Is there any hard (solid) padding? It would be helpful on elbows...

Hello... yes. You will find some hard parts in the back, chest, belly, arms (2 pieces each arm). Not on elbows

I would advise using a Triathlon bar instead. they come with elbow pads and have the same effect, but let you rest more easily. they also cost about 10x more, but if money is no issue! typically they are adjustable as far as arm length goes.

Well, for me great for support and it help my elbow recover from injury. I guess you can use it for mud runs?

I purchased them for my brother-in-law and according to him they are just knee pads and not elbow pads, nevertheless he told me that he loves them and that they are as soft as cotton. Hope this helped.

brace forearms on handles and pull up on the seat. It is stiff! :) Good luck!

I use this elbow support every time I play disc golf. Its a major help for tennis and golf elbow as it applies pressure consistently. We throw discs up to 400 feet with full velocity in our sport and it can cause severe soreness. the elbow support definitely helps.

Not much. Your knees might go out a little, but not enough to make a tangible difference. You may or may not be able to bend your arms a lot depending on how big you are (I'm short waisted so my arms stay pretty straight). You can't lean forward as much hence the impact on the arms. The taller you are the more you'd be able to lean over and bend your elbows.

The padding seems fairy thick but it is rather hard and defiantly wouldn't be comfortable for long period of time. Swivel hasn't become loud on mine yet but I have only had it a few months.

No. It is very hard and scratchy, fine for feet but not for sitting on. I actually scrapped an elbow on it.

The mesh that fits over the elbow does have a little foam underneath which makes it comfortable. On the inside of the elbow, there is a sleeve created for your elbow to fit in. This makes it very stable.

@Mike Ramsey: I am blessed not to have elbow issues, so I have yet to attempt to use TK Bands for elbow support..Sorry. I'll try TK Bands in place for elbow support and leave a review.

I have not fully extended it since that is not necessary as a lap stand. Would not do that and walk away even though the unit itself is very sturdy, not wobbly like its plastic counterparts. No elbow rest, nor would I recommend you try. Better be careful, I had to have surgery on both elbows and the first one was a nightmare.

Definitely. The strap is very easy to adjust. I usually keep mine up quite a bit higher than what they have pictured - precisely for the reason of keeping it against my triceps rather than my elbows.

It's a soft padding. It'll do fine fine for sparing practice but it isn't body armor or a substitute for elbow or shin guard type rigid plastics.

No. However, these wrist supports help prevent strain to the same tendons involved in tennis or golfers elbow by minimizing over flexion during exercise.

A lower arm guard is recommended, especially for new shooters. If your form was perfect (hold your bow arm extended, but NOT with the elbow "locked") you would not need it, but the string contacting your arm or wrist is very painful.

Thanks for the armrest information. For those commenting on the comfort of the armrest, it's not so much about comfort as it is the long-term nerve pressure on the elbows, search on "cubital tunnel syndrome" (not to be confused with carpel tunnel)
