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

[jkitty]

Chucks or they have metcons at the outlets. Scooped my buddy a pair yesterday for $45. Would have bought a pair for myself but they didn't have my size.

Theres less actually going ATG. Olympic lifters are the only ones that go that low.

The phrase ATG is more for social media cool points nowadays than anything else.

Agreed. I really meant to say, who's NOT squatting below parallel?

Powerlifting has to go below parallel?

Anyone know any good protein deals. I'm almost out. Thanks bros

[AZwildcats]

I only go to parallel, I'm nowhere near flexible enough to go below that

 

[stuntman mike]

took me plenty of mobility work but i can squat to parallel and a little below that.

 

[everysingletime]

I can go atg if I want to on my squats. There's no way I can make Olympic lifts if I couldn't. But I like to squat high (still past parallel of course)

Most oly lifters squat low but squatting high and succeeding at the oly lifts can still be done.

Think im going to officially end this cut today. Started July 4th 189.5. Ending today aug 29th 183.2
I think i acomplished my goal shed some fat worked on my chest and shoulders the most.
I think i look better at. 183 now then i did 2 years ago during my cut.
Going to maintain for a week then slowly add carbs in. Do this slow bulk

You ballin', b. "Beats broke so I gotta use my backup Beats" #FirstWorldProblems


But on a serious note, are they covered by warranty?
That's why I'm afraid to use any sort of pricey earbuds/headphones at the gym. I sweat like crazy too so they're bound to get jacked up


Amazon product ASIN B00V7ZZSGS
These are what I use. Cheap and sound decent (but mainly cheap). Have held up well against my sweat too

Finally did legs with Romaleo's and Inzer belt.

The belt is a game changer. I thought my old hand me down belt was good enough...i was wrong. The buckle is so so so much easier then the two prong that i was using prior. The thickness and stiffness are superb.

The romaleos i didn't feel too much difference. I feel like they will take some getting used to. My right knee is a little sore today and my knees are never sore after leg day so something tells me the shoes will need some getting used to, probably had too much forward lean getting used to the heel.

I worked my way up to 315 for 3 sets of 3. Then did a set of 2 at 335 then another single at 335. I came down to 225 and did a lot of volume. Probably 4 or 5 sets of 5 reps to try to feel the shoes and belt out more. But good leg day excited to get back in the gym and use the shoes again.

Knee sleeves still haven't been ordered

 

[Grine]

Like you, I sweat profoundly, especially with this new box not having AC throughout the gym.

I love the PowerBeats but my inner ear sweat out so much, it slips.

I got them from the apple store, they better be under warranty. I just purchased them first week of August.

 

[Thierry Henry]

if i wear between a 9.5 and a 10 in nikes (i think 9,5 with other brands) can i get away with a 9 on these addi?

yes chucks run big, most people go a full size down

 

[tdogg2k]

Buy swap return...

 

[diewitsjames]

for those of you that wear weightlifting shoes, do you only use them for leg days (squats/lunges/deadlifts)? 

 

[everysingletime]

Squats, deadlifts, presses, cleans, jerks, snatches

That's all I'd use them for

Everything but deadlifts...for me

bench, squats, OHP, even my pull ups

 

[m boiz]

Powerbeats didn't go loud enough for me,  I just rotate between 2 pairs of studio wireless.

@Tdogg2k   what size shoe do you wear? I have a second pair of Romaleos ill hook you up with. 

I also have a pair of Titan Sig Gold wrist wraps still the bag never used ill hook someone up with for shipping cost.

Pretty sure TDogg said he's 9.5-10 in Nikes. Your Romaleos wouldn't happen to be 10.5s would they??[emoji]128064[/emoji] The 11s I got are definitely too roomy and I don't even think they're broken in yet. Gotta return them soon.

Saw a lightly used orange pair in my size in NYC for $75. Might try and talk the seller into bumping the price a little and shipping to me. Not tryna pay that GWB toll to pick up from him :x

 

[tdogg2k]

Yea im a 9.5/ 10. I can wear both comfortably. My revis and kobes are both 9.5/10

guy i talked to yesterday said he uses for deadlift also.

Should we not?

Unless your training your deadlifts like a clean pull you'd want to lift in something with as thin of a sole as possible.

Boss is a good dude handing out gear

 

[titanium tea]

Air raids. Don't laugh till you try em.
They are cheap. Hella stable with the straps, and have a nice heel toe drop.
Plus you get the added benefit of growing your legs all the time because they are pretty much ankle weights.
The support feels real nice when unracking.
Def my fav shoes to lift in

Repped for this. You da man

Deadlift i would think you want to be as flat/close to the ground as possible. At least that's how I am. Anything with and elevated heel for deads I wouldn't feel right.

 

[Grine]

I argue this. In my opinion, deadlift and clean pulls are completely different.
