Here are the specs from Adidas themselves. Go down to the singlets and see that both say same fabric and features. Only some small differences cosmetically but a pretty big price difference, ~$30-40 cheaper. Weightlifting:...

In your personal opinion, what is your favorite type of bar to dead-lift with? Standard bar? Trap bar? and.. why?

3 weeks ago I started lifting Oly with a certified coach w/ local titles. We spent the first week on form, and he said I was already looking great. Second week I did a 1RM on clean (I'm a physically fit personal trainer, who, while new to Oly has lifted for years and grasped Oly lifts quickly). He...

Now my max is 155. Im 5'9" and weigh 145 lbs. I ship to Marine Corps boot camp in July and want to get...

Hey, After a recommendation from a friend, I started to do some power snatches and power cleans, and I just fell in love! Lol I started to look for a specific routine for weightlifting and I read about "Glenn Pendlay’s Training System for Beginning Weightlifters". The program is cool in my...

Never got into weightlifting since I was playing rugby ever since I was a kid but I started doing random C&J and snatching action at the end of sessions about few months ago if I feel like playing around. Squat: 230kg Deadlift: 240kg no belt, wearing weightlifting shoes, normal plates So...

Are the red adipowers being discontinued? I can't find them anywhere anymore!... Also.. are there winter sales for oly shoes? Thanks!

Hey I was wondering if you guys use hook grip on any other pulling or pushing exercises besides cleans. Also with cleans do you keep the hook grip throughout the whole thing or do you slide out the thumb with the jerk.

AFAIK Oly lifters doesn't do overhead squat (unless it's a complex) and still they have a strong snatch Just wondering if it's snatch balance necessary to do. My left shoulder is very uncomfortable when I do them, it hurts and snaps my rotator cuffs. Need some thoughts about this. thanks. :)

I am exclusively training the Front Squat after dropping back squats completely (harder on lower back). Front squats feel a lot more natural and better to me overall. I have been reading a bit on the Internet regarding front squats and the involvement of the hamstrings in the lift. I understand...

i got Adipowers for squats but tried them on deadlift and feel stronger when it comes to being planted and lockout, but not sure if the extra ROM and leaning forward is hurting me or not. My lower back is still straight Opinions? Chucks/barefoot vs Oly shoes for deadlift

I just had my rotator cuff surgery done. Does anyone here know if my recovery will be full and will I be able lift as much weight as I would have without the injury every happening? Have I lost strength and ability to fall freely for good? Both my sport - Football and Cricket - require jumping,...

When I lock out the weight in a push jerk my body's more or less in a verticle position (sometimes with my head tilted forward) but in some videos I see people seem to have a finishing position very similiar to that of a snatch balance/drop snatch. 1:05-1:09 rcUMWkX_hyg Are both...

my wrist is killing me, where it hurts to rack for front squats and the pain is intolerable when doing cleans. i've seen my RMT and she broke everything down for me. I did cleans 2 days later and the pain came back. i've rolled and stretched and done everything i could do but it's been almost 3...

This images are not nearly as large in the preview...nevermind about that warning Hi, I have been having pain in my right hand, especially during overhead lifts, that has been making it difficult to lift. It makes it difficult to properly catch a clean as well. I was wondering if any of the...

I have been wanting to try compression pants out during squats, to see if they feel any better than just shorts. Should I get a pair or too of these from ebay? Only $6 ...
