around their shins during their warmup squat sets? seems like they'll put them on once they've done some warmup sets with the bar, then 135 then 225, then roll them up and put em on

the fuk is the point? i know it looks cool as fuk, but idk why else...

Half the things you see in the gym don't make sense.

Why do people walk around with fingerless lifting gloves with wrist strap?

This one is easy, this eliminates the hassle of taking off the weightlifting shoes after warmup to put on the knee sleeves and then put on the shoes again.

It's essentially for convenience. Full srs

I do it so I don't have to take my shoes off.

Yeah, but why not put the knee sleeves on when warming up with the bar?

Why wear sleeves at all?

1) they saw some guy on youtube do it like that and so they copy it and now its habit


2) they treat sleeves like wraps. Wrapped squatters warm up without wraps then only wrap up for the working sets. Dumbasses think the same thing with sleeves


Its the same as people who squat beltless untill they hit their working weight thinking they get some kind of benefit from not having the help of the gear

I throw on my belt once I get around 120kg no point throwing it on before tbh

Idk ppl are weird.

Why would I wear a belt to warm up squats?
