In most, check your feds rule book. I know for a fact they are in USAPL/IPF but they arent in IPA. Just look it up.

The first step is admitting it, O.
Interesting conversation since I’m debating about getting sleeves. Never worn 'em before.[/quote]
If you do, spend the money and get rehbands. Every other kind sucks.

And get the old version of the rehbands while they are still available. I bought the new version and they didn’t hold up for crap. If you do buy the rehbands, consider getting one size smaller than they recommend – they’ll be tight when you first put them on, but mine tend to loosen up as they warm up.

Yes. Absolutely. The newer ones arent anything like the blue ones. They are thinner and dont keep anything warm.

Also, the permitted sleeves in USAPL are the neoprene ones - not the heavy cloth/elastic ones that feel like they’re made out of knee wrap material. Check your fed’s rules.
I’m a raw lifter, and after an MCL injury due to gymnastics, I had to start wearing sleeves just to avoid pain. So… there’s your answer.
Wraps will give you more, if you know how to use them. But they both serve the same purpose. Sleeves are just to a significantly smaller degree.
yea with a name like Animus u betta be a raw lifta!!!
