- In this video, I review Stoic knee sleeves. Do I like them? Would I suggest purchasing them? How do they compare to the knee sleeves I have worn in the past?

Alan Thrall how can they offer such a fine discount on such an already fair priced item! THESE GUYS ARE HUNKS
Didn't realize how much I love this video until it surprised me as a TH-cam ad 😂 I found it hilarious. Glad I saw it though cuz I actually have been looking at some knee sleeves
Alan, thank you for making the time to produce these videos. I travel for work and if I ever find myself in your area I’d love to come by for a workout. Do you accept drop-ins? Cheers!
P.S. Just bought a pair of these sleeves and a belt! Damn, what a great price!!!
Alan Thrall so...this video. That popped up as an ad, has an affiliate link, and is a paid advertisement. So it’s a commercial. But no where does it say that. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. No doubt, no doubt, no doubt.
Milk and Cookies obviously
I’m going to start a company called Nietzsche knee sleeves and correct everything wrong with stoic knee sleeves
hahahaha
Alright you got me. I laughed.
good one hahah
And u would name them Kneetzsche sleeves
Deep....
Refreshingly to the point.
Bring back Alan thrall
Alan is lowkey the funniest dude in fitness youtube. Comedic delivery is unmatched.
Ryan McBurney I agree
@asd fgh untamed and unmatched...
Whahaah the Omar comment made me laugh
0:45 PunchNugget looking jacked out of his mind. Alan you've tried the STrong Sleeves (I think), how do you think the Stoics compare?
OmarIsuf lmao 😂
OmarIsuf hey I have the same knee sleeves Bruce crochmunch wears u should try em out there great ! (Titan yellow jackets)
Brah you just got roasted at 2:46
Stick to the sbd's man
Enter me.
Def hard to beat the value from Stoic. The downside with the STrong sleeves is that each generation seems to be a bit different in terms of build quality.
Brandon Campbell Diamond typical mark bell products imo
Still, for the price point, you have to expect a certain level of quality. I think Alan did a good job touching on that with his reaction lol
Here in America, expect in one hand and shit in the other. Im sure you know the rest of that phrase.
Thanks for the support, Brandon! We truly appreciate it!
It may placebo, but I wear knee sleeves because it helps my knees hurt less after squatting. not so much for any increase in my lift.
I feel much more confident squatting 90%+ with knee sleeves so mentally I feel it helps me more than anything
I wear the slingshot cuff 2.0 on 90% bench. Agreed that I feel less pain immediately after the set
The placebo is true, but if it helps - WHY tf Not? It's proven fact multiple athletes feels better aknowelegding their knees better lol
Zzl
2:48 Omar would love this part.
Your reviews are thoroughly lacking in BS. Thanks Alan.
You dont need sleeves but I would definitely recommend wearing some when it's cold in the gym. you tend to get more joint problems at low temperatures, sleeves can prevent these problems by keeping your joints warm
The Stoic's are also IPF approved now
I didn’t even know I wasn’t subbed to you all this time. I deeply apologize for my mistake
Just a small correction, Strong Sleeves aren't ipf-approved. Only 'slingshot sleeves 2.0' are ipf-approved at the moment from Smelly, Stoic will most likely get ipf-approved january 2019
I don't have anything earth-shattering to say, other than to thank you for your videos. I just turned 49 and I've been hitting the gym regularly now for a little over a year (Crossfit). Your videos have been extremely helpful and entertaining. Don't get me wrong, the coaches in my gym are very helpful and knowledgeable, but it's always nice to watch one of your videos that reinforces what I've already learned or, sometimes, shows me a different technique or perspective for the same movement.
At any rate, thank you for all your time and effort to blindly teach all of those who are willing to learn.
Interesting video I've been wearing xs stoic sleeves and at first we're really tough to get on but after a couple of weeks of wearing are pretty easy to slip on. They are good not extremely tight like a wrap just good support. I'm 5'3 117 for reference.
Thanks for the support Perumina!
I like knee sleeves for squats because the material bunching up behind the knee helps stop me from going way too deep. I've personally noticed I tend to sink my squats too deep without sleeves. That's why I like them
SBD
Silent But Deadly😂
392 Jake Squat Bench Deadlift ;)
Strength
Belief
Deterination
= SBD.
Great review Alan! Thank you!
I bet Alan eats a pint of Ben & Jerry’s every night god damnit it’s the best possible scenario
Stoic sleeves have been approved by the IPF.
Seen this video 10 times and just seen the mic clipped to the beard
0:04, I listened to this guy and stopped watching the video
Since you brought up ice cream, when's that ice cream eating contest between you and your brother happening?
Lmao: nice mic placement! Hahahaha.
If I could grow a beard, I too would train unshaved.
I just bought the slingshot sleeves today. I can’t wait to start using them. Also purchased the Bear Klaws from Rogue as well.
I don't give a fuck about knee sleeves but I'm gonna watch this anyways.
Fight me Alan.
Love the knowledge & honesty from this guy and that’s why I follow the page 👍🏽👍🏽
Honestly, I was most appreciative of your evaluation on Ben and Jerry’s flavors. I’ll keep that in mind the next time I’m in the grocery store....

And I guess the knee sleeve info was good as well.
Omar needs those SBD's lol...
I love how organized the sections of your review was. Please do more reviews.
idk why I'm watching a review on sleeves that I already own and use frequently but here I am.
I think what makes the difference is how the inseams irritate/imprint the skin and how durable the material is.
Are you gonna send some knee sleeves to omarisuf?
How is Omar supposed to get knee sleeves over those monstrous calves of his?
TheHatOfJuha Get a bigger one lul. Idk, any ideas?
Tube socks
Great review but just one question.If knee sleeves don't add any poundage in the squat do you think any of the top IPF lifters would attempt their max squats without them ?
So the Strong Knee sleeves are IPF approved now??
Luis Mendoza Mark Bell said yes everything he has in his product line will be. But the IPF can be picky with shit so you’ll have wait and check the IPF approved list every now and again.
alans editing is getting really good
I don't use knee sleeves, but every video of yours is entertaining.
Honestly my favorite Fitness TH-camr. Thank you for everything!
Do you notice the inner seams are more prominent or irritating between SBDs and Stoics? I had a pair Strong elbow sleeves that I ended up returning because the seams were itchy and left ugly red marks on my arms.
Great review mate. Just a question. Are these type of sleeves also good for other sports such as boxing, running etc? Because I've recently undergone a meniscus tear surgery so I'm looking for a piece of equipment to stabilize my knee during workouts without making it less flexible or functional. Thanks
@Oliver Cary oh I see. thanks a lot for replying mate.
Your editing has improved a bunch man! Great video as always!
Alan is lowkey really funny
I'll probably get these soon! Stoic will be IPF approved this fall!
Have you tried both sbd and stoic? If so which do prefer?
Love the editing
Is it tigher than knee wrap? If no how many percent of strenth(tight) compare with knee wrap. Thank you for your advice in advance.
safe to say 3 years later price is 3x more than it was in the making of this video
Stoic elbow cuffs are amazing. They're thick neoprene as opposed to just elastic, and healed my tendonitis within a week.
Thanks for the support! It is much appreciated!
I'd get stoics if they shipped to canada land.
Hey B! We do ship to Canada! Just make sure you size down from SBD or Strong sleeves to get a comparable fit in the Stoic's!
Strong sleeves finally got IPF approval? Thought that wasn't gonna happen until next year.
also, do more of these reviews please. amazing.
Idont give a #¥@$ about knee sleeves but I watched anyway
Have both. Honestly, SBD is better but I can see people going for Stoics cause it saves lot of money. You can't go wrong with either but if you have the money, get the SBD. I have decent sized calves and my recommended SBD size was large. Of course I downsized to medium and I can still fit it with little to no struggle. You just gotta pull that shit up! Not a fan of STrong.
I’m a size small in sbd what size stoic should i get
I think PEMF devices such as earthpulse, flexpulse, etc are great too
Do they have anything to do with knee protection and support in terms of injury prevention. Or is it just for rebound purpose
I don't care about knee sleeves, but I still watched the video.
I am a rebel
I don't give a F about knee sleeves but I still watched this video because you are inspiring AF.
Sbd can help you Really.. I can squat 10 kg more i am 18 years old my One rep max whitout knee sleeves was 175 and i train a little bit i got 180 easyly i bought sbd knee sleeves and i can squat 190 kg for one whit Them
I know this is an old video...but Alan if you get a second can you answer a quick question? What would happen if you rotated the Stoic sleeves so that the seam was on the side like the Strong sleeves? It seems like that would solve the issue with the seam in the back. Of course the logo would then be on the outside which should still look cool!
0:38 we need to know!!!❤️
Hey, you never said which size you wear; it would be helpful for the dimension comparison.
Alan which ones do you think would work best for strongman, ie moving events , loading and pressing?
I like the metal infomercial vibe this video has going on. I would watch this at 2 A.M. for sure.
Hello Alan! Another question to add. I see why you would try them after owning two different brands already but whats keeping you using them? just the grippies in the sleeve or something else.
Hey Alan I know you've been high bar squatting more frequently, can you make a video on helpful form corrections/cues? I find there aren't many (quality) videos for high bar squatting on TH-cam it's mostly centered around Low-Bar.
I think a7 cone knee sleeves are severely underrated. And Comparable price to stoic.
You know, I have to say... When you started out with this channel, it seemed like an Elliot Hulse knockoff that was replacing him after his channel died but now you've really come into your own with your own brand of humor and personality. Great work and hope you keep doing well! (Keep the beard microphone)
I think the "sticky stuff" that reduces sleeve movement might be silicone
How dare you not deem phish food to be the best flavor of ben and jerrys
The stoic are 60 bucks now. Thanks a lot Alan
Think it's more now
Alan, can you give a review for your new microphone holder?
I legit though you had a mini bowtie in your beard for half the review.
I was pretty disappointed when I saw the truth
Dearest Alan, truly you are one of the best TH-camrs ever. Forever yours, Bo.
SBD anyday
Good review 😂😂 mark bell knee sleeves are expensive..
Swear best video I've seen in a long time was interesting and funny all at once loved it great work sir
Thanks for the shout out at 2:09 ! Alan the manimal.
great review . funny as hell !
But I bet their not anywhere from. 19.99$ to 24.00$ like copper fit brand. Paying almost a bill for compression wraps nahhhh😅don't think so. You're not financing a car it's just a simple compression wrap
Now THAT is a proper review.
Considering you don't notice a significant difference when wearing them, I think I'll go with the stoic based on bang for your buck.
Allan, you’re the man. Keep up the great work
I ordered them almost a month ago and they haven't come in yet!!!!!!👿👹😡😠😩😧😦😭😤
Dude, way to fucking snub Urban Bourbon on your ice cream list.
You sicken me.
Fellow mega mind with the chunky monkey preference
I’m tryna get that cookies and cream flavored knee sleeves…… sorry I got distracted and might have missed a thing or two
Don't give a shit about knee sleeves so I'm not watching this video...
$65 on Amazon now 🤔
2:50 get wrecked omar
tore my knee twice playing soccer and got into lifting abt a year ago, think its about time for a pair of knee sleeves lol
You definitely need a glove for golf. Your hands will get raped to death if you don't.
I don't give a shit about knee sleeves, but still watched the whole video.
I have arthritis in my knees will knee sleeves help alleviate my pain in the gym?
Thanks for the review, sucks that the Stoics only come in limited sizes though.
Hey Jacob! What size are you looking for? It'd help us determine what sizes we need to start creating. Thanks!
Lift Unlimited, I wear 5XL SBDs. Probably not a popular size. But it would be awesome if you guys started.
Is your mic clipped to your beard? LOL! I love it!
The only thing this review did for me was make me realize I've been wearing my stoic sleeves inside out this whole time LOL
I know this comment is 2 years old but have you worn sbd knee sleeves? If so, which did you prefer?
@@garouthetiktokinfluencerhu9731 I haven't used SBD sleeves but from people I've talked to, both brands are top notch products. I still use my stoic sleeves into the 600lbs+ range on squats.
don't give a (chicken sound) about knee sleeves. still watched it xD
Hey Alan, What's your views on foam rolling?
Rhys Chandler he hates that shit not kidding
Jakob Mayr Maybe I’ll have to go back and watch his older videos. Would be good if he could do a pros and cons one like this where he takes a moment to talk about it fully and in depth. (If he hasn’t already)
no he hasnt but I can tell you recovery is 99.9 percent Food and Sleep and how you manage your Training. The 0.1 percent is Things like foam rolling, massages, contrast showers… so basically it will not be worth the invested time unless you are a professional athlete. Also if you wanna foam roll for mobility for example you cant get a proper squat or have a Little butt wink when squatting and now you think ok I Need to roll out my glutes thats wrong. This will only help a bit at best whats gonna be better is spending more time squatting, doing other exercises that may improve the Problem like front squats etc. or Fixing your technique. See your Goal in the gym is to get stronger and bigger Right? Than you should spend your time there to lift heavy weights not rolling out your muscles or doing static stretches for 15 mins when its not even neccessary. Is your Goal to be more mobile than go ahead stretch and foam roll but its just not worth the time Investment if you wanna get stronger. That btw is also what Alan preaches nowadays and go on the barbell Medicine channel to see dr Jordan Feigenbaum talk About this.
Most of the literature suggests it is worthless in a warm up, and doesn't affect athletic performance no matter how or when you employ it. However some people get a measure of pain relief from it (I am one of those people). I don't do it all the time, just if something feels especially knotty. It could even be placebo... you know... since I think it helps with painful knots or unusual stiffness, it does. Feels good to me, so I do it in the evening when I hurt extra. Helps me sleep (or maybe I only think it does). But as far as performance is concerned, there's no evidence it does anything.
I had a knee surgery a few years back for a torn lateral meniscus, which caused me to get osteoarthritis. After doing physical therapy and was able to squat again, I started from the basics, and foam roll everyday. Foam rollers are amazing for relieving tight spots, and mobility issues. I would definitely recommend using them prior to exercises.
