Then decompress after. Let fear be your cypher.

When playing football, to keep the socks from riding down our legs, we used to put loose rubber bands on top of them, near the top of the sock. Then to avoid the rubberbands from riding up above the sockline, we used to fold the sock over the rubberbands downwards. Then to avoid the fold from being undone during play another rubberband had to be put on top of the folded part.

Sounds similar to this. Just thought it was notable.

So, when you foot turns purple from the multitude of rubber bands, did it make you play any better?

Nope. It was uncomfortable and I'd argue we played worse because of the discomfort. We were also pretty bad at the game so I think we wanted the socks with rubber bands as a scapegoat instead of accepting we were shit.
