Played 2 hours of tennis for team training tonight. Definitely got my sweat on!
Turns out trying to keep up with 15 year olds who probably weigh 50 kg wet isn’t what it used to be, haha. God damn how whiny will I sound when I’m as ancient as @simo74 :open_mouth:
Although it’s not the age but the bodyweight and lacking athleticism that gets me tbh.

I wear like a cuff-band-thing on my elbow. Got major old man elbows. Turns out frequent heavy ohp and tennis is not a good match.

Elbow sleeves are about the only SBD thing I don’t have now. Edit: and the belt because that shit is expensive and can get same or > quality for less

Edit Edit: and wraps too. So I guess I’m missing quite a few things in the SBD range nvm.

Anyways what I’m trying to say is I don’t have elbow sleeves. May get elbows sleeves. That is all

Elbow sleeves are way more important than knee sleeves for me. But we can use them in competition.

Ranking would probably be:

  1. Belt
  2. Wrist wraps (close second because wrists are fucked too)
  3. Elbow sleeves
  4. Knee sleeves
  5. Elbow cuffs
  6. Underbelt
  7. Knee wraps

It’s ok. Any excuse will do for new gear. Wanna dabble in strongman… gotta get them elbow sleeves.

I’d go belt, footwear and knee wraps because they make a big difference and without em there can be quite a disadvantage

Also is the under belt just a scam or does it actually do something on top of the regular belt?

Think of the underbelt as kind of a sleeve for your back. Keeps it nice and warm between events.
If you wear a leather belt on top, it can create a little more stability and make cleans with the log and axle easier because you have more ‘girth’.
I don’t think they’re scam.

Not cheap but I’m not sure. I have the super basic old rehband belt.

Basically how I make my decisions regarding training equipment

It’s good fun. Where can I buy some discipline though

Don’t ask me, had pizza for dinner last night and chased that with a whisky for dessert.

Calories is fuel my friend big fuel for big gains. Tbh I’m feeling a bit uncomfortable at my current body weight. Heaviest I’ve ever been so maybe I needa chill and have some discipline in that regard myself
