Hey B. I've been looking to get the SBD this past week. But i'm really confused as to what size I should get, maybe you can help me out. I have the Rehbands, size M and they're pretty easy to get on, especially with my tiny calves. My knee is about 15.5 INCHES and that puts me in the L range for the sleeves at around 39 CM. Should I go for a M SBD or a S size? Both will be tight, but i'm wondering which one would suit me better do you think? Would S be too small and tight, or would it work just fine. Measurements: calves - 14"/ Quads 26.5"/ knee joint 15.5".

Hey Brandon, I plan on purchasing the SBD knee sleeves soon, but I'm torn between which size to get. When I purchased my pair of Rehband knee sleeves, I got a size medium and they still fit well and putting them on is no problem. However, my concern is the process of putting on the SBD knee sleeves. My calves measure at 40cm while my knees measure at 35cm. What would your suggestion be towards what size I should get? I know that they state to go with the calves' measurement but I would like to have your personal opinion on which I should go with. I plan on using these for every squat session. SBD's medium (cm): 33 - 35.5 (standard fit), 35.5 - 38 (tight fit) SBD's large (cm): 35.5 - 38 (standard fit), 38 - 40.5 (tight fit)

so ive been squatting for a little over 2 years. started on the stronglift 5x5 and am still doing a similar type program to that. i got an inzer belt a while ago and WOW! Helped my squat tremendously. im still progressing but have done 315 for 5 reps as my best lift. would you advise getting knee sleeves? will they allow me to lift more weight like a belt does? also what program would you recommend once i stall out on my current 5x3? thanks and love your channel!

What I like about the Rehband is the ease of getting them on and off while still getting the support on the knees. you can also get a size smaller and get a tighter fit on the Rehband to give you that extra support and rebound as well. I think I liked the fact that I don't have to struggle to get them on and off as I use to with other types of knee sleeves.

@Brandon I can see that to be true. What I find is that the SBD is longer giving you a large support area. I know this is especially true for the elbow sleeves. The Rehband are too short and prefer the SBD for elbow sleeves but again as you stated, go with rehband if you prefer quick and easy with support or SBD if you want more support and don’t mind the extra struggle putting it on and off. Have you tried doing a video for waistband? There is the original rehband and the new model in grey with Velcro belt called power line.. no info on difference. What’s your experience with these if you have any?

Great review. I'm going to eventually pick some of these up. If you had to buy one or the other, would you get some knee sleeves or some Adidas Powerlift Trainers for squatting? I'm currently squatting with flat-soled shoes.

Hey man. I ended up getting the mediums. They're snug, however I feel like I could have gotten away with smalls. Might still ordered the smalls too! Haha. The mediums can't really double as calf compression sleeves for me. However I feel like the smalls could. Quick question though. I find that the sleeve bunches up a little behind the knee (during the bottom of a squat) do you experience this at all? I'm wondering if it could be because I'm meant for a small!

Chris Carbajal according the manufacturer, use whichever measurement is bigger for sizing.

hey brandon, do you feel like your knees get weaker over time since you're always wearing knee sleeves when you squat? or do they help as a preventive measure for knee injuries?

@BasementBrandon

Not at all actually. They don't add anything for the most part so no real reason they'd weaken!

so would you recommend them for joint health? or to ease knee discomfort?

gc4ky more for health/support.

Hey Brandon would you be willing to let me know your knee measurement, the size you ended up getting, and how does it fit. I bought a pair of rehbands but they are loose now and thinking of picking up a pair of these. The rehbands were a medium and I am not sure if I should go the same size in this or one size smaller because it seems like these are a tighter fit. Thanks!

For both it's suggested to go one size smaller than what you measure. I measured a large for the Rehbands and went with a medium.

So the SBD you went with a medium too? Were they still comfortable to leave on inbetween sets?

Well done review.

I just got some 7mm Neoprene knee sleeves. Will they stretch overtime? If yes, how drastic is it? Thanks Brandon!

+Brandon Campbell thanks for the quick reply, really appreciate it. Alright just a little paranoid because I went with the "comfort" fit instead of the "competition" fit.

Anyone have any experience on shipping times to Canada from Anderson? Ordered SBD sleeves about a week ago, just wondering when I can expect them.

TheJBMasterpiece Hey how much was your shipping? Was it something like 30 bucks??

When I put on my SBDs they usually fit on a little over my calf. Is that about right?

@BasementBrandon

Mine go to about 2 inches below my knee, so top of my calf.

I was hit by a car when I was a kid and from that point I've had knee problems. Also certain leg workout I get bad shakes in my leg depending on the weight. I've been looking around for a good knee sleeve/brace for working out. Which one would be better in my condition?

@BasementBrandon

I would think a brace would be more ideal in that case.

Probably for cheaper than what I show here. They're actually made in the UK!

So would you say the rehband is better for multipurpose and the SBD is better for squats?

About to order my SBD Sleeves now but just a question regarding sizing. I measured a 14.5" knee circumference and a 16" calf circumference. For a tighter fit should I size down to a Medium or just stick with a Large? I'm 6'3" and 215 lbs.

@BasementBrandon

I have a medium at 6'4" 235lbs and it's almost too tight. I'd likely go large.

@davidlee4235

Brandon Campbell Ah I was leaning towards the Medium until you replied haha. Would you say they are too tight that they are discomforting? Hm, I may go with the Large then.

Brandon Campbell Interesting review. I was seriously considering investing in Rehbands (shipping to canada is stopping me). Wanna send me your Rehbands if you don't want them? ;)

Damn and my rehbands are on the way.. Oh well after I beat those up I'm lookin into SBD mahalos for the review.
