I'm 50 years old. In the last 5 years I have moved to doing mostly body weight exercise, but recently have included some weights back into my routine. I do pistol squats on a regular bases while holding kettle bells to add weight. I had an injury of my left knee back in high school and I have been getting pain in that knee after doing weighted pistols lately. I did some research and decided on these support straps based on the price and the reviews. I received them quickly and I feel the quality is good. They are easy to apply and adjust. I did my leg workout as normal and had no knee pain in either of my knees. So far I really like this product. I will check in in the future to see if I have any issues as far as durability.
[1-Aug-2019 Update] No issues with the quality of this product. I am still using them several times per week. It is helping reduce my knee pain after leg workouts (although I still have some knee pain which I expect due to past injury and the fact that I am 50 years old). I would still recommend this product to anyone.
[15-Nov-2019 Update] While I do still get some mild knee pain shortly after my leg workouts, it is definitely much less pain than prior to using these knee wraps during my workouts. The wraps are definitely helping, but at 50 I can't expect not to have more aches and pains.
[21-Feb-2020] My knee pain has diminished as I continue to wrap my knees when doing leg work, which is a very pleasant surprise. I did pistol squats and weighted lunges 2 days ago and had only a slight amount of discomfort in my left knee for about 2 hours after.
[16-Apr-2020] In the last 2 weeks I have completed 4 leg workouts including weighted pistol squats and weighted lunges (with other calf and hamstring related exercise) and have experienced no knee pain. The wraps are still in good shape. Needless to say, I am VERY pleased with this product.
[10-Aug-2020] The straps are still in great shape and still little to no knee pain. Now I need to find something like this for my right shoulder. 😊
[13-Nov-2020] For the last 2 weeks I have been doing my leg routine without the straps, and keeping the movements slow and controlled. So far I have experienced no knee pain. They are still in great condition so I have the incase the pain returns. I am extremely happy with this purchase.
