knee sleeves recommendation, or no?

[Planteater]

I'm considering getting knee sleeves for squats and deads and maybe also lunges. I don't do 1rep maxes or anything near. Just hypertrophy training.

haven't had an injury but starting to get achy and I want love my compound movements and want to keep going for 20 more years (now 55).

what's the best knee sleeves to recommend?

or should I even be using knee support, making me weaker?


(currently on TRT only)

I used these when I used to try to throw up big numbers. Served its purpose for sure.

Rocktape Assassins work ok. Downside to sleeves is getting them over your shoes. Or rather the fact you can't.

I use knee sleeves only when going heavy for extra support. I get knee pain if I dont. I use SBD, love them.

I put on some icy hot or a balm then the sleeves and keep them on for my whole workout. Keeps the knees warm and keeps tendinitis away.

I have Inzer sleeves with the 3 velco straps.

Pricy. Like $60 a pair but I've had them a decade and they still are in great shape.
