You could probably get away with a size Medium.

It's actually custom made by a local machine shop.

@@InnerStrengthProducts Any chance you could get me the hook up? That's awesome

It's been a long time, I don't know if I could get something like it made up again, however any machine shop should be able to make something like it up, it's just a pressed bearing with a handle on one side and a tapered split rod on the other. Feel free to email our support [email protected] and I can provide pictures if that might help.

I would go with XLarge based on your use case!

Yes that is the same sleeve. They aren't the same as a stiff sleeve, they are more of a compression sleeve.

I haven't handled a schiek belt so I couldn't say for sure, sorry.

A leather belt will generally allow you to brace into it more fully than a soft belt like this.

Glad it was helpful!

No, it shouldn't matter at all, generally I put the logo on the outside but it shouldn't make a difference.

So either a Medium or Large will fit you just fine. I would suggest using any future plans you have for bodyweight to help sway one way or the other. If you intend to gain weight over time then I'd go with the large. If you intend to lose weight over time then the Medium. If you don't plan on changing weight in the future then either will work, I generally prefer more overlap so there is less pinching when doing it up, so I would say the Large. But your preference might be to have less overlap.

Thank you so much!

Thank you for the support!

Glad I could help!

I wouldn't recommend Notorious for cardio, simply because they are a specialized shoe with a fairly soft sole (to improve grip), so wearing them for cardio will likely wear them down quicker. That said I think you'd be find in either the Lifters of a Sumo Sole, but the sumo sole might provide longer life since it has a slightly thicker sole.

@@InnerStrengthProducts appreciate it! I’m thinking of bringing my cardio shoes separately and use it when I’m done with my workouts. I was leaning towards the sumo gens because I want the grip and be “stuck” to the ground when doing squats, benching, and deadlifting.

Happy to help. We also removed the tight fit from our product pages as we found it confused some customers who would order a medium then email and ask for the tight fit medium.

That should be fine yes if you need to try to dry them quicker.

I think you would be fine with either option if there is one colour you are looking for you should be able to pick whichever you want.

I would probably recommend no smaller than the small as I think you'll have issues getting them over your calves.

Glad it was helpful!

I think a large should be a good size for you.

@@InnerStrengthProducts Thank you very much for Your help. Have a good day. Cheers

If the lever has sustained damage that might cause some issues if some pins have been bent.

I'm sorry to hear you feel this way. Having handled both they don't feel the same to me.

I'm sorry to hear that. They aren't quite as forgiving for sizing down as the original sleeves.

@@InnerStrengthProducts After watching your video on how to fold them to fit the knee i realized that size XL is perfect for me so thank you for the quality videos you put on youtube. You guys are awesome. 👏👏

This is the 2013 version yes, the sizing is the same between the new version and the 2013 version.

@@InnerStrengthProducts ok thanks!

Happy to help

I wouldn't suggest smaller than an XLarge in the Powerlifting knee sleeves. In the original 7mm you could probably get by with the Large.

I would suggest a medium for a first pair of sleeves!

@@InnerStrengthProducts thank you so much for the reply!!!

Still functional!

If you are planning to drop some weight then the large should be fine for you.

@@InnerStrengthProductsthank you hope so as it arrives tomorrow🕺🏾

I recommend the flexible to anyone who isn't sure they want a very stiff wrist wrap. I have used the same pair for years without any noticeable decline in performance.

I would tend to recommend an XLarge for you.

@@InnerStrengthProducts Thank you for your help, this being my first SBD belt how would i go about deciding on the 10mm or 13mm belt?

I would recommend the 10mm to anyone who isn't absolutely sure they want the 13.

I think the large would be perfect.

That's definitely normal, I sometime still get some bruising after not using them for a long time.

I'm sorry to hear that, we often hear of people sizing down easily on elbow sleeves because of the stretchier material.

I think you'd be totally fine in a 2XLarge.

I think you would find it too loose, I would recommend an XL.

@@InnerStrengthProducts ended up getting XL thanks

If the old ones are hard to get on in Small, I would recommend going up to the Medium.

You should be able to go with an XLarge for a pretty tight fit.

@@InnerStrengthProducts should I go for Large size ?

@@nigamxgamer134 that would be very tight, I wouldn't recommend it if you aren't used to knee sleeves.

The Sumo Sole Gen 2 are not commonly being released. I think the Gen 3 provide excellent traction and they would serve you well for competition benching.

Hey Todd, you can try to size down to the Medium, they can be much tougher to get on and off than the standard 7mm though.

If your plan is to gain 10kg over the next couple years I'd lean towards the large.

The 3XL range is 43-45.5 and the 4XL range is 45.5-48.

I would recommend a medium

Happy to help!

Happy to help! Enjoy the sleeves.

lf they are your first pair I'd recommend going with the Xlarge, I think you'll find them plenty tight.

@@InnerStrengthProducts ok, thank you mate!

I would recommend a small.

@@InnerStrengthProducts Thanks a lot!

I would recommend a small

@@InnerStrengthProducts Thanks a lot!

They would be similar but if you use a foot position that requires lots of traction you might want to go with the sumo sole gen 1

I would probably stick with the 3XLarge.

Hey there, mate. I’m 6 feet 3/192cm, and at 83kg, I’m at the upper end of the large (70-85kg) and find that the large I’ve bought is tight on the shoulders and slightly loose around the belly. Love the styling and fit around the legs.

I would say they are fairly similar in stiffness. Obviously the big difference is the exposed rubber on these.
