I was looking at the kono knee sleeves like you had mentioned and saw he also has some sort of belt. I may look into that. The hernia started to give me issues when i started to do the dead lifts but was manageable. And for Cathie helping with getting the bar off she is a tad short, so when she did assist she basically had her crotch over my nose. Which normally may not be a problem but not in the gym after being all sweaty. LMFAO....Good workout. You may want to think about a weight belt for some support for that hernia don't want make it worse.Also get Cathy to help you with the lift off on decline bench.
Also on the Knee sleeves. He showed a medium and a large or maybe it was large and extra large based on weight. My current weight is literally on the border for both sizes. Of course once i hit my goal weight i will be in the smaller of the two sizes so not sure which one i should get. What is your thought on that.
