after getting my Risto weighlifting shoes back from melb they got stolen at my local gym whilst I was in the shower. soo ive been squatting in my chuck taylors again the last 3 weeks and im actually likeing it more.. A little more uncomfortable doing front squats and cleans are much harder in the chucks but they will do the job until I get a new pair of ristos from the USA.
I got my do wins yesterday, ordered a size small and they're bigger than expected, with thick socks they fit fine though. Very quick turn around from aus kb, ordered friday lunch time, delivered monday early arvo, thats the quickest anything has been delivered to me from the eastern states
Ever since ironaddict died theres been a lot of threads made by a single mod. The guy has a pretty solid bench but all his other lifts were crap, he couldnt even pull 500, just that he trained at westside for 6 months.
One of his tips was how by wearing joggers when he squatted he got 'more quad activation'. I asked him 'why not just wear OL shoes?' and I got a smartass reply about how 'joggers work just fine'.
I finally received my Adidas Powerperfects 2's today after a 18 day wait... Bloody UK
Trying them on and walking around in them is insane, im already in love with them and i havent even lifted in them yet... Tonight im doing squats so perfect timing
Ill post after my workout also.
craze, they have a solid wooden sole which gives your ankle much more support and stops twisting while squatting heavy, The heel is usually raised also which usually allows for deeper, more comfortable squats
Its taken me so long to post back about my shoes but i didnt know where this thread got moved to...
Anyway, if your serious about lifting weights then do yourself a favour and fork out the dollars and buy yourself a pair of weightlifting shoes.
They make so much of a difference... Its like they cement you to the ground, its hard to explain to someone thats never worn a pair but honestly theyre one of the best things i have ever bought and imo the confidence they give you with heavier weight is worth the price tag.
