The Official PL Family Appreciation Thread: Part X

[darren.dugan]

I was clowning on a guy in the gym today that was getting pumped to pull 275 for a single in his hoodie with his velcro belt. They guys I normally lift with were all talking about this guy all day. He came up to me later and talked to me....

HoodieBro: Hey man did you have a good workout
Me: Yeah it was alright
HoodieBro: Yeah most guys don't deadlift like we do
Me: Yeah I know (giving him the bertstare)
HoodieBro: That's why they are not strong like us
Me: Yeah
HoodieBro: keep hittin those deads bro

Yeah he called me bro in real life. This guy is gonna drive me nuts.

They may have more of a heal since the height of the heal goes up as the shoe size gets bigger as well. The 2013 pendlays look like Romaleo knock offs. I've been able to try out the Reebok, Adidas, and Nike's now and will stick with the Adipower just because of how they fit. The Reebok's were perfect for what they were made and that's multiple events in crossfit but didn't feel like they were as stable as the Nike's or the Adidas. The Romaleos were pinching on my toes to much otherwise felt really solid and were the heaviest of the three and stiffer. Though the AdiPowers had a slightly wider heal on the ground the inside felt like my heals and foot was cradled more which if you have flat feet the Romaleos would be better. The Adipower is tighter around the top of my foot but the Romaleos pinched my toes a lot more. The AdiPower got the shoe laces and strap the right size if that maters but could have better color options

Dammit, I have size 13 feet so they probably do have more of a heel. Romaleo's could be tighter on the top of my foot and shorter straps. Man, maybe I shoulda got the AdiPower's... that color is just so damn "loud" .... I wonder if Rogue would let me exchange them

Damn 13 would definitely have a bigger heal but I don't know by how much. From what I've seen posted 9-10 is about .75". I tried on a 10 and it felt like about the same height as the AdiPowers and Reeboks which is .75" Rouge has a good exchange policy from what I've seen and what they have posted on their site.

Edit and yes it is a loud color but I kind of like it. Red with orange tinge to it.

[Jason2459]

I guess I have a wider then normal foot but the way the AdiPower is designed the shoe laces allows for it to get wide enough to be barebly snug for me and would most likely allow you to tighten it down pretty good. The first rung is really wide out there unlike most shoes that get narrower to the front of the foot. You can see my foot pressing the shoe about as wide as it will go. I tuck the laces now under the strap so they wont come undone.

[Jason2459]

Darren do you still use that efs belt you mentioned in that belt thread? Paul? Is it still uncomfortable or did it break in?

I have an Inzer, but its single prong and I'm considering buying a lever. I'd like to buy it there since ill be getting a nice gift card from them for Christmas.

If you want to get a belt from EFS get the new P2 power belt... edit never mind you want to get a lever. Ask for an Inzer or lifting large/titan gift certificate.

hnnnggg I want that P2 belt so damn bad.

it is pretty sick. I like black belts more though (kind of gay. i know we aren't picking out purses but I think black looks cooler)
elite is pretty good about adding products or redoing them right after i buy something. always makes me rage.

i got an inzer forever single prong. then EFS puts out belts.
I buy an SS yoke bar, 3 months later and they've revised it and it looks and seems way cooler. better handles, no powdercoating, and sick logos on the pads.

How's it gay? I waited two extra months for my Inzer 13mm lever just to get it in forest green. Now if only I could find somewhere to get a pint embroidered on it.

that would be pretty sick.

I duno I felt a little gay while typing it, but if I'm dropping serious cash on something I think it's okay to want to look cool. I haven't heard a lot of good stuff about the econo elite belt, but I almost scored one just because they look badass with the strong(er) logo on them. I really like my inzer belt, for some reason mine hasn't broken in very much though.

Harveys

One question, why are the buns "flour-dusted" ?

[getout87]

These past few weeks of training have been stupid. Thanksgiving, work training, out of town meets, blah. I'm excited to get this meet through so that I can get back to training. Which seems retarded to say.

[Doollas]

LMAO by who? Has he got any new videos?


Bro's, I leave NM Dec 21, start new job January 2. Can't wait, just wish I had some publications...makes me feel like a failure grad student. Hopefully submit first one in next month.

so does mine and all i did was stretch...gonna spank an el grande burrito before strongman tomorrow...i'm not leaving w/o a 300lb axle dead...

[ampUP11]

Anyone think training in the morning fasted is detrimental to strength gains? Just looking for a straight forward answer thats all

No, but if you are worried, sip on some bcaa's during workout.

[coachdeez]

Axle's broken, brah...how about a 300 lb keg carry?

[Trah275]

poop...hopefully have a guy coming to look at my car tomorrow so i hope to be home by 6-7...

[simp3204]

using bands as an intermediate raw lifter.... lol funny stuff in here

?

Yeah?

This

You are not allowed to use bands until you high squat and bench press with your butt off the bench as much as LIME does. Going vegetarian and growing out the jew fro are optional.

Loled hard

Will they even let you train there? I think the crossfit places around here are mandatory that you do their stuff... Like you can't just go in and have a squat day lol.

All the boxes I know of around here require you to do their WODs.

[ampUP11]

Aren't there hours in their daily schedules where people can go in and train a specific movement or do individualized training? My friend works out at a local Crossfit and she said some guys go in during breaks in the WOD blocks and do their own training...

Since the crossfit games are in California, the crossfit crowd here is ridiculous. The ones in my area are pretty much all pompous azzholes and typically refuse to allow anyone to go in and do their own training. Obviously there are going to be a few boxes that are open to making money, but most here don't.

the one that is going into my gym will be a separate part of the place, not just a solo box, so people will still have the ability to access the gym anytime. You just have to pay an extra amount monthly to do the WOD classes. Ghey.... but whatever they are going to be adding in more platforms, power racks, and prowlers.... so it might turn out well.

No. You will most likely be weaker in the morning due to not moving around at all and being in a fasted state, but it is better than nothing at all and you will still be adding strength....just not realizing it until you are training in an optimal environment.

I trained at 4:30 am for a couple years before work....got stronger.

Axle's broken, brah...how about a 300 lb keg carry?

F*ck keg carries....f*ck them hard.

We should open up our own crossfit gym in Cali and charge people out the a$$ and make dem money gainz.

Every time I read something on here of this nature I think of this story. I'm not just talkin bout nutrition questions either but the overall overthinking and worrying bout chit that just aint that important.

"At the World wrestling championships in Sofia, Bulgaria in 1971, Dan Gable won the gold medal in freestyle wrestling. The next morning, Dan’s roommate woke up and could not find Dan. Later, Dan’s roommate said in an interview, “As the rest of us slept in dreaming about our victories or sulking about our losses the day before, Dan woke up early and went out running in the streets of Sofia.” Less than 12 hours after winning a World championship, Dan Gable woke up and continued his pursuit. He was focused on the road, not the temporary parking spaces."
