Are these good for doing squats with? How about using them to sleep in for recovery?? THanks!

For squatting they're certainly usable but they're not top of the line. If you really want to invest good money into saving your knees from years of squats, I would highly recommend going the extra mile with some Rehband knee sleeves or SBD knee sleeves. However, those sleeves are only for squatting and leg lifting weight exercises and might only be worth it if you squat frequently and with heavy weights. As for sleeping, you shouldn't be wearing these or any other sleeves when sleeping, I would suggest simply letting your knee air out during and relax during sleep but if you have a knee injury that really does hurt a wrap of some sort would most likely be better for compression. Hope this helps.

I do cardio type exercises and these are just fine. I also sleep with them on and find they do a great job at keeping my knees warm and compressed.

I don't have the experience to give you a positive answer however I don't see why not!

Squats? I have worn mine during squats and they stayed up just fine. Not sure how much compression you're looking for. These are comfortable enough to wear all day (or sleep in) without being tight enough to cause my calves to ache by evening. I really like mine; they do exactly what I need of them.

My son injured his knee in football to where he had a stretched PCL muscle which is in the back of the knee. He wears these for Basketball and weight lifting. My advice is to check with your doctor to see if you can do squats or it just depends upon the injury to your knee. My son doesn't use them to sleep in. I don't know if this answers your question but he seems to think it works perfectly.

I have not slept with them on but suspect that they would not feel comfortable while sleeping with them on. They are not made for sleeping. They are made to muffle ambient sound while awake and upright.

They aren't too good for sleeping. I would get soft earplugs (usualy orange). That's what I used when I was sleeping. You should find them in any sporting goods stores.

I wore them to bed and woke up in the middle of the night to remove them. The stretch was feeling pretty intense and it woke me up. I certainly don't think that did any harm. The manufacturer doesn't 'suggest' wearing them to bed, but there's no advisory against it either. After wearing them to bed tho, I think wearing yoga socks would probably be a lot more comfortable because these yoga toes do snag on bedding.

not well, i wouldn't recommend buying these for working out. i love these headphones to death, but they are more for listening to while sitting up or laying down still

yes, I would highly recomend them. You will be able to sleep on your side with them on.I use them only in the daytime around loud noise, it blocks out 75% of the volume.

As mentioned by Hridoy, the headphone design would preclude you from weight lifting while lying on your back. Otherwise, as long as you have a good snug fit, these would be great for working out - I've found them to be sweat resistant.

These work especially well for assisted pull-ups and dips. I've used them for resistance exercises as well; push-ups, deadlifts etc. well worth the purchase as far as I'm concerned...

I use these for sleeping. I don't like the foam ones for environmental reasons / how frequently you have to dispose - I can wash these & reuse - the ridges seem a little softer too, which is nice - I can insert them to block almost all noise; but also adjust them so I can hear conversation but block or muffle a lot of the surrounding noise around me.

I didn't try to sleep with them. This particular brand did not give me enough compression (I'm 145 lbs). But my 83 year old husband, who has skinny legs found the this brand tight enough to wear during the day that his legs didn't get as tired (he walks about an hour and a half). I prefer the compression socks with specific milliliter sizes, rather than those which are just small medium and large. I ecommended a different brand, responding to an Amazon question like yours and my answer was removed. Neither found the need to wear them at night.

Yes they would be great for crossfit training. I started out using them for their support after long bicycle rides; but now I use them for any strenuous activity I do.

Hi Alex,I would say that you're probably safe to fall asleep in these occasionally. The build quality is very impressive, and you do get a 2 year warranty on the M-100's. As long as you don't make a habit out of it, consistently sleeping in these headphones, I'd wager you'll be safe!

No am past the sports age. I do use them for gardening, outside chores, mowing grass, etc. I alsosleep in them after working outside. I suggest more than one pair so you can switch off and always have a clean pair.

Here is the review that I wrote after buying this product... After I do a set, of different exercises, I use these bands as a superset to really fatigue the muscle group that I'm working that day. I have used a lot of different bands, but none has ever worked as well as these. I'm buying another set, so I can alternate sides during a set. GREAT PRODUCT!!! AND great service from AMAZON.COM Now, to answer your question... I haven't used them for leg presses, but they are definitely strong enough; you may have to wrap them around, to make them shorter. You can either sit down and wrap them under your feet and press, or lie on your back, and press up. Just make sure that when you bring your knees toward your chest, the bands are short enough to still have some resistance. I think they will work fine for leg presses; hope this helps.

It depends on what you mean good for sleep. They are bulky so if you sleep on your back, yes. Any other position, maybe quite uncomfortable.

Definitely, I use them at the Gym, for an extra tight workout... Thanks, Noe

I agree that you should not walk around in these splints for day-to-day chores. But for getting up at night to use the bathroom or some other short walk when you intend to go back to bed afterwards - that is fine. Just remember to take heed to adjust your stance to remain balanced.
