 Look I get it Started lifting when I was 18 and you want to make everything you don't want to spin your wheels You want to optimize everything so you're what do we call it majoring in the miners, right? So we we instead of thinking of our diet our sleep the things that are gonna make us a strong Lifter have a good physique in the long term which are boring not sexy, but they're the truth We're focusing in on the miners our supplements Tanning my balls and the Sun not masturbating before I work out and Everyone's favorite topic knee sleeves belts wraps which one's the magic pill and in this video today We're gonna dive in I'm gonna give you my honest review from a guy who's been powerlifting 15 years I've created and worked in the equipment industry for over eight years And I've tried nearly every knee sleeve on the Sun and here's our review What the hell are we doing a fit check that that's the fit check that's not a fish That's a runway walk this guy good company good company Good company good company. All right, dude. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. That's undefeated One of my favorite companies one of my favorite teas just a old basketball tea. They made No, it's clean Some Reeboks that basically are like samba's Indoor soccer shoes just clean. Oh The 3sb you can't get those no more y'all kids f'd up. I got the question of the day though. You ready? Sure. All right You have to choose a good food a food that you actually enjoy that you truly enjoy like top top two tier foods That you like, you know, okay, and you got to get rid of one. Oh That's good, right just because just because I make the rules. Yeah, I know but like what's the alternative? He never had an imagination Usually say like do you want hot dogs for nipples or nipples or fucking no, this is this isn't a would you rather No, what is it? Dicksford? Dicksford nipples for the truth for dail. Yeah, it's just like one or the other This one just like no pick your teeth. You have to know. Okay, or you die. How's that? Okay, you fucking die or you have to choose one to delete. I'll die I'm getting rid of all the main one. I could think of is like a really like pulled pork sandwich You're just gonna delete it. Well, no, that's one of them. I'm just I don't know if I want to get rid of that I got mine, and it's a little cheeky. I Think of these questions like in the shower, you know soaping up. I'm like, oh, I'm gonna get counted. Hey You ready for mine go calzones Trash if you put a calzone in front of me. I'm banging that thing. It's so good. So good though. They're good They're really fucking good, but it's an easy Now I'm in pizza world. I'll just have a pizza instead. Yeah, see that's cheating. No, no, that's good That's genius Second one then second one hamburgers Well, that's not cancer controversial. That's controversial. You basically said pizza or hamburgers No, that's not that controversial. No, well, you know if you want to dig into this thing And I'm signing my life away because then I could still eat a cheeseburger different item. They're good sleep, you know You never go wrong But we'll talk about after but I think I think all of the equivalent games a little overrated in general But it seems like a really good sleep seems like a really good sleep. Yeah, yeah true true Crazy to think about because I know a lot of you guys may be a little bit newer and some of you OGs About and kicking with me for a while knee sleeves are kind of a new thing in powerlifting And I know that sounds crazy because all your favorite lifters are using them and talking about them in the latest To throw their hat in the ring is Inzer back in the day Inzer had a sleeve, but it was more of a fabric sleeve than a neoprene and so it wasn't allowed in rock competitions But now the internet's spoken tiktok's taken off your favorite power lifters wearing the Inzer sleeve and I wanted to try them out I would like to say this is anecdotal and I'm a little bit of a hater on equipment in general. I Don't think a knee sleeve is going to make or break your performance and it's not even going to make or break your PR Everything we have has a small learning curve and a lot of it comes down to comfort ability If there was one piece of equipment that made everybody PR Black and white then there wouldn't be multiple brands on the market being used. It's just that fact, right? If SBD hypothetically added 20 pounds to your to your squat and no other company was even close Other brands wouldn't survive in the free marketplace. That's just kind of How it works, right? So let's start off with that Second thing is when I use the Inzer shout out our boys Seabass editor, filmographer King Han Show here at third S3 SB. He'll welcome you guys in with open arms What do you call that a utility player? He does everything He let me use his insers So my SBDs because I don't like to haggle with things are like a XL or 2 XL and his insers are medium So putting that out there. They're obviously going to feel much tighter on my knees Having said that the insers felt really good I haven't worn a really tight knee sleeve and I haven't worn a new knee sleeve in a very long time I use the SBDs my SBDs are probably three years old now and the wear and tear is moderate I don't squat with crazy frequency and I was obviously building the gym and COVID so that took some time off But the insers really did to me feel like a light wrap and when I say that I mean the sensation I felt on my knee. I don't mean that in the sense of the rebound out of the hole A lot of people say stuff like that and they don't define it So they say oh, yeah, dude feels like I'm in a squat suit But a squat suit can give you like 300 pounds on your squat. That's not what I'm saying They felt quite restrictive in in a supportive way They felt very grippy a lot of people who haven't trained in knee wraps won't understand But knee wrap squatters called a bite like the wraps kind of bites you and I could feel that bite around my knee Especially in the back which probably means it's doing something on the rebound But I don't think again at the end of the day. It's gonna give you you know, 20, 30, 40 pounds of You know PR, I think they're great. It seems like they're highly durable. They fit well I know everyone's complaining about putting knee sleeves on It's the same game to me if you roll them properly and fold them up and then getting them off My tip is this is actually a good example I got these three quarters on people try to rip straight from the top But by the time you've already trained this part of the knee sleeve will dig into your leg a little bit What I suggest doing is pulling that bottom of the knee sleeve down Even just a quarter inch give it one of these guys and then kind of like ripping a band-aid taking that top off and ripping it down There's a billion tutorials online about people talking about folding it to get them on But if you're not sweaty and you're getting them on for most people It's pretty easy to get them off getting them off so little dip or sorry It's easy to get them on getting them off so a little bit more difficult. So there's a suggestion for that Overall right now if we were to do a tier which it's not popular in fitness. We should make it a thing see bass Yeah, but in tier list everywhere else are popular right movies gaming food Everyone does it but no one does it in powerlifting for some reason or fitness Maybe we'll do a tier list of equipment companies which would be fun, but right now what's S tiers the highest? Yeah, I would probably say Inzer is an S tier sleeve SPD is on the edge of a plus an S tier I can't decide yet And then we're probably going you know a tier B tier. I'd probably throw the slingshot in the in the Stoics For the big brands, that's probably where I'm at right now I'll probably need a little bit more time with the insers to give a final call But that's where we stand it today.
