Urban Lifters Knee Wraps serve 3 vital purposes :1. Performance Enhancement ➤ Urban Lifters Knee Wraps have been proven to enhance performance by allowing lifters to add weight to their lifts. ➤ This is due to the unique 'Rebound' effect that is experienced. ➤ Studies show test subjects wearing wraps performed the eccentric part of the movement 45% faster than regular lifters, and performed the concentric phase 20% faster. ➤ This instantly increased numbers on the bar. How much you add is then dependent on many factors including wrap length and how tightly you chose to wrap them. 2. Lifter Safety ➤ Wrapping the knee joint will give extra support to the patella tendon, and also surrounding structures including the quadriceps tendons which are located on either side of the knee cap. ➤ This will provide stability and support to the anterior side of the tendons.➤ Another study also confirmed that knee wraps are responsible for improving force production. ➤ This is achieved as the knee wraps force your form to be tweaked. It makes it less likely that the weight will be transferred to your toes, that your hips will shoot up or that you will end up performing a 'good morning' to the detriment of your back. 3. Pain Management➤ The additional compression not only ensures all major structures are kept it place, it also stimulates effective blood flow and will boost recovery. ➤ This helps drastically in the reduction of muscle soreness and aching joint.➤ Keeping the knees warm also ensures you knees are always ready for heavy loading.Powerlifting Range:➤ The high grade, rigid material has been developed to ensure a cast like feeling, whilst still benefiting from the unique rebound capabilities of knee wraps. ➤ Powerlifting Knee Wraps contain no Velcro ends.

Absolute must have
I have worn knee joints, okay not surprising with the amount of work and physical stress they’ve put with, so not complaining ! I train hard HIT, but have been held back by both the physiological and physical pain related to knees. You can’t focus on the rep if you lack confidence or something doesn’t feel right. Since using these amazing support straps, so easy to use with the Velcro fastening, my knees feel good, supported and safe, my leg press has improved by 40 kilos in four training sessions, full deadlifts by 30 kilos and after training knee pain 100% better. Thanks for a great product.

Fantastic quality, far exceeded my expectations
I was a bit skeptical, I've purchased a fair few sub par items on Amazon over the years, this is not one of them.The quality is superb, very well made, far exceeded my expectations.There are cheaper options out there, but if like me you can't be assed with cheap crap that doesn't do the job properly, go for this item, you will not be disappointed.

I can squat again
I can squat again thanks to these wraps. For the last few years I have neglected squatting due to a slight niggle in my right leg. I always felt that I was protecting my right leg by leaning more into the left which is far from ideal. since buying these wraps I can squat again in total comfort, the need to protect my right leg is gone and I can put 100% effort into my squatting without fear.

Exactly what I was looking for.
Firstly the product arrived a day earlier than planned. The straps are very durable with Velcro fastening with the Velcro patches stitched into the straps offering strong connections without the chance of separating when in use.I was able to carry out a full squat for the first time in many a month. When I did my squats the straps offered great support with no discomfort felt. For the price I would highly recommend this item.

Deadlifting and Squating must have's!
My knees have been giving issues over the last couple of months in particular when it comes to squat's, leg press, deadlifting instead of getting held back by knee problems I got these straps.They are good quality straps and have already made a huge difference when squatting and pressing if you have knee problems grab a pair!

Good stuff...
To support your knees and take some of the strain off of tendons these are definitely the best type of knee support you can buy. The quality of this specific companies version is very good. I also like the design -which isn’t important- but a plus none the less.Btw. Some people do find this type of knee wrapping intrusive to their leg day workouts due to (either offering too much support or restricting movement) and so opt for the smaller band strap type which fastens directly onto your tendon, they also have those bands for tennis elbow also.The thing is with support wraps like which my review is for, are not really meant for every leg exercise, but for squats and anything concentrated on quads they are as good as it gets. Hopefully it would be good enough for you....I personally wrap them over the smaller tendon bands and take them off to leg curl.

Instant 10kg to my squat!
Good quality wraps with decent width and strong elastic. I suffer with stress pain on my patellar tendon at heavier weight and these certainly help with that. They make a huge difference to a squat - added 10kg straight away which is a real bonus. I would say they're essential for older lifters or those getting into some 'serious' squatting.

Works well and comfortable
I struggle with my knees especially up ladders and because I have thick legs from lypodemia, so most straps that fit all dont fit. These worked great and stopped the pain from going up ladders and are comfortable.
