Is there any hard (solid) padding? It would be helpful on elbows...

Hello... yes. You will find some hard parts in the back, chest, belly, arms (2 pieces each arm). Not on elbows

No! It comes in two versions, super thin, and one that I would describe as sort of padded. I've used both, depending on what the injury is. But neither is even close to one inch thick. They work really well by the way.

The tennis elbow compression sleeve will easily fit under a dress shirt. It's very thin. Even if you fold over the lower part to increase compression, it's still not any thicker than say a heavy flannel shirt at that point and thinner where not folded.

I use this elbow support every time I play disc golf. Its a major help for tennis and golf elbow as it applies pressure consistently. We throw discs up to 400 feet with full velocity in our sport and it can cause severe soreness. the elbow support definitely helps.

My husband works out everday but can no longer lift heavy weights due to his elbow pain. I was wondering if this product would hurt his elbow as much as the free weights do. I think he ahs tennis elbow is what they call it (he is also an avid golfer). He has toned arms but wants them to be bigger. Is this the right product, or is this simply for tonig? Thanks for any suggestions.

I have not fully extended it since that is not necessary as a lap stand. Would not do that and walk away even though the unit itself is very sturdy, not wobbly like its plastic counterparts. No elbow rest, nor would I recommend you try. Better be careful, I had to have surgery on both elbows and the first one was a nightmare.

Depends on what you mean by, 'upper arm pain'. I got my elbow sleeve because I blew out my elbow lifting extra sized bales of hay. This was physical damage and the sleeve did not do much for that, but did offer some bracing and support. I believe it would be most helpful for someone who just has sore muscles from a hard workout.

No, the one that I bought for $40 just has some padding. Works like a charm.

I've used elbows at 90 degrees, with forearms parallel to the ground. This has worked well for me.

Not fully , maybe a little past the elbow . I bought some from academy , and the ones from academy go way higher and better quality

Yes, this is well padded and would be great for that. I am a personal trainer and use this for a couple of my older adult clients for floor work and it is great for protecting knees and elbows.

It's not padded. The padded ones are awful to use... I had the Gaian one. It does hurt your back at all, or at least not mine, it helped mine get better.

The padding are not that thick, but they do a good job of padding your palm and help with griping. I haven't notice any issues with dumbbells or barbells during my work out. Hope this help narrow you in the right direction.

No padding-but mine is years old, and if used correctly and installed correctly there should be no cracking.

I don't notice it with my shorts - honestly. But if I come in from the yard and my arms are wet with sweat, it isn't comfortable to my elbows and forearms. That's just me. I am hot by nature, and honestly haven't felt uncomfortable anywear else
