tossing up about putting down some money on some ironworks or some of the rogues with the 0.5" heel, cant decide. I squat low bar and shoulder width, sometimes wider.
Droo, as I posted on ns.com.....in competition, you have to wear shoes, belts are optional, if you choose to wear inferior shoes, you will have inferior performance.
Its also mandatory to wear shoes at a commercial gym, your argument is quite flawed.
I have a load of dreadful squatters at PTC in crosstrainers, you cant stick brains in a statue
I also recall you lean forward quite a bit when you squat, is that correct?
i wasnt going to stop having a dig until i got a reaction
i was just taking the piss, i dont feel that strongly on the issue. i dont compete and i dont lift in a commercial gym so that doesnt really matter to me but i have been more interested in olympic lifting lately so when i move my gym to the garage and get some bumper plates ill most likely get some shoes as well.
Squat looks alright, your deadlift scares me a bit, though. Use your arse, not your lower back, gives you more power and less risk to the back. That is, keep a normal curve in your lower back, as you pretty much do for squats. You may want to ignore someone who never deadlifted 180kg x3 -but I am also someone who is very aware of the effects of back injuries.

nah youre right, i keep my journal on another site but you could see in that this was my fifth set of 5x5 starting at 140 and adding 10 each set. so all that plus a set of 20 reps two days before had my lower back pretty tired and i pulled the pin at three due to back rounding.
is it just me or do alot of these lifting shoes look like skate shoes? the black suede ones with red inside in particular lol i had a pair of globe skate shoes that looked exactly the same
