I must admit in my younger years, my old coaches would tell me even being a raw lifter... I should wear some supportive gear to add years/ mileage to my training. I laughed it off and never listened. Fast forward almost 10 years and now I'm paying the price.
I never stopped lifting but in time I would wear a pair of briefs my old coach gave me as well as power pants. Getting back after it, I'm contemplating something less restictive than briefs and also what I have fitted me when I was 275's and now sitting at 245's they don't fit. I want some compression but not as much as briefs so I'm thinking about buying Spud Inc's gateway briefs. I've talked to a few people and these "briefs" use the same material as knee sleeves so they provide a little compression but they stretch unlike actual briefs. They're also not as restrictive so there should be literally zero learning curve with them.
I wanted to see what my fellow lifters are doing.... I figure if I'll use them on my semi heavy and heavy days to give my hips some relief.
