re: Post your workout swag here

I like the lighter weight in the rom 3s. Quicker feet for Olympic lifts

Most people have used weightlifting shoes before and are complaining about the weight And probably have only used them for squatting.

If that's all you're using them for, go with the heavier shoe. You might want to check out the legacy lifters by Reebok as well.

I like having quicker feet so I went with the 3s.


Also, the rom 2s were seen as the best lifting shoe ever, so anything different is going to aggravate people

How are the lifting shoes on squats and deads. I go with chucks until about 75% of my max and then it's socks only.

Wally I use them also. I run in the Torins, Ones, and Escalantes. Hates the instincts to run in but great for lifting.

From what I've read and experienced is that if you already have flexible ankles, squat shoes aren't going to help much. For deadlifting, a raised heel is not good. It puts you forward and your hips shoot up. Barefoot is optimum but some gyms don't allow it so people wear Chuck's.

Makes sense. Thanks.

I look like a fricking slob when I go workout. I wear what's clean but my shoes are always on point.

I have been pulling deads in Chucks for 20 years (mid 40’s now). I tried the competion shoes and did not like them as much as old school Chucks. I have also buried a 605 squat in Chucks. Gklad to see younger guys still using them.

Another shoe I like for squats and deads is the New Balance Minimus

The top/capris change alot, but the rest are items I wont start without.

I was using 5lb plates on the floor as heel lifts to help me squat.

I use 10lb plates. I have zero hip or ankle flexibility, but I also don't want to spend money on adipowers or romaleos

Going to buy myself some gym shark gear for Christmas if I hit some of my fitness goals.
