I do squats with it. But any other leg workout it will bind up and you can not get a full range of motion.

No reason you can't do that, just make sure the elastic around the bottom isn't too tight. Not as supportive as neoprene sleeves, but comfortable enough to forget you're wearing them, certainly not as sweaty. The gel ring around the patella is actually pretty comfortable.

Tell me what you are expecting it to do and I will tell you if it does that or not.

My physical therapist recommended wearing this at the gym as this brace will help keep the patella tracking correctly, which will help alleviate the pain in the joint.

It's OK for front squats, but in my mind it's still too short. If it was a couple inches longer it would be much better. But your concern is well founded. It does touch the neck but not in a chocking manner. Does that help?Ken O

without using a tape measure it will be plenty high enough for anyone to comfortably perform squats. this bar is not in a position to use for the military press (shoulder press) but can be used for bench (both incline and flat). Should also note: This set up is not for advanced users. If your frequently putting more than 300 lbs. on the bar while using this bench you will start to question the construction. Other than that its a nice multi-use platform for an affordable price.

It can be a little slick but it isn't too bad for working out. That's what I have been using it for and I have never had a problem. It has a texture to it that helps keep a better grip. They do stay interlocked well when you are moving around on them.

It is really designed, so your feet only are on it raised, giving the squatting position.There is a video on youtube by manufacturer. Your weight wouldnt be an issue. Used correctly or even if somehow you choose to stand. But I would watch video, it works very easily as designed

Definitely. It is the easiest piece of workout equipment I have or have ever used. Very well worth every penny.

I have used it for softball and golf and feel its provides stability when playing these sports.Since I have not used it for squats not sure

It work great for me, but I only wear for workouts. I think with a couple layers it would be very discreet and slimming for daily use. Keep in mind this will make you sweat concentrated at waistline so you back and waistline will get damp!

Yeah but it'd be kind if awkward I think. But yeah the resistance works either way. I don't recommend the machine for really hard core workouts. It will only hold up for light use.

I don't think its designed for that but you could use it for working out. I think light sweating it can handle not the heavy stuff

I use them for strength training on my squat/dead days and they work great. They are a level 1, so it's gives light support, but it's mainly for mild compression and joint warmth to help with blood flow. I don't have any joint issues though, so these level 1 sleeves work for me.

It's a good machine for both abs, chest and some home workouts. However, ou have to be consistent and it can sometimes be uncomfortable. For the price I would definitely recommend it. However, unless you buy a new one or go to Craigslist / Ebay you will not find parts anywhere.

I haven't used it in the gym. they are a bit heavy though - you might want to take that into consideration when using them at the gym.

Hi John, I bought these mainly for TV viewing when my wife wants quiet, the volume control was a big plus for me. They have good sound, great noise cancellation, but are pretty bulky. They are fine for working out , including rowing and elliptical, and lifting. I think they would be uncomfortable to run with, and probably would slosh around. Although they do have a snug yet comfortable fit. Hope this helps. Steve

They are not ideal for heavy dead lifts. They will last until you can't stand the smell of the sweat that's soaked in and are great for everything other than heavy Deadlifts. Get something more heavy duty for Deadlifts

I would agree with the other answer. These are great and I have used them for leg press and squating. Squat by holding the handles at shoulders and step on band. Leg press. Lay on back, hold handles shoulder height and push band woth feet.

Honestly I didn't like the commercial bench I found on Amazon. I went to eBay and found a used flat/incline bench by cybex. Pretty stout bench. Then I found a nice used decline bench by precor on a fitness website that sells equipment from gyms that discard old equipment. Also in nice condition. Both worth great for what I need. This squat rack is ok and works. But if I had to do it all over again I would look for a small used one from a gym that is selling off its professional equipment. My two cents
