I prefer it when people wear sleeves because of the hygiene factor. People just wearing tanks and working out is :x
MRSA is no joke.

if its like that when what about backsweat and what not all over the place?
especially in the area with actual weights and where people lift, you rarely if ever see someone wipe down a bench

If youre wearing a shirt with sleeves and im wearing a shirt with sleeves, thats 2 barriers between your skin and my skin. If were both wearing tanks or something similar, theres no barrier.
Also, the leather on benches and seats wears down quicker because of the salt from skin contact. That doesnt happen as quickly with sleeved shirts.

There's this new supplement shop around town and their slogan is "shut the eff up and lift". Shop is named Get Yok'd or something to that nature. All the meatheads in there wear their shirts with big ole fonts...stereotype to the max
Yeah, man. I'm bringing my Level A Tyvek suit home from work. Will double as sauna suit!

At what weight is your grip giving out?
I would recommend working on grip strength. If you are doing less than 315 and your grip is giving out you need to work on that.
Anyone else done Cindy before?...got 17 rounds and 5 reps today, not too shabby
Haven't done Cindy in a long time... Might do it once our rigs are up.
Cindy
5 pull ups
10 push ups
15 squats
As many rounds as possible in 20 minutes.
You have an average score, anything above 20 is above average. I think the best recorded is 61 rounds.
I'm going to start doing more girls/benchmark workouts while continuing to focus on strength/oly lifting. Liking the progress so far.
Usually wear training/board shorts a long sleeve nike pro combat shirt with a superhero t from Target. Can't workout in bball shorts, too cumbersome, got rid of all of them.
Finally got these after returning the Romaleos

I just received them. I didn't do an exchange since I didn't want to miss out on the restock and finding the adipowers in a 10.5 is a *****. I returned the Romaleo's for a refund and placed another order for the adipowers. Still waiting on my refund,
TTS, the Romaleo is friendly to those with a wide foot. Tried the adipowers and like the fit, hug my foot a bit more.

Why did you return the Romaleos? Is there a reason why?
Im in the market for those or AdiPowers. Would rather get Romaleos since they look better and come in black.

i believe the adipowers are narrower. based on reviews ive read, they are very similar but just comes to how comfortable you are in each.
eastbay was running a 20% off sale and the romaleos and adipowers were included. i posted about it last week
don't think the sale is running at the moment, though

Speaking of hygiene and MRSA, the people who don't bring towels or use a towel to wipe off the benches are disgusting.

Comfort, I tried on both, and the adipowers just feel better on me. Also, I like Red, so it being all red makes me like them a bit more.

adipowers are pretty narrow, more than i was expecting. ive had them about a year now and i love lifting in them and they are pretty comfy, but the pinky toe on both my feet are callused up because of how narrow they are and rub against the inside of the shoe. kinda hurt at first, but now im just used to it. i wear regular width shoes too, so its not like i have wide feet or anything
been thinking about getting the romaleos for awhile now, but adipowers were definitely worth the money

I lift with a t-shirt and I always wipe down benches before I use them
I'd never wear a wife beater
...too many people in and out that place

Wiping and restacking weight are gym etiquette. Shame to those that don't.
