Measure the circumference of your forearm and lower biceps, taken with your arm locked and muscles relaxed, then choose a size that best fits both measurements.
The elbow sleeves stretch more than our knee sleeves, so if you are between sizes we would suggest going for the smaller size.
We recommend hand washing your elbow sleeves with water or a mild detergent (or a specialist neoprene/wetsuit detergent), then allow the sleeves to air dry standing up.
The spin cycle of a washing machine can damage the sleeve, as the elbow sleeves become quite bulky when wet and can potentially get caught up or damaged by wringing. High heat from a washing machine or a dryer will degrade the rubber in the sleeves (potentially causing shrinkage or brittleness).
FAQs
Elbow sleeves are compression garments designed to provide support and stability to the elbow joint during weightlifting or other physical activities. Here are some of the benefits they offer:
- Joint Stability: Elbow sleeves provide compression around the elbow joint, which can help stabilize the joint during movements like lifting weights. This stability can reduce the risk of injury by minimizing excessive movement or strain on the joint.
- Warmth and Compression: The sleeves trap heat around the elbow, which can improve blood circulation and keep the muscles and tendons warm. This warmth can enhance performance and reduce the risk of strains or other injuries.
- Pain Relief: For individuals who experience mild to moderate elbow pain or discomfort during lifting, wearing elbow sleeves can provide a degree of relief. The compression can help alleviate pain by reducing swelling and inflammation.
- Increased Proprioception: Proprioception refers to the body's awareness of its position in space. The compression provided by elbow sleeves can enhance proprioception, helping lifters maintain proper form and technique during exercises.
- Injury Prevention: By providing support and stability to the elbow joint, elbow sleeves can help prevent injuries such as tendonitis, strains, and overuse injuries. They can be particularly beneficial for individuals who engage in heavy or repetitive lifting exercises.
Elbow sleeves can help deadlifting by providing overall stability, enhancing proprioception, and reducing discomfort in the elbows. They contribute to better form and can support the upper body during heavy lifts. However, their primary function isn't specifically tailored to deadlifting.
Elbow sleeves can provide support and stability for various upper body exercises such as overhead presses and dips.
You might consider using elbow sleeves if you experience discomfort during lifting, especially in the elbows. Additionally, if you're lifting heavier weights or increasing your training intensity, elbow sleeves can provide extra support and stability to prevent injuries. Some people also use them preventatively, even before experiencing discomfort, to support their joints during lifting sessions. Ultimately, the decision to start using elbow sleeves depends on your individual needs, goals, and comfort levels during lifting.
Athletes and lifters utilise elbow sleeves to protect their elbows from injuries, enhance blood circulation, and expedite recovery. Additionally, individuals with arthritis or other conditions causing elbow pain can benefit from using elbow sleeves.
