STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 -- A New Niketalk = A New Thread

I wear my flyknit racers usually. I take them off when I squat and DL tho. Some buff guy at the gym told me to try it. Been doing it ever since. No idea why tho. Hahah

Chucks are definitely great for lifting especially at the price.

Do you think the Chuck 2s would be an even better option than regular chucks?

I don't know much about them tech-wise aside from the fact that they have Lunarlon insoles. If anything that might make them LESS suitable for squats, deadlifts, etc. From my understanding you don't want compressible material underfoot while doing those lifts. I believe it might compromise some stability. Typically, cushioned footwear or soles that don't provide a flat, stable base are not considered proper for lifting. That's why I cringe whenever I see people squatting in Roshes. If you take a look at adidas adipowers or Nike Romaleos they have some VERY hard materials where cushion is typically found in other athletic shoes, especially the heel. The soles are also very flat, providing the stable base that is so crucial in weightlifting, especially if you're going heavy.
 
Depends on what Im doing and how heavy Im going, Romaleos for squats no matter what though.

Racers are terrible to DL or squat in. Ive tried and anything over 135 and theres too much movement. The flyknit has too much give, forget about the sole.

Metcons for me or sometimes I even DL in Stan Smiths or Jordan 1's. But usually just the Metcons. They are amazing. I also have adidas powerlifts but ever since ive gotten the Metcons I havent worn them.
 
I lift in ultraboosts or zoom Pegasus 31

Squat and deadlift in my socks if the floor isn't a mess. I prefer the feel the ground as much as possible
 
I was wondering what the hell thread this was for a sec. At least one thing stays the same, big muscly dudes being wild sensitive.


For lifting I ended up using some free type new balances, forget the model but they feel like nothing. For running some adidas foam, again I forget the model. A ***** need some ginkgo.

you've been out of the gym for how long?
do you think you've lost plenty of lean muscle mass or is that something that doesn't occur as rapidly as most bros think?

I've been out for 2 weeks because my wrist was in pain longer than usual so I took off. No joke I have not seen any decline at all, strength wise or mass wise.


As to the deadlift and squat shoes talk I saw on one of layne nortons vids where ppl were trying to get on a dude saying he wears regular sneakers instead of those toe shoes saying he's going to twist his ankle...where do people come up with this?
 
I've been thinking about purchasing some farmers bars for the house. Heard some good things about them and don't have them at the gym. Seeing good prices on Amazon. Looking like a nice addition

I could care less what someone else buys but I am going to def judge you for buying fakes and knowing it is fake.

Meh... I can't judge someone wanting to buy Fake Yeezy's when the real one goes for $1500-$2,000.

I'll actually judge the person willing to spend thousands for a pair of shoes. :lol:
 
What happened in here :lol:

Gym shoes - nike free trainer 3.0 and metcons. Occasionally flyknit trainers, lunar flyknits, or free runs

Fake shoes opinions - people buy them because they can't get the real ones for retail. When the trade off is real yeezy's off ebay for $1600 or fakes for $100. And you just like the design of the shoe...and both have the same design....buy the fakes....who cares. Tell everyone they are real...who cares...they are just shoes. Whatever helps you sleep at night
 
I need to start taking vitamins I have them in my car looking right at me everyday and still don't take them....smh..

Does anyone shop at D's Sporting goods? i have a 55 dollar gift card, and their stuff is just to expensive, i'll give it up for 45 if anyone wants.. i'll check today to see if i cant atleast buy 1 pair of socks (so GD expensive)
