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.

I would say yes. These are some of the thinnest knee pads I've ever owned and they still protect great. If your work pants are on the baggier side you'll be fine. If you weren't looking specifically for hardshell pads, then a thinner option would be volleyball pads, but these are the thinnest hardshells I've owned and they saved my knees a hundred times while snowboarding.

Isn't pain tolerance something only you can answer? All i can say is that I wear these to snowboard... Have fallen on rocks hidden under snow without issue. I can 'take a knee' when i want to, need to. I'll not board without them.For the price, I'd suggest just trying them out. or perhaps, go to home depot, take a pair of knee pads and see if you're able to 'take a knee' without pain. I'd suspect that pain would be due to pressure of kneeling / pressure of weighting your knee, as opposed to any pressure of the ground puts on your knee. If that's the case, it wouldn't matter if you were kneeling on a mattress, or concrete. Isn't pain tolerance something only you can answer? All i can say is that I wear these to snowboard...

These work well for both bench and squats. I am only 5'2". If you are tall they might not come up high enough for squats. Check the maximum height. I would guess they give that dimension in the description.

I rest them on my thighs at a slight angle, so the spindle doesn't dig in as much. However, I still wind up bruised the day after... I still believe they're the best buy available for the money to weight ratio. Lifting weights improves strength, and these bruisers will also make you tougher.

Gina, you can definitely use these to lift. I do. But if you aren't doing any boxing, I wouldn't recommend getting these simply because of the cost. If you are boxing, then definitely get these. It saves time not having to change gloves!

I have a pair and a bad knee. I use them in martial arts as a shield. I also use them when I do power lunges and kneel exercises. The kneel exercises I do, is I go down on one knee and rise. I also use them in all exercises that require me to go down on my damage knee. They work just fine, one warrening, if you have issues with skin or blood flow from the legs consult a DR.

You could, but really, you want to get weight lifting gloves. These aren't leather, and I don't think they would last long as lifting gloves. You could just live with the calluses that comes with lifting heavy things.

I'm not sure that these extend high enough for squats. I returned them because my husband didn't need them.

You could, but honestly it's pointless. I use them for heavy bag workouts with some 14oz gloves and they're very supportive. The only thing that lacks support with them is thumb support. I use them for heavy bag workouts under my gloves and they work like a charm.

I would say that these would work as well as anything else that would be out there and better than alot of other options. They are pretty close fitting. The whole things are basically neoprene and mesh on the back. There is no cap on them on the knees. The knee part is thicker neoprene. If anything would work in that respect I would think these would.good luck,Eoin

I would say it depends what your intensions are with them. I'm a fairly large guy (250 lbs) and wanted something fairly snug for weight lifting. I got a large and the fit is great. Too tight to wear for anything longer than an hour or so, which is what I need. I would assume if I just wanted some extra support an XL would have done the job, and those are the size sweat pants I wear. Hope this helps

I didn't realize there were five different "kneedits". However, when making my decision, i tried a few on at a sporting goods store, watched and read a bunch of online content, and understood the mechanics of my personal knee issue. None of them are going to work like magic, but i will say this: after wearing mine during leg workouts, stopping because i didnt feel they were as effective as described, experiencing the pain come back, wearing them again and realizing that they do work (just not 100%), i decided they are a decent product.

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 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

I use them for weight lifting and weight machines and they provide a lot of padding without being lumpy or awkward. I think they would do the same for pull ups.

I have used it for softball and golf and feel its provides stability when playing these sports.Since I have not used it for squats not sure
