buzz said: Yes, should be fine with the XXL Rehband knee sleeves. Odin sleeves are mega stiff, so little give in them I'd say for 38cm elbows you'd need XXXL knee sleeves. The size guide indicates larger than this for the knees, but takes into account the fact that the knee is a bigger joint, and it's much easier to pull them up onto them knees. cool order placed! | |||

| after last weeks struggle with the head have decided to make more of an effort to drop excess weight. Training quality was good last week but volume was crap. Diet is a definate and cardio is likely, may even look into getting some kit to make cardio more interesting, maybe a stone or a tyre? Would be intersted in peoples sugestions on this | |||

| Think I'll get the rehbands as i generally squat raw. Guessing odins would add a bit to the lift. My knees are about 20cm around, not to sound dim but which size would be best? | |||

| Hey, planning on picking up some rehband sleeves as my knees are giving me bad times in squats. Would they be a better option than odins for helping with knee pain? | |||
