They work for me.

I first started wearing them after getting really sore legs from playing touch rugby 2x a week, i would go home have a shower and put them on straight away and sleep in them. The difference was really noticable the next morning, way less muscle and joint soreness.

I tested a few times by not wearing them one week then using them the week after, i love them.

I used the Skins.

For weight training though they didnt give me the same relief from DOMS i was hoping for, they did seem to make a difference but not as much as when playing touch.

^^ This.

I think the general consensus on them seems to be that they are good for rugby training etc but not so good for weight training.

Luigi doesnt know how to play rugby.

Each to their own needs really, with the many and varied leg issues/niggles I've had they have benefited me during weight training. Its more noticable when I train without them after using them for a while.

The brand I use are designed to offer targetted compression to the muscles in relation to the direction of the muscle fibres, activating them accordingly. I went from Leg pressing 400 with knee wraps to 440k without knee wraps.

I find they also offer similar recovery to doing hot/colds in the shower - which is very effective but brutal.

I know of first division teams in NPC using BSc compression socks (under their sponsors team socks).
