SpecialSundae Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Oversaw someone at the gym today using the power rack to lift dumbbells one at a time (lifting from his side to shoulder height). What makes it worse is that it is the only rack in the gym. He then moved on to use machines.If you have a platform and know how to ditch the bar, it's actually better to squat outside the rack. Or if you have a decent spotter.Dumping the bar on the safeties is a great way to damage it. That said, I still don't know how to ditch a bar properly. My fails are pretty rare but horrible to watch because I just won't let go! 3 Link to comment

They do say it a LOT in the new BSG though.Must re-watch Firefly actually Coincidentally this was my attire for the gym today: Very nice. I tend to look like a slob at the gym. Today was a very old green t-shirt with a pocket and beat up old sweatpants. In fact the sweatpants were chosen because the pocket is torn inside, so I can clip my iPod to it, run the cord thru the hole and up inside my t-shirt because I HATE having my shirt untucked. Sometimes I wear a Jameson Irish Whiskey t-shirt a bartender I know gave me, it says "Respect the Shot" on the back. I always find it funny to wear that to the gym.

Cat in the rack Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Protip for music, get some wireless headphones, I got mine like a month ago and it's made my training so much better now I don't have to prevent my phone falling out or worry about the wire being yanked out my ears midlift.I wear what I think are running shirts, they were all gifts and I figure I don't have anything better to wear, though I do have some old t-shirts from my old days of being fat but I think they'd be too baggy to lift comfortably in. I've been thinking I might order some shirts off of broscience for the gym.While on the subject of gym clothes, I've been wearing a pair of Nike running shoes (heel is thicker) for a while now but I've heard flat shoes are much better. Should I switch to converse for lifting, anyone? I've got a pair that I don't use very often and I've seen people using them and saying they're great. 2 Follow me on snapchat or instagram @ catintherackSquat: 115kgBench: 77.5kgDeadlift: 130kgTotal: 322.5kgWeight: 68kg Link to comment

My feet are flat as pancakes too, so I tend to avoid arch supports in shoes or remove them if possible. 2 My character: https://www.nerdfitness.com/character/58572/ Current Challenge:http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/83683-mark-d-walks-up-to-a-barbell/ Previous Challenges: 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Link to comment

AlexCold Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 While on the subject of gym clothes, I've been wearing a pair of Nike running shoes (heel is thicker) for a while now but I've heard flat shoes are much better. Should I switch to converse for lifting, anyone? I've got a pair that I don't use very often and I've seen people using them and saying they're great. You always want the most stable platform for lifting heavy weights. This prevents wasted energy into the sole of the shoe and more importantly helps prevent injuries from having a rolled ankle or such. As for chucks, they're pretty good for some. I have wide feet, so they don't work out so good for me as the sole isn't wide enough. Despite what people say, they do compress slightly, but much less than any running shoe. My go to shoe right now is the Crossfit lite TR. It's like a Chuck meant for powerlifting, instead of playing basketball in the 1950s. But if you've got the chucks, give them a try with your lifts. 1 Pinterest: Alex's Paleo Wins - Recipes on Pinterest Instagram: alexcold23 MFP: dalex916 Link to comment
Mark D Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Do you change when it comes to cardio or just keep using them? What is this cardio of which you speak???? From what I've read on the subject of weight lifting shoes, some people advocate Chucks or something similar (Mehdi of Stronglifts fame for instance), some advocate weight lifting shoes with a heel (Mark Rippetoe for instance). Seems to be a matter of personal preference. I wear the Chucks because I'm cheap and so are they, and at my level they do everything I need them to do. The big problem with lifting in running shoes is that the soles are squishy, and therefore unstable. Chucks are softer than actual weightlifting shoes. Some people lift in just socks too, or in Vibrams or other minimalist shoes. 3 My character: https://www.nerdfitness.com/character/58572/ Current Challenge:http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/83683-mark-d-walks-up-to-a-barbell/ Previous Challenges: 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Link to comment
Br0din Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Do you change when it comes to cardio or just keep using them? I do, I like the minimalist shoes for my running, but as they have a negative heel drop, they aren't the best squats/DLs. Now, if you tell anyone that I run, I will deny it like a 7yo when confronted about the missing cookies. 2 May Br0din bless you with mighty gains, and may your shaker bottle always be full.
