    Squat shoes

    What squat shoes do you guys reckon are any good for powerlifting? Looking for something that won't cost $300 or some retarded price like that. Something $100-150 or less would be nice, with a elevated heel for squat depth and bench press.

    2015 Bench Press, most reps on bodyweight competiton.

    inspired by von, who wanted to have a bench comp for reps on 140kg that he was guaranteed to win, I propose a comp for most reps on bodyweight bench. But reps have to full range and locked out, no bouncing, and little pause between reps. Example of passable form...
