Why Should I use Knee Sleeves

Posted on by

I had an email today from a customer, they were asking the question ” Why should I use Knee Sleeves?” I have compiled a list of 20 reasons why you should train with knee sleeves.

I would like to thank all the Getstrength Facebook page fans in help with creating this list. Regards Steve Thompson
