Increased support: Elbow sleeves help to keep your elbow properly aligned during pressing movements, reducing the risk of injuries from poor form.
Improved circulation: The compression of elbow sleeves helps to stimulate blood flow, aiding in quicker recovery and reducing DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness).
Reduced risk of injury: By providing protective cushioning and support to the tendons and muscles, elbow sleeves can reduce the chance of strains and sprains.
Enhanced performance: By keeping the elbow joint warm and compressed, elbow sleeves enable an improved range of motion, meaning you can lift more weight.
Accelerated recovery: For those recovering from an injury or strain, elbow sleeves can provide therapeutic warmth and compression, speeding up the healing process.

How do I wash the single-ply elbow sleeves?
Hand wash your elbow sleeves in cold water with a mild detergent. Gently squeeze out excess water and lay flat to dry. Avoid using bleach, and don’t machine dry as it can compromise the sleeve's elasticity and support.
What’s the benefit of using a single-ply elbow sleeve versus double or triple-ply?
Single-ply elbow sleeves offer a balanced blend of support and mobility. They're suitable for those who want protection and warmth for their elbows without feeling overly restricted. For more support, consider a double-ply or triple-ply elbow sleeve. While more supportive, they will limit your mobility more.
