The compression allows for increased blood flow, which improves your functionality and performance, as well as decreases the rate of fatigue of your muscles. This results in quicker recovery times, allowing you to be ready for your next workout session, so you can train meaner and harder.

This also contributes to your mental focus, knowing that the joint is well supported and stable. This reduces the anxiety of injury when performing heavy lifts, allowing you to fully focus on executing proper form when lifting in any situation.
