Why wear elbow sleeves?
Increased support: Elbow sleeves help to keep your elbow properly aligned during pressing movements, reducing the risk of injuries from poor form.
Improved circulation: The compression of elbow sleeves helps to stimulate blood flow, aiding in quicker recovery and reducing DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness).
Reduced risk of injury: By providing protective cushioning and support to the tendons and muscles, elbow sleeves can reduce the chance of strains and sprains.
Enhanced performance: By keeping the elbow joint warm and compressed, elbow sleeves enable an improved range of motion, meaning you can lift more weight.
Accelerated recovery: For those recovering from an injury or strain, elbow sleeves can provide therapeutic warmth and compression, speeding up the healing process.

FAQ
How do I wash the double-ply elbow sleeves?
Hand wash your double-ply elbow sleeves in cool water with a gentle detergent. After washing, gently press out any excess water and allow them to air dry flat. Refrain from using bleach and steer clear of machine drying.
What’s the advantage of using a double-ply elbow sleeve compared to single or triple-ply?
Double-ply elbow sleeves provide an enhanced level of support compared to single-ply, making them suitable for heavier lifting sessions or when more joint stability is desired. However, they offer more mobility (albeit less support) than triple-ply sleeves.
How can I choose the correct size for my double-ply elbow sleeve?
Refer to the size chart provided and compare it to your forearm's measurement. A closer fit will give you the best combination of support and movement. If you prefer a less snug fit, it might be best to go one size larger.
