Stoic Knee Sleeves - Untamed Review

[@AlanThrall]

Stoic wants to give you guys 10% off your knee sleeves! www.lift.net/product/stoic-knee-sleeves-7mm/ Discount code: UTS10

[@stevena8719]

Alan Thrall how can they offer such a fine discount on such an already fair priced item! THESE GUYS ARE HUNKS

[@ascendedvegeta]

Didn't realize how much I love this video until it surprised me as a KZbin ad 😂 I found it hilarious. Glad I saw it though cuz I actually have been looking at some knee sleeves

[@jsbuck80]

Alan, thank you for making the time to produce these videos. I travel for work and if I ever find myself in your area I’d love to come by for a workout. Do you accept drop-ins? Cheers! P.S. Just bought a pair of these sleeves and a belt! Damn, what a great price!!!

[@HighSpeedChase762]

Alan Thrall so...this video. That popped up as an ad, has an affiliate link, and is a paid advertisement. So it’s a commercial. But no where does it say that. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. No doubt, no doubt, no doubt.

[@TheFrankHuda]

Milk and Cookies obviously

[@FEZGRB]

Alan is lowkey the funniest dude in fitness youtube. Comedic delivery is unmatched.

[@krdtv1426]

Ryan McBurney I agree

[@edt8489]

@asd fgh untamed and unmatched...

[@OmarIsuf]

0:45 PunchNugget looking jacked out of his mind. Alan you've tried the STrong Sleeves (I think), how do you think the Stoics compare?

[@arielloza1671]

OmarIsuf lmao 😂

[@maxlogan1870]

OmarIsuf hey I have the same knee sleeves Bruce crochmunch wears u should try em out there great ! (Titan yellow jackets)

[@canackcanack]

Brah you just got roasted at 2:46

[@petermixed8]

Stick to the sbd's man

[@grizzlymanverneteil4443]

Enter me.

[@BasementBrandon]

Def hard to beat the value from Stoic. The downside with the STrong sleeves is that each generation seems to be a bit different in terms of build quality.

[@Pler1978]

Brandon Campbell Diamond typical mark bell products imo

[@NineteenEighty-Four]

Still, for the price point, you have to expect a certain level of quality. I think Alan did a good job touching on that with his reaction lol

[@justinalexander8524]

Here in America, expect in one hand and shit in the other. Im sure you know the rest of that phrase.

[@stoic.performance]

Thanks for the support, Brandon! We truly appreciate it!

[@stevena8719]

I’m going to start a company called Nietzsche knee sleeves and correct everything wrong with stoic knee sleeves

[@hrishikeshparab1236]

hahahaha

[@Brickinasock]

Alright you got me. I laughed.

[@B0mbo-h7x]

good one hahah

[@hrishikeshparab1236]

And u would name them Kneetzsche sleeves

[@colin8601]

Deep....

[@ipsojure2137]

You dont need sleeves but I would definitely recommend wearing some when it's cold in the gym. you tend to get more joint problems at low temperatures, sleeves can prevent these problems by keeping your joints warm

[@CSWilsonDraws]

I don't have anything earth-shattering to say, other than to thank you for your videos. I just turned 49 and I've been hitting the gym regularly now for a little over a year (Crossfit). Your videos have been extremely helpful and entertaining. Don't get me wrong, the coaches in my gym are very helpful and knowledgeable, but it's always nice to watch one of your videos that reinforces what I've already learned or, sometimes, shows me a different technique or perspective for the same movement. At any rate, thank you for all your time and effort to blindly teach all of those who are willing to learn.

[@gwillad]

It may placebo, but I wear knee sleeves because it helps my knees hurt less after squatting. not so much for any increase in my lift.

[@mjpalumberi1]

I feel much more confident squatting 90%+ with knee sleeves so mentally I feel it helps me more than anything

[@prstation1363]

I wear the slingshot cuff 2.0 on 90% bench. Agreed that I feel less pain immediately after the set

[@ugwemuhwemosas7884]

The placebo is true, but if it helps - WHY tf Not? It's proven fact multiple athletes feels better aknowelegding their knees better lol

[@charleymanganello810]

Zzl

[@theAV8R]

Your reviews are thoroughly lacking in BS. Thanks Alan.

[@MARlUSb]

Whahaah the Omar comment made me laugh

[@sherr1306]

2:48 Omar would love this part.

[@TheShivedj]

I like knee sleeves for squats because the material bunching up behind the knee helps stop me from going way too deep. I've personally noticed I tend to sink my squats too deep without sleeves. That's why I like them

[@bobankhead4200]

Dearest Alan, truly you are one of the best KZbinrs ever. Forever yours, Bo.

[@michellenguyen978]

Honestly my favorite Fitness KZbinr. Thank you for everything!

[@Hexogentrinitro]

I love how organized the sections of your review was. Please do more reviews.

[@EMac60]

Love the knowledge & honesty from this guy and that’s why I follow the page 👍🏽👍🏽

[@MathiasD4hL]

The Stoic's are also IPF approved now

[@NatureFavor]

Just a small correction, Strong Sleeves aren't ipf-approved. Only 'slingshot sleeves 2.0' are ipf-approved at the moment from Smelly, Stoic will most likely get ipf-approved january 2019

[@morganmoder]

Something about your videos is so relaxing and grounding, I'm very neurotic and watching these videos just makes me feel calm (a rare feeling). Thanks for these Alan!

[@CJtheRad]

Your editing is totally fucking untamed and I love it. Comedic timing is *chef's kiss*

[@asddsagogoolpower]

alans editing is getting really good

[@suzukisteve4261]

I like the metal infomercial vibe this video has going on. I would watch this at 2 A.M. for sure.

[@AnthonyLouis84]

I just bought the slingshot sleeves today. I can’t wait to start using them. Also purchased the Bear Klaws from Rogue as well.

[@perumina]

Interesting video I've been wearing xs stoic sleeves and at first we're really tough to get on but after a couple of weeks of wearing are pretty easy to slip on. They are good not extremely tight like a wrap just good support. I'm 5'3 117 for reference.

[@stoic.performance]

Thanks for the support Perumina!

[@UrbanLegend2k11]

Your editing has improved a bunch man! Great video as always!

[@Thnickaman1]

Honestly, I was most appreciative of your evaluation on Ben and Jerry’s flavors. I’ll keep that in mind the next time I’m in the grocery store.... . . . . . And I guess the knee sleeve info was good as well.

[@galevonhaussen]

Your videos are getting better than ever... Very entertaining.. And Poka LIVES..!!

[@sleepingtube]

galevonhaussen Polka will never die!

[@aaronliu9945]

idk why I'm watching a review on sleeves that I already own and use frequently but here I am.

[@Mr956figure]

Great review!!!!! Getting back in the saddle and this is the best knee sleeve review I’ve seen

[@dnalor8753]

Stoic elbow cuffs are amazing. They're thick neoprene as opposed to just elastic, and healed my tendonitis within a week.

[@stoic.performance]

Thanks for the support! It is much appreciated!

[@abejos2189]

Swear best video I've seen in a long time was interesting and funny all at once loved it great work sir

[@bobdunnage3702]

Allan, you’re the man. Keep up the great work

[@ivor9383]

I don't use knee sleeves, but every video of yours is entertaining.

[@Wazgrel]

Great review Alan! Thank you!

[@Astryca]

Not only are your videos very informative, but they have also gotten a lot more entertaining to watch! :D

[@s241914]

You know, I have to say... When you started out with this channel, it seemed like an Elliot Hulse knockoff that was replacing him after his channel died but now you've really come into your own with your own brand of humor and personality. Great work and hope you keep doing well! (Keep the beard microphone)

[@gwillad]

also, do more of these reviews please. amazing.

[@ddljr5838]

I didn’t even know I wasn’t subbed to you all this time. I deeply apologize for my mistake

[@mjschaeffer]

I don't give a F about knee sleeves but I still watched this video because you are inspiring AF.

[@jzen1455]

I think what makes the difference is how the inseams irritate/imprint the skin and how durable the material is.

[@big_yoshi01]

Love the editing

[@AdamTyma]

Now THAT is a proper review.

[@bolugee]

Well done big man, that was a good video. I usually turn them off half way through but you were funny like. Thumbs up from Scotland pal - keep up the good work!

[@diycaveman2166]

Watching this because it was an ad for a mark bell video!!!! Mad props Alan for making it to add status!!!! Fuck ya

[@nghiephuynhmn1987]

Not sure due to the inflation or not, the Stoic is now 75$ (50% increased); the same with Iron Bull is increased from 39$ (back in 2019) to 59$ now; while SBD is still the same price but out of stock for many sizes.

[@jayformicolamusic1337]

I know this is an old video...but Alan if you get a second can you answer a quick question? What would happen if you rotated the Stoic sleeves so that the seam was on the side like the Strong sleeves? It seems like that would solve the issue with the seam in the back. Of course the logo would then be on the outside which should still look cool!

[@forestsburning3324]

Thanks for the shout out at 2:09 ! Alan the manimal.

[@RageQuitVM]

100% agree on the ice cream, with a 3 way tie including cherry garcia for me

[@TH-bd6oi]

I started using knee sleeves in my lifting and workouts, no going back. No more clicking sound from my knees. For women -> REHBAND 7751 5MM WOMEN'S KNEE SUPPORT - RX PURPLE

[@DastardlyInfallible]

Life changing. Absolutely life changing.

[@silvia393]

I think a7 cone knee sleeves are severely underrated. And Comparable price to stoic.

[@monkeyarms1170]

Great review but just one question.If knee sleeves don't add any poundage in the squat do you think any of the top IPF lifters would attempt their max squats without them ?

[@kevlovesnoodoh]

I'll probably get these soon! Stoic will be IPF approved this fall!

[@garouthetiktokinfluencerhu9731]

Have you tried both sbd and stoic? If so which do prefer?

[@marcoscastro3021]

tore my knee twice playing soccer and got into lifting abt a year ago, think its about time for a pair of knee sleeves lol

[@jasonneukom5272]

Strong sleeves finally got IPF approval? Thought that wasn't gonna happen until next year.

[@morningcoffeeOW]

0:38 we need to know!!!❤️

[@briancatt7813]

Omar needs those SBD's lol...

[@cooperclarke154]

Allan, the half brownie batter, half cookies and cream with the cheesecake core is the best flavor.

[@dimmakris98]

Great review mate. Just a question. Are these type of sleeves also good for other sports such as boxing, running etc? Because I've recently undergone a meniscus tear surgery so I'm looking for a piece of equipment to stabilize my knee during workouts without making it less flexible or functional. Thanks

[@dimmakris98]

@Oliver Cary oh I see. thanks a lot for replying mate.

[@jzen1455]

Do you notice the inner seams are more prominent or irritating between SBDs and Stoics? I had a pair Strong elbow sleeves that I ended up returning because the seams were itchy and left ugly red marks on my arms.

[@svenerikson2697]

Hello Alan! Another question to add. I see why you would try them after owning two different brands already but whats keeping you using them? just the grippies in the sleeve or something else.

[@ProdigySmurf]

Thanks for the review, sucks that the Stoics only come in limited sizes though.

[@stoic.performance]

Hey Jacob! What size are you looking for? It'd help us determine what sizes we need to start creating. Thanks!

[@ProdigySmurf]

Lift Unlimited, I wear 5XL SBDs. Probably not a popular size. But it would be awesome if you guys started.

[@DaLooseGoose11]

O my God parts of this video were so fucking funny, and u do it with the most serious face lmao. i was dying

[@ClarksvilleBarbellClub]

Is your mic clipped to your beard? LOL! I love it!

[@adamw8871]

Seen this video 10 times and just seen the mic clipped to the beard

[@TheBullethead1988]

A hunk of hulk of burning fudge is our favourite

[@theblackpanda5860]

Alan, can you give a review for your new microphone holder?

[@shellybelly2075]

This video is right up my comedy alley. 🤣

[@Sal214OC]

I didn't give a $hit about sleeves until I watched your video. Thanks for the info.

[@zeeeeb0]

Hey Alan I know you've been high bar squatting more frequently, can you make a video on helpful form corrections/cues? I find there aren't many (quality) videos for high bar squatting on KZbin it's mostly centered around Low-Bar.

[@MBHerbig]

I don't care about knee sleeves, but I still watched the video. I am a rebel

[@vandanac3134]

I think PEMF devices such as earthpulse, flexpulse, etc are great too

[@jenniferapplebaum8335]

Since you brought up ice cream, when's that ice cream eating contest between you and your brother happening?

[@jameslee8214]

Is it tigher than knee wrap? If no how many percent of strenth(tight) compare with knee wrap. Thank you for your advice in advance.

[@cnapoli]

Hey, you never said which size you wear; it would be helpful for the dimension comparison.

[@uhhcoolstory5627]

Why can’t I just by a knee brace like a “ Mueller Adjustable Knee Brace Support “ Just strap it around the knee. I squatted in it and felt good for me. I haven’t tried actual lifting knee sleeves or wraps. Just had these around the house and threw them on

[@warriorloyal3621]

Do they have anything to do with knee protection and support in terms of injury prevention. Or is it just for rebound purpose

[@mikep3322]

I like stoic I barely fit into a xxs. Wish they made a few sizes smaller

[@landismajoris3766]

If I could grow a beard, I too would train unshaved.

[@alendizdarevic8937]

Wearing golf clubs... while golfing.... I died lmao!

[@maxwelladams5114]

he said gloves

[@bradp4]

Alan which ones do you think would work best for strongman, ie moving events , loading and pressing?

[@JanSobieskiIII]

Lmao: nice mic placement! Hahahaha.

[@JdSpoof]

I bet Alan eats a pint of Ben & Jerry’s every night god damnit it’s the best possible scenario

[@thedonutdestroyer85]

If someone came to our gym they would think we are sponsored by stoic and fleo lol

[@robscholler5954]

Hey Alan, I dont wanna be that guy, but I think you made a mistake on th federation approvals. The STrong sleeves aren't IPF approved, but the slinghot 2.0's are on the list. Quality video my guy!

[@GrandmasterFerg]

Primus transitions are the best transitions.

[@mcmurph42]

Don't care about knee sleeves. But I still watched the video because I like hearing Alan's take.

[@elchapadlo8383]

safe to say 3 years later price is 3x more than it was in the making of this video

[@shiropadipto701]

Hi Alan. I would really appreciate your help on choosing the right size for my Stoic knee sleeves. My knee is 37cm, so according to the size chart I should get a medium (36.5-39 cm). But I am a bit worried it will be loose as the small size is 33.5-36 cm. Should I go for medium or small? I am a beginner, so I am gaining muscle faster. This would be my first knee sleeves, so I don’t want it to be too tight. Thanks in advance.

[@Oagization]

Refreshingly to the point.

[@LuisMendoza-oz7lt]

So the Strong Knee sleeves are IPF approved now??

[@maxlogan1870]

Luis Mendoza Mark Bell said yes everything he has in his product line will be. But the IPF can be picky with shit so you’ll have wait and check the IPF approved list every now and again.

[@tannercate8050]

So I have a messed up patellar tendon and because of it I wear a knee brace all the time but espically when ever I workout or play football. If I was to do a meet would I be able to wear that or would I have to buy some of those knee wraps?

[@joshgiegerich3793]

Tonight Dough is phenomenal ✌️😎

[@3rKoPlaysMinecraft]

What's up with knee sleeves and neoprene? Durability sure but if I can climb the roof (forgot keys) and they are only mildly scruffed, I don't see how the cheap ones I bought in Decathlon (16€, cotton and rubber) are not keeping my knees warm worse than these ones.

[@mikeb9984]

I love my strong sleeves but have never wore anything but.

[@vandanac3134]

Have you heard of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy for athletic performance enhancement?

[@canackcanack]

How come I can lift significantly more weight with knee sleeves? It's not just placebo either, I made a bunch of comparison videos, and I consistently hit more reps with knee sleeves.

[@ms3ben]

SBD Silent But Deadly😂

[@nktrainingsystems]

392 Jake Squat Bench Deadlift ;)

[@SpartanThe300th]

Strength Belief Deterination = SBD.

[@demetriuscooksey7147]

Considering you don't notice a significant difference when wearing them, I think I'll go with the stoic based on bang for your buck.

[@davidnmfarrell]

I think the "sticky stuff" that reduces sleeve movement might be silicone
