You can always get an abbreviation, nick name, or f*ck it, anything you want put on that belt. Any colors/scripts/etc. I wouldn't recommend it for a powerlifter (I have an inzer 13 mm single prong for heavy deads and squats) but for an all around training belt they're nice and look awesome.Originally Posted by TTimmerman

Why do people care so much about shoes? Does it help your lifting?
I always train wearing $20 steel-toed work boots and I never thought anything of it until now. Would it be wise for me to wear something different?We're dodging more ninjitsu attacks than Flex Wheeler. We're ducking more bullets than George Farah. We're facing more death than a kid leg pressing at Branch Warren's gym.
You can't stop us. You can't hold us back.
IFBB brahs über alles.

It's really all about optimizing my workouts. There are days where I've worn flip flops to the gym. It doesn't really matter for most exercises what you're wearing on your feet, around your waist etc. but bodybuilding is my main hobby and I want to get the most out of my training sessions I guess.Originally Posted by BartPimpson

09-27-2011, 05:46 PM #17I doubt it makes a difference man. Although, I am getting a pair of Otomix for Christmas, I don't even care if it "helps" my lifts. I just believe having a pair and wearing them would help me mentally, like a placebo, yaknow?Originally Posted by BartPimpson

I usually wear a pair of Vans (skateboarding shoes) and a normal tee and gym shorts to work out. Special shoes and **** don't do a damn thing for someone like me (and a lot of you). But I can understand why people buy them and are into them. It can be pretty motivational to put on a pair of "gym" shoes and a special shirt or whatever. It can get you pumped are ready to lift hard, and for people it can give them a better mind-muscle connection.

I wear shoes that are so old they're more like leather slippers. I do like those Asics though Deano.
A pattern in the chaos.

not sure if they'd be good for a treadmill but i think you'd be okay for steppers, elypticals and bikes.Originally Posted by musclespro
I have an alternate question....what is with all the guys that wear deck shoes in the gym?Its not about thinking you can do it. Its about knowing it.

I've been using Nike Free 3.0 in the gym.
Flat sole, VERY easy to keep balance and posture in.Less than 11% bodyfat, and STILL no overly shown abs.

Funny you should say that my chucks have been with me for 4 yrs now. It's falling apart badly, but i can't bring myself to lift in enormous running shoes.Originally Posted by boosteddatsun

All you need in a weightlifting shoe is a flat outer sole that is incompressible. It would suck to be squatting crazy weight and have one of your Nike Air bubbles decide to pop. Goodbye knee! The lower your foot actually is to the floor the better too which is why wrestling shoes, boxing shoes or similar are good. Converse, skate shoes, and 100's of other shoes with decent solid soles are good too. I use these:
Deadlift 520lbs
Squat 405lbs
Bench 260lbs
