I forgot all about these cross-fit/circuit training clowns who try to take all the dbs 
. Had one this morning claiming he was using the 10s,20s, and 30s. Had to tell him he was wrong and that I was using the 30s

Can't even spot correctly...
Form was trash too, I can tell from the neck position and safety height.

Got some 7mm knee sleeves in transit. Never used sleeves before. Will this change my whole life?

No, especially if you don’t squat that heavy, often, or have trash form.
I like to put mine on like 30 minutes out from the gym, that way my knees are already warm and I can skip the stretching and jump straight into my warmup sets.
7mm knee sleeves for squats and front squats;
5mm knee sleeves for presses and deadlifts.

Do they help with stability for presses? Didn't know they were used during upper lifts.No, especially if you don’t squat that heavy, often, or have trash form.

I do all of my military presses standing and it's not uncommon for my quads to start straining from their role stabilizing. I think the sleeves help to cut down some of that.
I definitely think they help a little with trying to engage the quads during the bench press when driving up during the concentric.

Rack pulls with straps from damn near your upper thigh
Actually very common for folks that do rack pulls.
Yes sir
