In my opinion this knee pad provides protection when you land on your knees while playing sports like soccer, basketball etc. It does not provide the support needed for squatting with weights. You should look at products like this ...http://www.amazon.com/Lifter-Weight-Lifting-Supports-Training/dp/B00BTZAMIK/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid;=1424548026&sr;=8-9&key;words=knee+protection+for+weight+lifting

They are not constricting, at least not the one I have. You can easily move your knee or elbow while wearing it. If you are afraid of knee damage from lifting, you should ask a trainer or a doctor what kind of thing you should get. I have tennis elbow and wear something which is tighter and more elastic than these, which I use to prevent skin damage from getting hit.

I'm doing Insanity Max:30 on these right now and they're perfect. P90X would be good on them too. They're super heavy duty and don't move at all while doing plyo workouts unlike the foam mats.

I'm sure you CAN, but that isn't what they are designed for. I would recommend getting actual weightlifting gloves with the proper grip for the bar. These are better suited for shadowboxing and kickboxing type workouts.

I guess you could but they're specifically for heavy lifting in the weight room I would suggest getting some wrist wraps for boxing.

Hi, from my experience I use it for football and basketball. It will probably depend on how low you squat but it does give sime flexibilty

They are very durable. I don't think they will wear out anytime soon. I wear them 3 days a week for any squat type exercise with the exception of cleans. They are very thick. Just becareful the only way I see them riping is from pulling them on if your fingernails dig in. Enjoy they are worth every penny!

I would not use this sleeve for weight lifting. I do weight lifting and you need a lot more support than this offers. This sleeve is more decorative than anything else. Look the reviews ... a lot of them are from parents who bought it for their high school student kids. I have gone over to Tommy Copper sleeves.

Well , I'm a woman and j have pretty smallWrist and they fit me just fine . They Velcro allows you to pull them pretty tight . These are actually te best weights I've ever owned and plan on buying the heavier set .

K Davis is asking how to replace the Pilates toe bar with a squat PLATFORM instead. I too am looking for this answer as an option for those who want a full platform, not just a "bar"...Hope someone else knows since some of us need support for doing squats and THAT requires a solid PLATFORM, not some "TOE bar".. I am considering making a platform out of plywood with padding and simply placing it up against the useless Pilates toe bar?

These work well for both bench and squats. I am only 5'2". If you are tall they might not come up high enough for squats. Check the maximum height. I would guess they give that dimension in the description.

Actually, I'd watch the stretches a bit. The runner stretch might be a bit much and be careful with the squats at first until you get your strength up. Otherwise, like the others said, it can be modified. Don't do something that hurts.

I haven't use them for that but I think you should be able to keep them in place if you use the red thumb straps. I use them for lifting exclusively.

They help by giving compression, support, and warmth to the joint - so quite possibly yes. I know my knees feel100x better when I squat with mine on.

I am partially paralyzed and use these to build up strength with leg exercises. They're kind of 'poofy' but you CAN cinch them pretty tightly with the velcro straps so they dont slide up and down. They're larger and bulkier than ankle weights which are a pre-set weight though. I think for running or walking I'd prefer something a bit more sleek. These are perfect for my stationary exercises, but I don't think I'd choose them for running.Just my personal preference. Hope this helps!

I wish I could answer your question better. I bought this for my husband, but he never wears it because he says it is uncomfortable. As far as weight lifting....probably not. they don't go up high enough on you waist and lower back for that.

I highly suggest that you opt for adjustable knee supports (i.e. one w/ straps, Velcro & hinges) while you still have some swelling on your operated knee. Then buy this once you feel the swelling is COMPLETELY gone; though one of the best knee supports I've had, Bauerfeinds have some tendency to stretch over time and due to wear and tear, so you might also consider going down a size if you are the type that washes supports a lot. Hope this helps. #Roadtorecovery

Unfortunately, I have only used for crossfit sessions so not sure if comfortable for all day use. I would think that they should be but cannot say 100%t that they would be comfortable for all day use. I had ACL reconstruction on both knees and so far best knee braces yet for me.
