Whats the science compression gear, sleeves and warmers? If it

Helps to keep stable joints.

Makes you look serious if you also lift heavy weights. If you don't lift heavy ass weight you look like a fucking moron.

Immensely tested and proven and useful

for what? Sources?

your tendons, muscles and ligaments expand when they warm up, and contract when they cool down. without compression, they will tend to warm up and cool down repeatedly during your workout. applying force while they are cool will damage them. so its a good idea to keep everything warm, which is what compression does.

i wear knee sleeves because my kneecaps are fucked and off center, keeps my knees from cracking and popping when i do squats.

When is the ideal time to get knee sleeves, currently squatting 3pl8 for reps, should i wait until I'm stronger?
Should i get Rehband or SBD sleeves?

get a decent pair, im using cheap tensor sleeves from safeway and two months of squatting has already made them split and frayed to shit.

How heavy are ass weights?

>>36444120
1/2/3/4 for reps

thats bullshit. heavy ass weights are weights that you struggle to lift. if it helps you, then use it. im sure there are people who think 1/2/3/4 is light weight, so dont worry about any of that.

>lifng is the only sport
>people don't wear compression gear while participating in normal exercise
>spending so much time on fit that you think lifting is the end all of exercise
Go outside more dude

My knees love my SBDs, they feel better after squatting than before. Unless you're planning on competing in a PL/WL meet that requires specific brands for equipment there's probably no need to spend a fuck ton. Any neoprene sleeve will probably do.

Yes

Ur retarded if you care about warming up your muscles. Shit makes zero difference. It makes you depend on equipment to lift heavier. Stupid.

Can you try harder? Seriously put some effort into it. It's like you have no self-respect.

It's kind of meme, just get your connective tissue to be bullet proof and you're golden.
