Can anyone give me a site where I can get some decent knee sleeves for squating at a cheep price?
Tommy Kono knee sleeves rock, about 40 bucks, tommykono.com, I think bodybuilding.com also sells em.
You can get rehbands (like on World’s Strongest Man) from Jackalsgym.com

The Rehband’s have the best rep out there. I’ve never used them tho.
I do have Tommy Kono knee and elbow sleeves that I got off liftinglarge.com almost a year ago now and they’re still going strong. I’m a BIG fan of them.
Has anybody ever used Rehband sleeves in IPF competition? I dont really like wraps much so I’m considering picking up a pair for training and competition.
I just checked the IPF rule book and it seems like they should be ok, providing they are less than 30 cm at the widest. Is this true? Anybody ever see them used? The last thing I want is to drop 80 bucks on a pair and then have them red flagged at the meet.

Brad Gillingham pulls in them…And he’s wore them at IPF world events so I’d guess it’s ok unless different rules apply to the squat and deadlift.
The OLD original blue Rehbands have the best rep out there. The newer ones are good, but supposedly thinner material and not as durable. I use the Kono’s and love them, but I’ve heard they will fall apart long before the Rehbands with heavy use.
I’m having problems with my current knee sleeves, since it keeps bunching up and sliding down my knee when I play sports. Do you guys have any recommendations for a knee sleeve to play sports in?

The newer Rehbands would probably be fine. They are a bit thinner and not as restrictive. Make sure you size them right, a little tight is better for function even if they are a motherfucker to put on.

Great! Thanks for the replies, guys.
