after a weightlifting friend recommended them to me. After watching Kelly Starrett on YouTube I tried it out. I wrap up each patella tendon and do 20 body weight squats. Then I wrap up above the knee cap and repeat. It does hurt when wrapping them up but feels good when squatting. I notice it does help reduce pain. The science behind it is that the bands break up the adhesions and junk around your knees. It's a good way to do bush league ART on yourself. I definitely recommend it if you are having knee pain. Kelly Starrett shows how it's done:
True Natural Raw Strength journal, articles, and rants of a strength chasing mountain man. I am a competitive Olympic lifter and hunter. I have lifted weights since 1996, and started doing in Olympic lifts in 2008. I have a good handle on persistance, determination, what works, and nutrition. My training has always been drug free and simplistic, focusing on the foundations of proper training and diet.
