There are four main benefits to using an elbow sleeve:
1. Keeps your elbow warm:
The sleeve's neoprene helps warm the elbow joint. Warmth increases blood flow to the area, which can help with muscle flexibility and potentially reduce injury risk.
2. Improved proprioception:
Wearing a sleeve can heighten the sense of the body's positioning, leading to improved technique.
3. Reduced pain and swelling:
A sleeve can help reduce pain and swelling during and after a workout if you have a minor injury or elbow inflammation.
4. Stabilisation:
The compression and support from the sleeve can provide stability in the elbow joint, helping you lift heavy weights with more confidence.
By wearing elbow sleeves during your lifts (particularly pressing movements/dips), you can improve your performance and reduce your chance of injury.
MADE FROM HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS
The Strength Shop Inferno Elbow Sleeves are made with reinforced stitching and crafted with 7mm of neoprene.
We use premium neoprene for optimal compression: it braces your elbows securely and won’t slide off the joint like cheaper sleeves. If you prefer less compression, consider sizing up.
They improve blood circulation around the elbow, helping you prepare your elbow joint for heavy lifting. This can enhance performance and reduce injury risks.
How do I care for and clean the elbow sleeves?
We recommend hand washing only to keep your elbow sleeves in good condition for years to come. Use a mild detergent, and air-dry. Avoid using a dryer or exposing them to direct sunlight.

The inferno sleeves are awesome. Exactly what I needed to help be push a little extra. Brand new a probably got a 15lb bump. They fit great too. Based on the dimensions I fit in a L, but I got a medium to get the extra bump in weight.
The sleeves are great. They offer the right amount of stiffness and warmth for pressing movements, and are thick enough to prevent any kind of pain during things like Zercher squats or Hussafell carries.
Excellent value for money, I advise anyone who is approaching the BB or the PL to buy quality and durable products, as the difference is from the first moment.
Ordered M @ 11.5" @ elbow nonflexed. Im 6' 2" with ling arms. It is snug but fits. I use it on my near max and max lifts and it has defitely helped my results. Would recommend!
Fits perfect! im not a bug guy by any means, at 6’2 m, 155 lbs and small little arms (13.25 at bicep peak) but still compress amazingly, and add strength, and broke in pretty fast!
I've really enjoyed these elbow sleeves. I'm dealing with bicep tendinitis and they seem to help. One note on sizing. I measured in at 12" which put me at the top end of a Medium. I took the recommendation of a helpful employee who recommended I go with the smaller size. But they are just too tight. The sleeves actually bruise my arms after 3 working sets. I'm ordering another larger pair. The price is very competitive... I think they are even under-priced.
These are my first set of elbow sleeves. So far they've done a great job at keeping my elbows warm while lifting. They are a little tight to put on, but very comfortable once I get them in place.
Fit and material quality is really good. The first size I ordered based on the size chart, they were too small and I went up 1 size. The size I got is perfect.
Rest Easy buying elbow sleeves here. I tried a different type and they were too loose. Tried size small, still too loose. Sent both back and Tried a XL in these, felt good, just WAY too tight. XXL feel good. Customer service is top notch here. A+++
Overall very good elbow sleeves. Has just enough support and does a great job of keeping your elbows warm in between sets. Probably the easiest elbow sleeves to put on and take of all the elbow sleeves I’ve owned.
Only downside is the durability. After 7 months of use the seam is almost complete torn apart.
Great product. Tight, strong fit and good support. I have tendinitis in my left arm/elbow which was hindering my workout. Using the sleeve has allowed me to keep lifting and rehabbing my arm. I’m really pleased with it.
Nice support. Feel good after lifting lots of reps. The compression seems to help squeeze out a few more reps without pain, and recovery seems improved. A little on the loose side despite a little difficulty slipping on. Easy to take off
