Chucks for legs, or anytime I'm training calves.

An old pair of NBs otherwise.

Damn so are Romaleos necessary? Before I buy them.

I might've asked before but on the edge again of buying them.

They're not necessary but they make life easier because of the elevated heel.

nah…if you on a budget or something just put 5 lb plate under your heel to simulate..

 

 

[ooiron manoo]

Roshes or Flyknit Racers.

Both are terrible for Olympic lifting.

I wouldn't recommend putting plates under your heels either. Not the same whatsoever.

Are your knees supposed to bow out like that at the bottom of the rep?

 

[miniojw]

I hate doing the 5lb plate under heel thing. If I didn't have my lifting shoes I would wear him vibram or socks.

 

[everysingletime]

If by bow out you mean bend outwards then yes. You want the hips abducted and the knees tracking in the same direction as the toes.

 

[af1 1982]

For squats, do you want to push through the heel or the ball of your foot? Always thought you want the weight focused on your heel

 

[everysingletime]

Never the ball of your foot. Changes the center of gravity and puts pressure on the knees.

Some ppl say heel some say heel/Midfoot.

Thats what I thought. Then whats the point in elevating the heel for the squat?

 

[everysingletime]

It keeps you from losing balance when you put your center of gravity on your heel/Midfoot.

You're not supposed to let the plate push you on the balls of your feet if that's what you're getting at.

 

[af1 1982]

Ohh gotcha. So elevate the heel but keep the weight on it. 

 

[fourtyeight48]

Thanks for the replies fellas.

I'll just wait a few weeks than.

At 1:30, you can see his knees go out then back in before he lifts up. Looks pretty unstable to me.

your knees aren't suppose to move in like that at the bottom of the rep. That guy is destroying his hips in a bad way.

That's why a lot of the gym rats hit the gym because they think a good body would be a magical magnet to women...

anyways does anyone know any challenging yoga videos that does not have an overabundance of handstands and the like.

Yea, the knees aren't supposed to collapse. I used to have that problem too.

Since tights were brought up i found this interesting

http://www.menshealth.com/fitness/are-compression-garments-gimmick

They aren't superhero skivvies, but they're great for slip-on strength. A study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that powerlifters who trained for 10 weeks while wearing compression garments added nearly 40 pounds to their squat, while lifters who didn't wear them as they trained added only 6 pounds.

The scientists suggest that the compression design of these garments reduces bloodflow to the muscles in a way that may stimulate hormonal and neural pathways involved in building strength.

Are you more of a cardio guy? In a New Zealand study, fit men who wore compression underwear for 24 hours following aerobic exercise ran faster and felt less fatigued during their next workout than those who didn't don the tights. They also experienced less muscle soreness.

"The extra pressure may affect muscle sensory receptors and change their feedback to your brain in a way that alters performance," says study author Michael Hamline, Ph.D., an exercise scientist at Lincoln University in New Zealand.

I thought the tights would increase blood flow for some reason...like keep muscles warm and tight...but turns out it doesn't....and that isn't a bad thing at all
