Knee Wraps

What is everybody using now? What's your favorite?

I'll start this off

I'm using APT Convict Pro, I believe they're 2m long, I'm not sure though some dude gave them to me for free when I was in Iraq. I like them though, only the second set of knee wraps I've owned

Mine are the generic cheap stuff from Dick's Sporting goods. I think I might order up some Convicts myself.

I like my Convicts, I'm still getting used to wearing wraps. I probably shouldn't be using them though, they are for "advanced and serious lifters only", and I'm new to PL but not new to weightlifting though. They're good wraps though and I suggest them

I use something similar and actually prefer it. I like them to be thinner and longer than some of the real powerlifting wraps. I'm just looking for a bit of stabilization.

I actually don't wear any knee wraps but I've had reconstructive knee surgeries so if I can't handle the weight without them I'm not going to try it. I personally think wearing wraps weakens the area even if only wearing the wraps on lifts near maximal weight.

My rehbands (which are knee sleeves) only get put on when doing something like a farmers walk or Conans wheel (when the ROM is very little). I think my knee started hurting a bit when I was using them for squats and front squats due to the knee sleeve not letting the patella "track" properly. That's my self diagnosis anyway. :D

Honestly, I agree with you that wearing a sleeve or wraps may cause complications and not allow the knee to travel as it should. I worry more about keeping my knees healthy than making my goals and if I fall a bit short it's ok. I don't plan on being in a wheelchair again. Once in my lifetime was more than enough.
