In my opinion this knee pad provides protection when you land on your knees while playing sports like soccer, basketball etc. It does not provide the support needed for squatting with weights. You should look at products like this ...http://www.amazon.com/Lifter-Weight-Lifting-Supports-Training/dp/B00BTZAMIK/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid;=1424548026&sr;=8-9&key;words=knee+protection+for+weight+lifting

They are not constricting, at least not the one I have. You can easily move your knee or elbow while wearing it. If you are afraid of knee damage from lifting, you should ask a trainer or a doctor what kind of thing you should get. I have tennis elbow and wear something which is tighter and more elastic than these, which I use to prevent skin damage from getting hit.

Most definitely! Just walking around between sets of squats can mess the wrap up. You could experiment with cross-wrapping, but I would look at something else like Rehband Compression sleeves - I've used Rehbands for soccer and they do the trick.

K Davis is asking how to replace the Pilates toe bar with a squat PLATFORM instead. I too am looking for this answer as an option for those who want a full platform, not just a "bar"...Hope someone else knows since some of us need support for doing squats and THAT requires a solid PLATFORM, not some "TOE bar".. I am considering making a platform out of plywood with padding and simply placing it up against the useless Pilates toe bar?

These are more for lifting weights so i recommend not, but instead use a wrist band or tape. I breakdance but wrist supports aren't very helpful, its best to just stretch the wrists before doing them.

I have only tried it when sprinting and it felt alright. But I don't think there's much impact on the knees from squatting anyway because the muscles that engaged when squatting are around the thighs and calves. I do yoga (In which I don't wear knee support) which uses much strength of legs and I keep my feet active when strength of legs is required so there's not much pressure on the knees. I'd ask your doctor/physician for better suggestions.

I'm sure you could use them for that, but they'really padded for lifting weights. Usually when I'm not lifting I take them off just to get air to my hands but they are very comfortable for most any workouts. Just keep in mind all of the padding technology is meant for weight lifting.

Are fine for squats. You need a racking point to start from and then these stands are good safety measure for the bottom of your motion.

Well , I'm a woman and j have pretty smallWrist and they fit me just fine . They Velcro allows you to pull them pretty tight . These are actually te best weights I've ever owned and plan on buying the heavier set .

well I use them for weight lifting,, I think they may be too heavy for racket sports,, maybe try baseball gloves..but the womens are probably fine for racket sports since they are not as heavy

I occasionally use these to work out. They are decent if you want to use them for weight lifting or something else where you aren't moving very fast. I run in them occasionally but they do fall out a lot once I start to sweat.

I wish I could answer your question better. I bought this for my husband, but he never wears it because he says it is uncomfortable. As far as weight lifting....probably not. they don't go up high enough on you waist and lower back for that.

Weighted squats: step on band & handles at shoulders. Look on youtube.com search "exercise bands workouts" Bodylastics has great workouts.

I would not use this sleeve for weight lifting. I do weight lifting and you need a lot more support than this offers. This sleeve is more decorative than anything else. Look the reviews ... a lot of them are from parents who bought it for their high school student kids. I have gone over to Tommy Copper sleeves.

Hi thereYes great grip. You can't go wrong with Harbingers gloves. I've been using them for years, same pair still in good condition and I recently bought 2 pairs from Amazon for my partner and he absolutely loves them as he lifts heavy weights.Cheers, Nancy

I guess you could but they're specifically for heavy lifting in the weight room I would suggest getting some wrist wraps for boxing.

They help more in a mental aspect. I've moved more weight with them on. I think it just gives more confidence that your knees will track more correctly.

I am sure what you are requesting but there isn't any additional equipment for doing squats. I use additional weights when I do squats . Dumbells work good
