On the SBD website, they only show the standard sizing and not the tight fit sizing. Luckily, I stumbled on your video and you showed me that sizing down to the tight fit is possible. I had no problem getting on the tight fit size. I would have most likely went with the standard sizing if it wasn't for this video. Many thanks to you, Ryan! Also, thanks for trying 3 sizes down. It was definitely informative and entertaining at the same time LOL

Thanks for the help! Wasn't too sure what size to buy but now I know, will definitaly be going back to this channel for help!

Very helpfull, thank you very much! I was worrying about sizing for so long. I purchased tight fit today💪

Video is still a great help 2 years later. I was worried I ordered a size too small but after using your method of putting the sleeves on they definitely are not too small for me. THANK YOU

You can size down even more if you follow SBD's instructions on how to put them on. You're supposed to roll up the bottom which is the tighter part of the knee sleeves... I have the same knee measurement as you and I wear XL in training and L in competition

Thank you very much and greetings from Finland! 💪

This was uniquely helpful for me given that my measurements are exactly the same as yours hahaha Thanks!

Thank you! This was super helpful, you going for the medium was hilarious!

thanks for the vid, just got mine today and i imagined they would be waay tighter, got them in the standard fit, but as u said probably better for normal training

Thank you ! This video was exactly what i needed

Wow. This has to be the best way to get sleeves on. You made this look way too easy. 😄

I am literally in a coffee shop next to the equipment shop waiting for it to open because I ordered wayyy to big of a size. Thanks.

Just ordered the storm colored ones in a Small.. knee measures about 35.5cm but calves are a little smaller.. been using medium Strong sleeves since a friend gave them to me years ago and i could easily put them on and take em off.. i would prefer it tighter and it does bunch up on the back side.. hope the S is a perfect fit..

Hey man, thanks for the video! my knees are 30.9-40 cm and the calves 41, its my first time buying knee sleeves and im powerlifting. I’m 76kg atm and i start my bulk pretty soon. Which size should i get? btw left u a big like 👍

this video helped me a lot. thanks.

I just had a pair of XL's arrive and tried them on for the first time. They certainly felt quite tight! I also have decently big calves, and it feels like they pull into them pretty strong. My knee is about 41cm. I think this is what they should feel like, but then this is the first time I've worn sleeves for competition training. Do you find sleeves tend to loosen over time?

I'm 14.5 inches around the knee, or around 36.5 cm and was wondering between the medium and the large. What do you think would be the best fit for someone who regularly squats and leg presses?

Hi InnerStrengthProducts, my knee size is (38 - 37.5)cm and my calves are 37cm. Looking for a supportive sleeve on my leg days, what sizing do you recommend? currently bulking

My knee was 17.1 inches or about 43.5 cm, I ordered a 2x because I'm right in between sizes but I'm not entirely sure I want a tight fit.

thx for info and detail presentation of fits for different sizes , considering how pricey they are sbd did poor explaining fits and sizings , my knee cap is exactly same 44.5cm so going with 2xl

My knees is 36.5cm and my calves is 39cm, what size do you think I should get for a competition tight fit?

thank you it was very helpful Greetings from Greece

Thanks very much! I bought 2XL which I find very easy to get on. My knee measures 42.5cm. While they seem to offer decent compression they do 'bunch up' a bit behind my knee which I find distracting. I'm thinking I should have sized down. Will a smaller size help with this?

Hey, my knee is 39cm and my calves is 40cm. What size should I get, XL or L? Thanks.

Recently purchased a size M. They’re a struggle to get on, once they’re on they feel tight but I’m not sure if it’s because I need to break them in or because I’ve never used knee sleeves before. Also afraid the L won’t have as much support. What would you recommend..?

I dont get it. How did you put XLs on so easy while having 49cm calves. I have 45cm calves and im fighting atleast a minute to put on XLs, even that im doing it with same technique. Also my knees are about 41cm

Sir! My knee size is 36cm and in the size chart, its saying 33-36 for medium, and 36-40 for large, and my knee size is 36! What size should i buy? Medium or large? Please help!!!

Thanks for the informative video dude was going to ask my knee inches is 15 bang on would you recommend going for L or M ? I've been wearing off brand 7mm thick still knee sleeves for a year and decided to get quality sbd ones

Hi, Great video. I'm more confused from watching this and speaking with people at my gym. I'm 16" or 40cm at the knee, 15" or 38cm calf (genetics failed me lol) I ordered an XL. I do feel and see some bunching behind the knee when I bend it. Is this an indication that the size is too big ? Thinking I'm going to exchange for a Large, but I'm debating to go to a medium as my gym buddy has bigger legs and uses a medium, says he can wear them all leg day. This is my first pair also. Would you recommend dropping to a medium or use the Large first for a year to get use to sleeves. Thank you for your time and content

Hi Ryan, thank you for the video! I have a 15" knee and have sized down to a medium for training. Would you recommend sizing down further to a small for a comp?

Hi! First of all, great video. Second of all, could you help me with choosing the right size, please? My knees measure at around 35.5cm and my calves measure at around 36.5cm, both measured when relaxed, of course. I'd assume that medium would be tight fit? Thanks in advance! Also, would tight fit be a good option for regular training as well? I know that standard would be better but how much of a hassle would it be to use tight fit for regular training, really?

Great video thanks!

thanks so much!! i was also wondering is there a certain time i should wear the sleeves? for example, do i put them on for the whole workout or when i get to a certain weight?

When measuring, should I be pulling the tape measure until it's just tight enough to sit around the knee or should I be pulling it tight?

Hi, great video. Around my knee I measure 39.5 cm and around my calves I am 44 cm. Would you recommend an XL or L for me? Thanks!

My knee measures 34,5cm. I’m thinking about buying size S. Those will be fine i guess?

I must have abnormally large knees I swear I’m like 4xl but haven’t bought sbd knee sleeves before so maybe the sleeves I got from Amazon which was 4 different types by the way ranging from L-XXXL I managed to get the triple xl ones on JUST ABOUT. But they felt uncomfortably tight but they were from Amazon so again idk maybe they just weren’t the right type… I’ll have to measure and try these

Hello, very informative video! My knees and calfs are the same 40-41cm which falls on the 2XL size. For a bit of a tighter fit do you think i should go for XL size or lower? Thanks in advance.

I measured around my knee and it’s between 36-37cm I have small calves so it should fit on easily and I would just like to know what size you reckon would be best as I am competing soon and need a pair for that but also want to get the most help out of the sleeves that I can

36cm knee and calves, what size should i go?

Man I hope the large fits that I just ordered, I’m 6’3 233 roughly

So my knee joint is about 38 cm while my calves are about 42-44 cm. Should I go for a large or an xl? I’ll be using them for leg days on squats. Don’t plan on competing soon.

Hi! Please help- my knee is 35cm and my calf is 38 cm. I squat 3 x a week and do RDLS, Calf raises etc. I’m unsure if I should go for a medium or large? I don’t want loose fabric in the back of my knee but I don’t want it to be so tight that I loose circulation… 🙃

My knee measurement is 73,5/38cm and my calf measurement is 39cm. I bought s size and can put it on but its to tight and it cuts of my blood flow. Should i buy L size or M ?

I have 37/38cm knee and 34/35cm calves and I already use knee sleeves (other brand), should I buy medium or large? I am talking about the old original knee sleeves, not the powerlifting new one

I’m having the hardest time putting mine on. I measured my knees locked

Thank for the video! U think size M would be to tight for 39cm knee (claves 40)? Im using a pair size L for over a year and thinking about buying the new verion of the sleevs Sbd relased

Hi, i would ask for recommendation in sizing old version SBD old. My left leg is 37,5, and right is 38,5 cm, calfs are 39 cm and now i currently bulk but only clean slowly, then cut. Better option would be the Large or XLarge Thanks

I'm having difficulty figuring out where exactly I should take the measurement.

Hi Ryan, I just got my knee sleeves from sbd. My knee joint and calfs both are 42 cm and that means an xxl. But I don't feel like they are very tight. Is that normal or I just have yo give them more time ?

Hey my knees are about 35 - 35.5cm which is right around M/L sizes? I would wear them for squats in 5-8 rep range (no pw at all) should i get the L then?

I’m a female and my my knee measures 13.4 inches. My calf less than that. I’m a petite size. What size would you recommend? Thank you

on the website the 44 cm says 4 XL

Hey my knee is about 34cm but my calves is around 32.5 - 33 cm what size should i get is it small or medium? Thanks!

Hello, my knees are about 40.5cm, but my calves are like 46cm, should I get XL or which size would you recommend? Thanks for the video btw.

I got a 16 inches knee joint with a 16 inches calves and i am a professional powerlifting athlete which size shall i go for. 'L' or 'M' ???

Im pretty much exactly 38cm and trying to decide between L and XL, first time using knee sleeves what do you think?

Can you do a video on SBD wrist wraps?

hey man I am 38/38.5cm knee I would like a tight fit should I go M or L

What about If I am between Small & Medium (knee joint 13 in) (calf size measurement is 13.5 inch)

Hey man, very usefull video! Are these the 5mm or the 7 mm?

Heyy, what size should i get if my knee joint is 34.5-35 cm and my calf is 36 cm? I ordered S but it was way too tight and felt really uncomfortable and i almost couldn't put it on. So im thinking should i get M or L? Thank youu

My knee circumference is 38cm and calf 37cm. I am thinking of going for medium. What do you think?

My knee is 39 and my upper calve 36 wich one should I get iam just a late novice who wants to train for strength in the gym maybe a meet over couple of years no hurry

My knee measures is 40 should I buy XL? (I will use them in the training and competition)

I'm approx between 40-41, I'd round it off to 40.5. Should I get the large which would be a tight fit, or extra large which would be an exact fit?

My knee is 15.5-15 inches what size should I get? Im only 13 so my knees might get bigger and my calves are 15 too

I have a measurement of 35,5cm knee on my left and 36cm on my right, what size should I get?

I have a 14cm knee, with a 16.5cm Calf. I prefer a tighter fit, but would it be possible to get on a M with my Calf size? Thank you

Hello. I measure 13inch on my knee and this is my first time getting the sleeves. I measure small according to the chart. Should i go for XS or 2XS?

My knees are 40.5 cm and my calves are 38 cm. I’am looking for a tight fit. Should I get XL or L?

Hey man, I’m 40.5cm around my knee would you recommend XL for heavy lifts

What about thighs?? Os there a silicon strip keeping the sleeve from rolling?

So if I have a 13 inch knee and calve what size should I get? I’d deeply appreciate the suggestion 🙏

I felt my pulse in my calves when wearing a xxl...should I size up or is that normal?

My knees are about 40.5-41cm. Would the XL be tight enough for heavy top sets?

How can you tell which one is left and which one is right? Thanks

Good. How deep do we need sleeves in calves area? I saw some people pulling up and 50% to 70% calves visible.

hey man my knees are 37 - 37.5 and my calves are 37 as well what size do you think i should get

What happens if you've got small knees but big calves! Can't get the sleeves over my calves 😭

My knee measurement 33.5 cm i want competition and training which size should i buy??

Hey brother my knee is 40cm but i want a tight fit what do you recommend

Hi. My knee size 41cm and Calves 38cm. What size can you suggest?

Use size M as elbow sleeves😂 Good info man, thanks!

Thanks! I'm 34cm and I purchased the small and it is as struggle to get on but I did get it in but it does dig on my calf and sometimes I get cramp but it's one size down! Not sure why?! Also it takes me AGES to take off - will they loosen or are there any tips to help loosen them slightly? Maybe it takes getting use to but if I have them on and try and do a hill walk I feels quite restrictive- not sure if that is normal. Any help would really be appreciated!

Does it feel a little uncomfortable behind the knee for anyone else?

My knees are 35cm and my calves 37cm what size do you recommend so. I was try the middium in the gym and it was tight to get on but feel good but it was my first time try it soo hard to rate then you noob to get it on.

Hi, If your knee size could be 45,5 which size could you prefer to buy?

Is this the 2013 version? if not is there any difference in sizing for the new version vs the 2013 version?

If im 34 cm knee joint and i got a size small is it gonna be too small?
