Product Review: 2XU Compression Gear | Breaking Muscle

It’s often the signature tribal looking silver streaks emblazoned on the compression fabric of 2XU workout and compression clothing that makes it stand out from the numerous other manufactures of “black tights” out there. For the athlete wearing 2XU products, however, it’s the performance of the apparel that is the difference maker.......Read more

Newton's 10 Laws of Running Better


01
GET A PROPER FIT. Standing with your heels pulled to the back of your Newtons, you should have a thumb’s width in front of your longest toe. The ball of your foot should line up over the middle of the red actuator lugs.

02
INSERT ORTHOTICS IF NEEDED. Newtons are not a substitute for custom orthotics. Remove the sockliner to accommodate your custom footbeds for the ultimate ride.

03
PRACTICE GOOD FORM. Relax, lean slightly forward and shorten your stride. Your foot will naturally land on your midfoot at a point under your hips. Keep a high cadence and your stride length short. (Do not run on your toes.)

04
land-lever-lift. Good running technique is as simple as Land-Lever-Lift: Land quietly in an athletic position with each footstrike under your hips; Lever off the front of the lugs; Lift your knee (do not push off or pull back with the toes) to begin a new stride.

05
ADAPT SLOWLY. To adapt to Newton’s Action/Reaction Technology, start with short, slow runs (about a mile or so) a couple times a week for the first two weeks. Focus on good form and gradually increase your time and distance as your body feels ready. As with any sport, too much too fast can cause injury.

06
REDUCE FRICTION. Landing heavy, breaking on your heels, bounding on your forefoot and pushing off too hard with the toes all create friction. Excessive pounding creates more shock to your muscles, tendons, and bones. Land lightly and run smoothly and efficiently.

07
LEARN FROM YOUR SHOES. Newtons wear like tires. The shoes act like a coach. By studying the friction wear patterns, you can learn how to adjust and improve your running form.

08
KEEP THEM CLEAN. Hand wash with mild soap and air dry. Do not place in direct sunlight.

09
STAY EDUCATED. Follow our website to keep updated on information, videos, tips and customer service. Share your stories and experiences on our blog.

2XU Compression Wear is here!


2XU Compression Wear is here!

Introducing three new specialised compression categories: REFRESH, XFORM and PERFORM.  Utilising all new PWX ( Power, Weight, Flex ) fabric technology you'll feel better equipped, more race ready and confident knowing you are using the world's best performance sports compression wear.

2XU Compression wear is developed in conjunction with leading research and sporting institutes durable PWX fabric has been engineered to offer optimal compression power, weight and flexibility.


Benefits of 2XU Compression


Faster Recovery
Therapeutic rated fabric provides greater pressure and recovery benefits by helping the pumping action of the cardiovascular system removing blood lactate from exercising muscles leading to faster muscle repair.
Increased performance
During exercise, your muscles are exposed to forces that cause vibration.  This major cause of muscle fatigue, known as muscle oscillation, can be reduced when wearing compression garments.  This leads to improved muscle endurance, strength and power.


Reduced damage
2XU Compression features muscle containment properties which reduce muscle damage during exercise and minimize swelling after exercise.  Additional benefits also include a significant reduction of exercise induced conditions such as DOMS ( Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness ). 
Protection + Comfort
2XU Compression products boasts a UPF sun protection factor of 50+ to offer the maximum protection during outdoor training and competition.  The fabric channels moisture away from the skin, keeping you dry and comfortable.  2XU compression garments are also embedded with an antibacterial, odour resistant application to help minimise odour and prevent bacterial growth.
Heightened agility
Heightened proprioception increases senses and awareness for enhanced stability and agility.  Proprioception can also help with improved technique as you remain aware of technique as you remain aware of your body's positioning, improving the balance control system and muscle coordination.


Improved circulation
Faster warm up and enhanced overall circulation.  Graduated compression of the limbs actively encourages and increases venous return to the heart and lymph to the lymph nodes.
Preventing DVT
Deep vein Thrombosis is a condition that mainly affects the lower body and is associated with long periods of travel and inactivity.  2XU compression Garments enhance blood flow in these areas through enhanced venous return , reducing the risk of DVT.
