Weightlifting Gear for Olympic Lifting & Heavy Training 

Weightlifting demands explosive power, technical precision and maximum stability under load. Whether you focus on Olympic weightlifting movements such as the snatch and clean & jerk, or structured weightlifting training cycles, proper weightlifting gear is essential for performance and joint protection.

Rehband develops premium weightlifting equipment engineered for durability, anatomical fit and controlled compression. From high-volume training sessions to competition weightlifting platforms, our lifting gear supports stability, confidence and long-term resilience. 

Knee Sleeves for Stability in Squats & Olympic Lifts 

Heavy squats and deep receiving positions place significant stress on the knee joint. Our Knee Sleeves provide compression, warmth and structural support during Olympic lifting and strength-focused weightlifting training.

Weightlifting knee sleeves help: 

• Enhance joint stability under heavy load
• Improve proprioception in deep squat positions
• Maintain warmth during high-volume sessions
• Support consistent performance during competition weightlifting 

For athletes performing repeated cleans and snatches, reliable knee support is a core element of professional lifting gear. 

Wrist Supports for Secure Overhead Positions 

Overhead stability is critical in Olympic weightlifting. During the catch phase of the snatch or clean & jerk, the wrist joint absorbs substantial force. Our Wrist Supports are designed to stabilise the joint while allowing controlled mobility.

Wrist support is particularly beneficial during: 

• Heavy snatches
• Jerks and overhead presses
• Front rack positions
• High-repetition barbell cycling 

Proper wrist stability contributes to safer and more confident lifting performance. 

Elbow Sleeves & Shin Protection for Technical Lifts 

Dynamic pulling phases and bar contact can place stress on elbows and shins. Our Elbow Sleeves provide compression and joint warmth during pressing movements and accessory work.

For athletes performing frequent pulls and cleans, Shin & Calf Sleeves offer compression and protection against barbell contact, helping reduce discomfort during weightlifting training.

These supportive elements form part of a comprehensive weightlifting equipment setup focused on durability and performance. 

Back Supports for Core Stability Under Load 

Heavy deadlifts, front squats and maximal clean attempts demand strong core control. Our Back Supports are engineered to enhance intra-abdominal pressure and lumbar stability during high-intensity lifting sessions.

In both training and competition weightlifting, maintaining spinal alignment under load is essential for long-term performance and injury prevention. 

Weightlifting Clothing & Performance Apparel

Professional weightlifting clothing must allow unrestricted mobility while supporting muscle control. Our Apparel range includes compression garments and performance-focused training wear suitable for strength sessions and Olympic lifting practice. 

Compression apparel can support: 

• Muscle awareness
• Training consistency
• Warm-up efficiency
• Comfort during extended lifting sessions 

Durable materials ensure that weightlifting gear withstands repeated chalk exposure, heavy bar contact and regular washing. 

Tapes for Additional Stability & Grip Support 

Sports tape is frequently used in Olympic weightlifting to stabilise thumbs, fingers and wrists. Our Tapes provide targeted joint reinforcement during heavy lifts and high-volume training.

Kinesiology tape may also assist with muscle support and recovery between sessions, complementing structured weightlifting training programmes. 

Built for Strength, Precision & Competition 

Weightlifting combines power, speed and technical accuracy. Every lift requires coordinated force transfer from the ground through the hips and into a stable overhead position. Reliable weightlifting gear enhances confidence during maximal attempts and supports resilience during demanding training cycles.

Rehband lifting gear is developed for athletes training in Olympic weightlifting clubs, strength facilities and competition environments. Whether you are preparing for local meets or international competition weightlifting events, discover premium weightlifting equipment engineered for stability, durability and performance under load.
