Ideally I like to not wear my knee sleeves before starting, but get a few warmup sets in without them. With my squatting shoes it’s kind of annoying to, in a regular commodity gym, to take my sheos off as people are waiting on the rack, to put on my knee sleeves for my last two sets. My question is, should I just do all my sets with my knee sleeves on?
Why wouldn’t you do all your sets with your knee sleeves on?
Alan Thrall reccomendation. I also think it does help prime/warm the joints a little better and make me execute some queues a little better.
I find it hard to put knee sleeves on after I have started lifting due to sweating and friction. But if I decided I wanted to, I would put them on dry, then roll them down for the first few sets.
Sorry, to clarify, you find not wearing knee sleeves helps you execute queues better / ‘prime’ the joint? or the opposite?
knee sleevs help prime the joint better
using them without helps warm up and be more cognizant for heavier sets later.
I see. If you normally do your Competition Squat with knee sleeves, I say just do all warmup sets with them. You should warmup and practice in the same way you actually execute the comp lift, ya know?

Interval training, more commonly known as high-intensity interval training (HIIT), is a broad term that refers to short bursts of intense exercise that alternate with recovery periods. Typically, a HIIT workout lasts 10–30 minutes and can burn a lot of calories. One study in 9 active men found that HIIT burned 25–30% more calories per minute than other types of exercises, including weight training, cycling, and running on a treadmill (18Trusted Source). That means HIIT can help you burn more calories while spending less time exercising.
