compression gear

[morgan000]

What are your thoughts?

Do they work?

Reason I ask is because I have a constant shoulder pain which is bearable but I was wondering if the compression tee would help whilst benching for instance? Or is there something else?

I used to use the knee warmer thing a few times for my knee which I think helps to keep the area warm and it works so I was after some recommendations.

No

I would work out why you've got the pain rather than look for a band aid solution.

I do find they reduce my doms a lot if I have a week off for instance but don't usually train in the gear, just recovery.

It makes me smelly and horny but does bugger all to improve my performance where it matters.

I don't think they do anything at all. I wear skins at footy training in the middle of winter only because it's cold.

^ exactly this! Lol
I wear skins while training in winter cos it's fucking cold in the shed!!

I use to wear skins when rowing surf boats in winter (in Tassie) cause it was cold at 6am.

I don't think they do anything else

I wear cycling gear when road cycling, get funny looks, not sure why, maybe cos a look like a gimp in it.

It's probably more the leather mask and gag ball, but don't listen to the haters bro...

Compression gear is good for avoiding chafing when running.

Compression gear is great for avoiding carpet burns when grinding.

nice and slippery for deadlifts if wearing leg ones

It seems the consensus is to give it a miss. I was thinking about getting an aldi special one just to try it but I'll think about it.
