I'm at 315 on squat for 3 sets of 5reps
And hack squats and leg press for 604 at 3 sets of 12 reps.
Probably just get both and see what I like best wraps seem easier that getting a sleeve over my hairy leg or gym pants.

Im 6'4" i go all the way to the floor. Sleeves did absolutely nothing for my knees. Its hard for a guy my height. WITH WRAPS howver, i can wrap those real tight and do my thing. Kinda sucks having to remove in between sets to get blood flow again but it is what it is.
same goes for elbow sleeves and wraps. sleeves do nothing for me wraps all the way

Just received knee sleeves. Have total knee replacements, get nervous doing anything under a barbell with knees, so wanted to see if they at least give the placebo effect. Arm sleeves I'm impressed with - they helped to continue working out during tendon issues.

When I stopped wearing sleeves my knees got better.
