What are compression cuffs and how do they support lifting?
Compression cuffs provide targeted compression and warmth to specific joint areas like elbows and knees, helping reduce discomfort and increase confidence during heavy lifting sessions. They're a focused alternative to full sleeves for targeted support. Learn more at Elbow Knee Sleeves and Protection Supports.
What is the difference between compression cuffs and full sleeves?
Compression cuffs offer concentrated compression over a smaller area compared to full sleeves that provide coverage along the entire limb. Cuffs are ideal for targeting specific problem areas while maintaining maximum mobility elsewhere. Compare options at Elbow Knee Sleeves and Double Ply Sleeves.
When should I wear compression cuffs during a workout?
Wear compression cuffs during movements that stress the targeted joint area, or throughout your entire session if you have chronic discomfort that benefits from constant compression. They're especially useful during high volume or heavy training phases. See more support options at Strength Gear Accessories and Wraps Straps Supports.
Do compression cuffs help with tendonitis and joint pain?
Compression cuffs can provide relief from minor tendonitis and joint discomfort by promoting blood flow and providing gentle support to stressed areas. Always consult a healthcare provider for persistent pain issues. Find supportive gear at Protection Supports and Elbow Knee Sleeves.
How tight should compression cuffs be for lifting?
Compression cuffs should provide firm, even pressure without cutting off circulation or causing numbness. You want enough compression to feel supported but not so tight that it affects your performance or becomes uncomfortable.

Can I wear compression cuffs under elbow sleeves?
