There are several benefits to these cross training knee braces:- Retain heat and compression for more reactive knees.- Reduce stress and pressure caused by power movements.- Conduct stable, precise movements.- Increase support and control during squats.- Prevent injury.- Optimise muscle recovery.

These 5 mm neoprene knee braces combine flexibility and comfort for easy use and freedom of movement during WODs.They provide slight compression to promote blood flow, reduce the risk of injury, and improve recovery.

To add intensity to your WODs, it's important to choose the right size knee braces. To do so, just measure around your knee to determine the ideal size to choose (consult our "description" section above).If you're between two sizes, we recommend choosing the smaller size to keep a light compression.

Our knee braces provide warmth, but are not intended to replace medical knee braces. If you need a specialised medical support, consult a healthcare provider. Use our knee braces to take care of your knees, but be sure to consult a specialist if you have medical problems.

During your squat sessions, we recommend using squat sleeves in addition to our knee braces for greater comfort around your neck and upper back (ref: 8612851), as well as a weight training belt (ref: 8649022 or leather, ref: 8649025).

The knee is a high-use joint during cross training. It acts as a shock absorber and helps with stabilisation, supporting significant loads, particularly during box jumps, burpees, wall balls, and directional changes during shuttle runs. It is crucial to care for this essential joint in order to maintain your performance and prevent injury.

Leg workout from our coach for building muscle mass:- high barbell squat: 3-4 sets of 6-8 reps- walking lunges with dumbbells: 3 sets of 20 reps- goblet squats: 3 sets of 10-12 reps- Romanian deadlifts: 3-4 sets of 8-10 reps

For each exercise, start with the lower end of the range of reps (take care not to go until failure, and leave a 2 rep margin compared to your maximum). Then increase by one rep per week until you reach the upper end of the range, then increase your weight.When you increase the weight on the bar, start again from the lower end of the range, and move towards the higher end. Repeat the process.
