deadlift 300kg conventional ? never gonna happen Member 414, 1127 posts SQ 275, BP 187.5, DL 317.5780.0 kgs @ 115kgs Eq | I felt like I got "toppled over" in my oly shoes when I used to wear them. Feel like a flat shoe suits my wider stance. | ||

as crimson as my last victims underclothing..... Member 899, 11371 posts SQ 180, BP 132.5, DL 190502.5 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 09.03.2011 @ 14:25 PM by Wiegieboard I wear the cons too. Converse re-issue like thesehttp://pixfr.eu/image/55f35120/ My stance isn't particularly wide though. I'd probably benefit from wearing oly shoes :/ | ||

The Adidas Combat Speed III's mate because i wanted them lightweight and as close to being barefoot as possible. For added support i'd recommend possibly the Adidas Extero IIs. Mate of mine has them and they look pretty solid, but a bit thicker. | ||
