To wrap or sleeve, that is the question

Just curious if any of you prefer the wraps or sleeves on the knees? Been doing heavier squat work and my knees are bad to begin with, so looking for some support. Just curious if anyone has an opinion on what they have found has worked better, wraps or sleeves?
 
I use sleeves. They work way better than wraps and keep them warm. The key is to get proper fitting sleeves. Rogue has great sleeves and directions for fitting. I also have a pair of MAVA. 7mm sleeves that are awesome too. Plus I don’t spend 5 minutes wrapping and unwrapping my knees now like back in the old days…😂
 
Sleeves all the way. SBD’s, EFS, any of them. They’ll help keep you tight where you need to be tight, help keep the joint warm, give a little rebound out of the bottom, plus you don’t have to waste all the energy of wrapping your knees. I see guys at the gym wrap their knees half ass, and I think to myself “that’s doing nothing”. If you’re doing it right, you’ll be out of breath when you’re done and your feet will be numb and legs will be purple below the knee… no sense wasting all that energy when a sleeve will benefit you more
 
I say sleeves all day. I use rehband 7mm sleeves for heavy leg days. And hook grip sleeves for just regular gym days. Both my knees are bad as well and the sleeves just keep them warm better than wraps.
 
Do sleeves ever stretch out?
I went with wraps because I thought that’s what would happen…
10 minutes to wrap a knee, no kidding on that point.
 
I wash mine and air dry and I’ve had the same pair for a couple years now with no problems.

I’ve had my Rogues for about 3 years I guess. And the MAVA for maybe 5 or 6. Both are pretty tight. Only thing is you got to wash them on a regular basis unless you want to smell like dirty socks and sweat when you put them on… 😂. I just machine washable in gentle Cold water no soap and let them air dry
 
I’ve had my EFS heavy sleeves for almost 15 years, they’re still tight. I have a training pair (xxl) and a competition pair (xl). I used SBD’s for about a year in there too when I was still competing, never had Any issue with them stretching out!
