good stuff!
I do Crossfit 5 days per week. I picked these up on the recommendation of a friend. They definitely make my legs feel great immediately after putting them on. I've only had them a couple of weeks, but I definitely notice less soreness after leg intensive workouts. They also seem to help me recover quicker in between sets. They feel so good that I'm thinking about getting a pair to wear at work, where I stand all day. In regards to fitting, I was right on the edge of a small or medium, went small and even with being more muscular than the average 5'6" guy the fit is great.
