 never too old Member 637, 760 posts | Has anyone got any of these compression cuffs / hammy bands as designed by Mark Bell? Been having a look into them and they seem like what I need, but the sizing just seems odd. I want to use on my patella tendon below the knee and measure at 17.5" around there. The bloody compression cuffs only seem to go to 14" though? I've seen the likes of Bell/Wendler/lilliebridges/etc wearing these things on there though! and surely they cant have legs that small? Does anyone have them? what's the sizing like? Cheers | ||

I've managed to get the compression cuffs I have for my forearms (about 13" iirc) on my calves (19"). Not quite comfortable but I got there. | ||

never too old Member 637, 760 posts | Nice one lads, Cheers. I did wonder about the hammy band. Looks like it would be too big, I need something pretty snug that not going to turn my lower leg blue! Seems like theres a need for a couple of sizes between the largest cuff and smallest band IMo. | ||

Seems like theres a need for a couple of sizes between the largest cuff and smallest band IMo. yeah i think another size up on the forearm cuff or another size down on th ehammy band would be enough for me to use it around the base of my knees. its either that or use the 32" multi use wraps and just cholke them and have it looser around the area you want them on | ||

Member 5226, 180 posts SQ 310, BP 205, DL 345860.0 kgs @ 167kgs UnEq | For the guys in this thread who have bought the compression cuffs, assuming you bought them to help with tendonitis, do they help? I'm suffering awful bicep tendonitis in one arm and the other is catching up quickly and was thinking of giving these a go. | ||

 Sugdens crazy old person. Member 4936, 7288 posts SQ 270, BP 155, DL 270695.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | No I didn't, but I took estimates of that cross your bearing and drew up some isometric comprehensives on AutoCAD. I then got some weights on the steel calculator from Portland bolt.com. I'm going to make it! I took an enlargement of you figuring your 5 Feet 9" I'm hoping and most of that stock is solid. It's got to weigh in the 400 range. Could you give me some history about that cross mate? It looks like it can stand on its own. I want to be able to add weight on mine maybe thanks | ||

I have the elbow ones for this reason and use them when my tendinitis flares up. They work a treat and I would highly recommend getting some! | ||

I want to be able to add weight on mine maybe thanks Im 6'4" and the cross weighs around 200kg. It is made from steel bars welded together and yes it does stand on its own. It belongs to Mark Lawson. Im sure he is on here and could provide more detail. | ||
