About this deal

Not all neoprene is equal. We have found some neoprene to be much stiffer; some offer better compression, and some retain their elasticity longer. We’ve tested dozens of knee sleeves from some of the biggest names in the industry. We’ve used them for squatting, running, recovery, and more. Here are some of the things we considered when making our list (more below): Again, if you’re competing in a USAPL meet, you only need to use an IPF approved brand if it’s a national meet or if you’re competing in an equipped division that uses a bench shirt, squat suit, or knee wraps. Pro Tip About LiftingLarge.com When compared to other 7mm sleeves, Stoic reigns supreme in terms of firm support. I’m not entirely sure why, but I think Stoic uses a special type of neoprene that takes a long time to fully break in. The knee sleeve should be tight enough that it stays in place on the knee cap, but you don’t have to continually readjust it throughout your workout. When your knee sleeve is in place, it should feel like a gentle hug around your leg. It should not feel like it's cutting off circulation to the lower part of your leg.

Something to consider about these sleeves is that they’re more challenging to put on. I recommend starting with them inside out. Once you get them to just below your knee, flip them over your kneecap. Introducing Aeolos, the knee sleeve that will change how you work out! This sleeve is designed for better knee support, comfort, and efficiency while working out. While the PowerLix sleeves do a good job of creating warmth, they’re more breathable than others. In other words, you won’t experience the same level of heat or sweat as you do in neoprene sleeves. Knee braces are used during rehabilitation after knee injuries. They keep the knee stable to speed up recovery while preventing further damage. Leg sleeves and compression pants offer more coverage and are also appropriate during the recovery period after knee injuries. Knee braces also aid blood flow and reduce the risk of blood clots forming in the legs when your movement is minimal. Powerlifting Knee Sleeves: Frequently Asked Questions

No. The USAPL uses the same approved equipment as the IPF. If a piece of equipment is IPF approved, that means it is USAPL approved. What are the best IPF & USAPL approved belts? Powerlifters say that they like the ‘tight feeling' of knee sleeves on their knees, which gives them more confidence when they get under a heavy weight.

Manufacturers design the fabric of squat suits in a special way that guarantees an explosive push when you’re ready to get up from a squat. May be too tight for some people: The moderate level of compression offered by these sleeves may be too tight for some people. Performance: How much compression do the sleeves provide? Who are they best for? Do they cause excess sweat? For example, companies may use upper calf, knee cap, or thigh measurements to determine the appropriate size. Generally, you’ll get a better fit with knee sleeves that offer more sizes and smaller ranges. I recommend the 5mm if you’re looking for a great all-around knee sleeve, but the 7mm is excellent for additional support (e.g., heavy squats) and the 3mm is perfect for additional range of motion. Also of note, the 7mm sleeves are approved by the IPF (International Powerlifting Federation) and IWF (International Weightlifting Federation), so you can use them in competition.

USPA Approved List of Powerlifting Gear for Multi-Ply Division

The PowerLix knee sleeves are lightweight, breathable sleeves that are ideal for running, walking, and light weight training. Recommended for weightlifters who want a durable, high quality sleeve that is slightly shorter and slightly looser than SBD sleeves. This can allow for more easier mobility in lifts like the clean and jerk or snatch. The real downside though is if you are a competitive powerlifter, this knee sleeve is not approved for competition use. Women lifters who prefer to wear yoga pants at the gym will know the struggle — most sleeves don’t stay in place! The inner lining is often made from a smooth material that slides over fabrics pretty easily. So, to make matters easier, I listed the IPF and USAPL approved belts below. Since they have the same rules as the USPA, you can be 100% certain about any of the following gear.
