re not offering near the support they were in the beginning. It sucks bc they were super easy to get on and off compared to my inzer ergo pros. I’m going to try the strength shop inferno pros next. I’d try the helix but their size chart doesn’t accommodate for anything over 16 inches. My calves are almost 17 inches. That’s the only knee sleeve company I’ve seen that doesn’t make sizes for bigger measurements than that 😂

Whre are the Oni Pro

no stoics??

titan or inzer for comp not training

Aren’t the rebels not usapl approved

i really like my strenght shop knee sleeves and also nice and cheap

Are the helix allowed in comp in powerlifting America/ipf

Very very cool. Any plans for IPF approval on the Helix?

How do all these sleeves compare to the OG rehbands?

would recommend iron rebels still, despite having to upsize a big they have a better fit than inzers if you have smaller calves

So Titan are the stiffest. Are the helix stiffer than the Inzer also?

Would you compare the new SBD sleeves to the previous A7 "stiff" cone sleeves? I use the stiff cone sleeves now in training but plan on something a little stiffer for meet day. I really like how the cone shape feel and think I'm going to stick to something more cone shaped and less hour hour glass.

No ghost strongest knee sleeves?

SBD''s are awesome.

I just got my village hidden in the iron sleeve.

Do a oni bukiya pro review

Are the Helix sleeves USAPL approved?

SBD should be charged with a crime for charging that much for their “new sleeves”. They are hot garbage.

I just saw the accident of the bodybuilder Justyn Vicky and I got terrified (neck injury). Any safety tips for going for a heavy squat pr? I appreciate your content a lot, thanks for your dedication!

I found the village hidden in iron are stiffer and better fit then the inzers.

With the A7s I had to go a size up from my true to size measurements due to being cursed with "asian calves" lol. Still really like the shape and feel overall.

For the village ones definitely size down for smaller calves. Learned this the hard way

my boy, his village sleeves ripped from the back after failing a squat 😿

Haven’t watched yet but the answer is Inzers.

ONI knee sleeves are the best! You should try it tbh.

Easy on and off? Ok Helix has me sold.

Diddi Shell

I grabbed the A7s in mediums and could not get them off without 2 others helping. Grabbed large and I’m good now. I am selling my mediums if anyone is interested

IRON VILLAGE HIDDEN!!!

Trash

Are you going to review Inzer Ergopro KONA sleeves? You mentioned you had smaller calves and these newer sleeves are a more favorable tapered design. Also, nobody else has done a review on them yet.

New SBDs are the best

No Ghost Strongest knee sleeves🥹 would have loved to see it in the review but great vid still
