Thanks for the review. I get asked how the Iron Rebel Sleeves compare to the Inzer. Since I've never used them, it's hard for me to give an answer.
My poverty squat prefers the IR. Thanks for the discount code!
Took awhile to get used to Inzer pros! Definitely better suited for heavy weights/lower reps
Yeah I just don’t see enough benefit to wear them daily!
This is the exact video I was looking for! Couldn’t have come at a more convenient time as I have a Powerlifting Meet coming up in April and am in the market for new Sleeves because mine are over 4 years old now. Thank you for all that you do Brandon
Good luck, let me know if you have other questions!
I didnt size my inzer down. It was painful to wear at first, but it is not that stiff after breaking in.
Wish that were the case for me!
Double down chicken legs!
I don't compete... But my stoic really help with my bad knees keeping the thing warm and help with the movement. It also helped a lot building back the strength there after I got hurt. For now, I don't think I need to go in the stiffer range, but if I compete one day, it might change...!
I compete and I still don't think I need to go to the stiffer sleeves 😅
You think the Inzer hurts try knee wraps. Those are absolutely miserable if you are doing it right.
#facts
At least with wraps you can undo them between sets.
@@BasementBrandon fair enough. Wraps are a ton of fun but take some time to really learn. And if you're like me and have suspect knees they help with stability.
@@Pler1978 people are speculating the “v2” will use the same thickness neoprene as the Inzers. Should come out in 2023.
Honestly after you break in the Inzers its actually pretty comfortable. Took me about 4 squat sessions to make them feel really good. Love them over SBD and i had been rocking SBD for years
Actually it's not a problem just send both here and I will check it out for you
Lol
Glad I seen this video ! Was really waiting for you to review the Iron Rebels !
Thanks for taking a look!
Just bought PR sleeves, added 25lbs to my squat
Nice.
Looking to get a pair of the Iron Rebel sleeves. I see in the video you're measuring around your knee. On their website it suggests you measure around the calf. Did you also take that into consideration? I just want to make sure I get the right size the first go around.
Take the bigger measurement. My knee is bigger than my calf.
I am a bit confused. In your description you have Iron Rebel Performance knee sleeves (which are like 70 USD), but in the video you are actually using Iron Rebel PR ones. How much of a difference is there between the actual Performance and PR ones? I am guessing the PR ones are much more supportive and stiffer?
Sorry about that, updated the title accordingly. The PR ones (the ones shown) are the newer stiffer material.
I own the Tuff Wraps Competition 7mm knee sleeves. They are pretty good for the price, IMO.
nice!
Solid info! My next vid is on my new SBD sleeves and I’ve learned the importance of getting the size right, when choosing sleeves. It can be quite difficult however, when you’re on the border between sizes, like I often am. Add to that, the confusing info from MFRs sites, and it can be hit or miss. Glad you found some that provide proper support while being more comfortable (expecting some break in to help with circulation 😂).
Interested to hear your thoughts. I haven’t bought a pair of theirs in like 8 years, so wonder how the new ones hold up!
Great review, however, you measured around your knee yet but the IR web site says to mearsure around your calf. Are your calf and knee the same circumference?
Calf is less 🤪 Measure both and use the bigger measurement!
Back in the basement. I just dropped some coin on a set of E26's 6mm knee,and elbow sleeves good all around product.
Not familiar with them!
@@BasementBrandon element 26
Just got the Iron Rebel sleeves in a L. My calves measure just a tad under 15", my knee is 14-14.5", and my lower quad is about 18". According to the size chart I should be a large, but when I went to put one on, it wouldn't get over my quad at all. Tried to take it off and it got stuck on my calf. Within 2 minutes my foot started to go numb, 10 minutes later I had to cut it. DO NOT GO TRUE TO SIZE, I will probably reorder a 2xl.
Def run the risk of cutting off some circulation with a lot of these sleeves. I find it takes longer to get them off in general so have to work them quite a bit.
probably read it wrong? lol.. size chart says for calves just under 15" is near the top end of an XL.. even says if you have bigger quads.. you should size up...
wear deadlift socks to put on new knee sleeves or break them in with a 2L/3L soda
Great idea will try it thanks@@benchgoblin
Which do you like more, the CB4 or the Duffalo Bar? Why? I'm sure no one in the history of social media has asked this question of you before.
I find I want to use the cb4 more. Both are great but I like the novelty of 38mm.
I bought these and just received mine. I upped the size for me to 2X. I have decent size calves hence why I went up and glad I did. But man their tight! Are you keeping the large for you? Or you returning yours and getting the XL im just wondering.
I think for now I’m going to keep my L. I did just order a 2nd pair of inzers in size large (size appropriate) so if those fit a lot better I may consider also doing that for the IR.
Why’s you’re right quad mega compared to the left
Same
What's the circumference at the top/bottom? Would these be okay for bigger quads but smaller calf individuals?
They’re both much smaller in that regard compared to the inzers.
Which ones are easier to get over big calves? Thanks !
If you have bigger calves you should use that measurement to size. I'd imagine the inzers may be a bit easier since they taper out more.
What are your SBD knee sleeves size bro?
Medium
how do these compare to stoic?
Stoic 😴
Stoics are great but ergos make stoics feel like naked knees I just use my stoics for casual work or paused work
Stoics are about half the weight and a lot more stretchy. The IR or Inzers prob help more but to me the trade offs aren’t worth it and I still prefer Stoics as my every day.
Stoic are my favorite.. they are comfortable enough to wear for the whole training session . I'm not looking for additional strength gains just the comfort and warmth...
Thanks 4 the review boss
No problem 👍
Any powerlifter out there knows if you have a hard time getting them on, you use wrist straps to yank them on up. Always go 2 sizes smaller 😉👌🏼
Unfortunately that would get you disqualified in some feds like the IPF or USAPL
@@BasementBrandon ha cmon man those are legitimate federations
Have you tried XS Inzer?
No way I'd even attempt it, let alone spend another $160 to do so 😅
Great info! Thank you!
You getting ‘em?!
@@BasementBrandon I don’t need them so yes. 🤦♂️
@@BasementBrandon my inzer’s are starting to fit perfectly after wearing them for about 25 squat sessions but I want to try the iron rebel sleeves too.
Dude is your left quad bigger compared to your right? Maybe it was just the angle
Same size
Love my inzers.. a true game changer
Going to pick up the IRs?
Been waiting for this!!
Sorry bout that
How many kg do you think the inzer’s add to your squat?
Impossible to say
Personally I can say around 10kg, maybe its all in my head. I only use them for 1 or 2 sets a week while peaking for a meet, so maybe its both the peaking+the sleeves
@@emmanuelmartinez218 thanks, I have the black and red SBD’s but I want to see if I can get a plus from the inzer’s at meets
😂 man if those are chicken legs I’m screwed 🤣
😅
I was waiting for this one 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Thanks big Austin
crazy the inzers are almost 1lb lol. should be added towards your total XD
They and these are really a night and day difference in material compared to normal sleeves.
That’s shirt is Savage! Macho Man Don’t Lie
Oh yeah!
Good God....3 minutes to get them off???? Hell that's my cardio for the day
Def a process.
You got strong “chicken legs” man.
No show all go
Right!? Anyone that pulls and squats 600 don’t need to worry about it lol
Raw is on the half natty path to geared lifting. Singlet wars are the next logical progression from the knee sleeve arms race. I predict within the next 5 years you'll see raw singlets with close to the same carry over as the old school Inzer Champion suit. I also wouldn't be surprised to see someone find a way to make a t-shirt that falls within specs that is made out of dense enough material to start getting some carryover on.
All the "raw is real strength" evangelists are floating down the river of denial towards the sea of equipped lite & I'm here for it.
It def is a funny thing to see. Most times I recommend the Titan singlet as that seems to offer the most support 🤪
I did my 1st meet in ‘92 & powerlifting was just equipped. Took almost 3 decades off, came back raw because it was just easier. I use weak knee wraps because they’re easier to put on & off than sleeves that give any carryover & strong wraps just hurt to much for recreational lifting.
As an almost 50yr old I hope they continue this trend. There’s multiple reasons geared lifters seem to have longer careers & having support in the most compromised part of the lifts is probably a factor.
I truly wonder if there’s as much animosity between something like NASCAR & NHRA as there is between raw & equipped lifting.
@@BasementBrandon Have you tried the Inzer compression singlet? Has advertising of compression and is IPF approved, so can that equate to sizing down and an effect on the total?
@@snorlaxcom I have not, but from when it dropped a few years ago I just assumed it was more like the Titan Triumph singlet.
Savage video!!! Ohhh yeahhhhhhh
Cream of the crop!
ayy #chickenleggang I do love the Inzer sleeves, but I agree with you on the shape, they don't fit me well. They've also begun to rip. These Iron Rebels look like a great alternative.
Just add it to the list :)
First World Problems , when you have soooo many knee sleeves , you forget that you have New ones !!!
You rule !
I ordered it while I was on vacation and they came while I was gone, whoops.
Great vid 👍definitely need to get new knee sleeves
Thanks for taking a look!
Inzer seems to be selling the Ergopro for $135 now
It's the same price, but when you add shipping and tax it goes to over $160.
Your voice is tapping out
Nah!
They’d go on and come off more easily more easily if you put socks on after 🤷🏼♂️
Socks actually make it easier.
@@BasementBrandon that’s a surprise… maybe your legs aren’t as silky smooth as mine😂
Shirt game strong!
The cream of the crop!
If those are chicken legs , i must have chop sticks
My man
Crunchy in the hole. I don't like the sound of that. Stoics are on my Christmas list.
I do think these are more supportive, but where does it end? Stoics are def my daily driver for the mix of comfort, support, and price.
With Inzer I feel a rpe 7 turn to rpe 6
Nice
