I’ve been lifting weights for more than a decade now and, bar a misinformed early phase dominated by bicep curls, I’ve been doing heavy squats for most of this time. But despite this, I’ve never worn knee sleeves.
It started off as a budget thing – while I was at university I wasn’t exactly flush with cash – and after that it just became a habit. I wanted my legs to be able to support heavy weights without any assistance, so I continued to squat with naked knees. However, that all changed recently when Myprotein sent me a pair of knee sleeves to try.
