Why wear knee pads?
These cross-training knee pads offer several benefits:
- Maintain warmth and compression for more responsive knees.
- Reduce stress and pressure caused by power movements.
- Perform stable, precise movements.
- Increase support and control during squats.
- Prevent injury.
- Optimize muscle recovery.
Breathable material that's easy to put on and take off
These 5 mm neoprene knee pads combine flexibility and comfort for ease of use and freedom of movement during WODs.
They offer light compression to promote blood circulation, reduce the risk of injury and improve recovery.
How to choose the right size knee brace?
To add intensity to your WODs, it's important to choose the right size knee pads. To do this, simply measure your knee circumference to determine the ideal size to choose (see our ""description"" section above).
If you fall between two sizes, we recommend you choose the smaller one to maintain light compression.
Special note on the use of knee pads
Our knee pads provide warmth but are not intended to replace medical knee pads. If you require specific medical support, please consult a healthcare professional. Take care of your knees by using our knee pads, but be sure to consult a specialist if you have any medical problems.
Equip yourself better for your squat sets
For your squat sessions, we recommend that you use the squat sleeve (ref: 8612851) for added comfort in the neck and upper back area, as well as a body-building belt (ref: 8649022 or leather, ref: 8649025).
Did you know: why protect your knees?
The knee is one of the most stressed joints in cross-training. It acts as a shock absorber and contributes to stabilization, withstanding considerable stress, particularly during box jumps, burpees, wall balls and changes of direction during shuttle runs. Taking care of this essential joint is crucial to maintaining your performance and preventing injury.

Our coach's leg workout for building muscle mass:
- barbell squat: 3 to 4 sets of 6 to 8 reps

Coach's advice to improve your training (2/2)
For each exercise, start at the low end of the repetition range (be careful not to go all the way to failure, and leave a margin of 2 repetitions from your maximum). Then increase by one repetition per week until you reach the high end of the range, then increase the weight.
When you increase the weight on the bar, start again from the low end of the range and progress to the high end. Repeat this process.
