just received my pair of strong sleeves in the mail super excited for leg day. this video helped a lot lol struggled to put them on but they feel great.
I recently ordered a size LARGE strong sleeves. My knee measures 15.7 inches or 40 cm. They are easy to put on over long socks or workout leggings. I do invert them and they easily slide up almost to the point where a good portion of the sleeves cover my quads. I get the most support this way and absolutely have no knee soreness. My squats have gone from 320 double to 355 double rep below parallel . I have tried Tommy Kono sleeves and strength shop USA sleeves, but by far these are more supportive and easier to put on.
Good Afternoon. When first ordering these I was confused between comfort and competition fit. To be safe, I would order the Large sleeves. As mentioned above , My measurements are 15.7 inch or 40 cm. The large sleeves are supportive enough and easy to put on and take off. I don't have problems with the sleeves because I wear them over leggings. I struggled putting these on without long socks or leggings because it pulls out my leg hairs and if your skin is sweaty they will be harder to place on. I have been Tempted to order the mediums but since I spent the 80 bucks I will roll with the large until they start wearing down, then I might try the mediums. Hope this helps you. Good luck!!
+sammy1995 alright thank you man! This really helps! I'll just go with the large since you said it's supportive. If you do ever get the mediums let me know how is it:)
No problem, you won't go wrong with the Large. The only issue or concern with the mediums would be if I couldn't pull them up high enough above the knees to support the quads. Then the medium sleeves might bunch up on your knee which will screw your squat up.
No. Usually, as happened for Chris Duffin, Ed Coan, George Leeman etc, there's an interview + a training session + tutorial. With Ed Coan the channel uploaded a video of Mark and him benching, squatting and deadliftining + Q&A and an interview. Same thing with Duffin: tutorial videos, a Deadlift workout and a Q&A. With Layne Norton and Jesse Norris this didn't happen, even though, in the video preview of the turorials made by Norton, you can clearly see him lifting big weights at Supertraining gym.
Wish this video was out a week ago, I bought a Large, but holy shit was it hard to get on(doing it wrong way-just trying to muscle it up) so, I returned it for an XL. Fuckin fuck fuck!
Stupid question about size here. You say to measure around the kneecap, according to the chart i am a 3XL, but im only about 210lb and i see Mike's comfort fit is L. Should i only worry about the knee measurements? EDIT: I'm currently cutting weight aiming for 190 so tighs are going to get even smaller.
Yes. They are pretty tight, i probably use a minute to Get each on so its not so bad :) they answer quickly on their website if you give them your measurements :)
Because i have Large sbd and i might buy strong sleeve competion fit for 90% + skwaats .. and they dont answer i ask like 2-3 times about mesure question for compresion cuff xd thx
same here... I just can't get them on. I feel like I don't have enough strength to pull them high enough on my quads? I'm female, 5,54ft, I weigh 117 pounds, my knees measure 35cm and I ordered L.... :'( I dunno what to do...
+Mapersn P (lilgerm23) i found the perfect way! You have to use a plastic bag put it around your leg and pull sleeves up over the bag then once they are on pull out the bag
ah nice, I did see a video about using a plastic bag but I didn't try it. But hearing it worked for you, I'll give it a shot :) thanks for letting me know!
Watching Duffin struggle with his was a riot!!
just received my pair of strong sleeves in the mail super excited for leg day. this video helped a lot lol struggled to put them on but they feel great.
I tried it on my 3rd leg. The head turned to black. Am i off the team now? Still provided tightness and support tho.
+Betonireisi Jorma They sell a XXXXXXXXXXXXXXS?
+Betonireisi Jorma hahaha!
+Betonireisi Jorma Hahahah DANsel in distress, pure gold

sammy1995 alright man thank you so much ill just go with the large then :) i weigh 205 pounds by the way
Omar can wear those really quickly.
Should I wear these if I have some patella issues. They’ve been popping a lot been haven’t really hurt yet
yes
when are those slingshot belts coming out i want one
do you have a video to show on how to measure your knees to get the right knee sleeves?
I'm trying to decide between these and SBDs
Same here. I'm in CANANDA. Anyone know where to pick these up?
+Nick Lamarche
Rogue recently started carrying these sleeves
+Nick Lamarche same here. did u bought em ?
Truee Seven I bought sbd sleeves. Can't complain. I'm sure the strong sleeves are very similar.
i have sbd to since march 2016, its that normal if my left sleeve seems less stiff ? i mean its less tight than the left sleeve ..
Wow mark, you put your sleeves on like I put on my jimmy cap.... Hey now
Pause @ 1:24. "Strongest" perfect positioning lol
eyyy now
camp sleeves in both the strong and black please +markbell
When are you gonna restock the medium size ones?
I always wear a large. Should've taken mark's advice though, literally cant get it over my calf....
Dude these sleeves are the shiiii! Deadass feel the support and wayyy better squat!
do they last longer like the SBD because i want to get different color from Strong sleeves
I was waiting for a traning video with Layne Norton or Jesse Norris.. When are they coming Mark? Pleaseeeee!!
They came out weeks ago
No. Usually, as happened for Chris Duffin, Ed Coan, George Leeman etc, there's an interview + a training session + tutorial.

Just got a pair, should I wear them for warmup and working sets or just working sets?
Robert Bavero both you don't want to wait for ten minutes getting your knees warm for your working sets
That's what I've been doing, thanks!
Robert Bavero no problem mine arrived yesterday and they are so hard to get on
Yeah I got them competition fit and they are a bitch, but the plastic bag trick really works well. Especially if you have a lot of hair, haha
Robert Bavero well I have the hairiest legs in my town so that's probably why lol I just looked up a video showing me how to do it
Can we expect camo sleeves?
Does anyone think that you could use this for elbow sleeves like the slingshot knee sleeves that we sometimes see Mark and the Crew where??
I got a medium after taking my measurements but they are tight af on my calfs! Idk If I should go up a size or will they get more comfortable..
are the jess vids done?
Did you guys run out of the common sizes or something? getting new ones in soon?
What are the pros and cons of using this vs wraps?
+Jostein Rekustad On the item description it says they offer the assistance of a light wrap with the convenience of a sleeve.
Ok. Thanks
could this push the knees up a bit?
my friend gave me a pair of old knee sleeves. they turned my lower legs purple after like 10 minutes lol
Hahaha thats what they do if you dont roll em down sometimes
If I put these in the dryer, will they shrink?
have u tried ?
Wish this video was out a week ago, I bought a Large, but holy shit was it hard to get on(doing it wrong way-just trying to muscle it up) so, I returned it for an XL. Fuckin fuck fuck!
was the XL alot bigger? im having same issue with my large they feel good during the squat but too tight to walk around in between set with them on
+Hannibal Holt I ended up keeping the xl but buying a large again. I've always used the large.
Sure it's tight and sucks but they help drastically.
4xl and still can’t get it over my calves. 😭😭
are these IPF approved??
Yeah, when you go the site it actually advertises "IPF approved"
Shoot I'm sorry, it's the slingshot knee sleeves that are IPF approved. I'm not sure about these.
+CamGordo Good news, they apparently just got IPF approved today!

Andy 12 Thats me btw, apperently i have a different account on my cellphone
Because i have Large sbd and i might buy strong sleeve competion fit for 90% + skwaats .. and they dont answer i ask like 2-3 times about mesure question for compresion cuff xd thx
Truee Seven Ah, gotcha. They answered me within 2 hours i think. Either i got lucky or you had some bad luck :)
So, my knee size is 35.5 cm but my calves are massive (and i heard they were harder to get on). m/l? suggestions? i am competing by the way!
Go xs
awsome buying a pair
Loved this vid 👏
Holy shit I'm sweating so much just trying to put these things on, thank god I went an extra size up from my original thought😅
Ugh im trying both ways and i cant get them on booo i think getting them on is a workout on its own lol
same here... I just can't get them on. I feel like I don't have enough strength to pull them high enough on my quads? I'm female, 5,54ft, I weigh 117 pounds, my knees measure 35cm and I ordered L.... :'( I dunno what to do...

did you get comp or comfort fit? I'm looking at XS for comp fit but you guys are scaring me. I'm 5' 114 pounds.
Helpful AF! Thanks smelly!! 👌🏽
this is tearing up my leg hair...most painful thing ever...should I shave my leg hair
I have been shaving my legs for the past 2 weeks, it is a lot better for many reasons.
I just wear tights underneath and do my best to keep them from going up
I will be getting me a pair
Represent team no calfs/severe depression
I wish I found this video earlier ....
I want red ones too :(
nvm, red ones are available now lol
i'll get one of these just to hide my shameful calves in the gym
who else getting the pink ones ;)
Tell us how to use the Sling Shot! Its awkward as fuck!
+Alex Sutton Search youtube. They've already made a video.
SBDs are the best!
