Crossfit workout requires constantly high-intensity functional movements of arms ane elbows. Elbow sleeves are designed to guide your elbow joint through the full range of motion while providing support.

As you move through exercises like push-ups or pull-ups, the elbow sleeve counters the force of the muscles surrounding the elbow like the biceps and triceps. This distributes and decreases the load being passed through the joint which can prevent wear and tear over time.

The same idea applies for barbell movements like bench pressing, overhead presses, and bent over rows. While the bar is moving, the elbow sleeves provide support so that your joint doesn’t have to take the whole load head on.

Depending on the thickness, elbow sleeves also work to keep your elbow joint warm so that fresh blood is pumped through the joint while you exercise. This helps keep your joints feeling loose as you workout.

Pre-Workout warm-up and Post-Workout Recovery are equally important as workout itself. To get the best result and reduce injury, the dynamic warm-up and stretching before crossfit workout can help get your body ready for the big test. Wearing a moderate compression elbow sleeve such as NeoAlly copper elbow compression sleeve can keep your arm warm and help in flood flow.

After a crossfit workout program, you will have a lot muscle soreness. Rest and relax are surely essential, but active recovery is also important. Compression elbow sleeves do help to muscle recovery after exhausting exercise. These sleeves help to increase the blood flow through muscles, potentially improving athletic performance and speeding up recovery after workouts.

It may also help to wear compression elbow sleeves at night after a heavy day workout. In these instances, a low compression elbow sleeve with copper is the best. Do not wear your athletic compression sleeves to bed – the compression level is too high.
