Most of these sound just like mine. Plus a screwdriver to adjust belt. It's way too full in all honesty, can never find what I want | |||

I don't know if you're new to lifting but if taking 400mg ibuprofen semi regularay sends you on a guilt trip then Powerlifting/strongman/olympic lifting might not be for you | |||

Fantastic squat mate. And any tips on stretches to being able to get the bar to rack like that would be appreciated. Massive squatting | |||

Massive fan of strongman, but what are the exact rules here. Is the lockout expected to be like an olympic style, held stationary and obvious? I mean I'm knocking savickas in no way, he's one of my favourite strongmen. Are these soft, brief unstable lockouts a common thing and are they generally given as good lifts? | |||

Don't know about heel height sorry pal, but worth considering the adipowers also. Love mine | |||

Oxman said:I'm trying to decide between the Nikes or the Addidas Adipowers? Any opinions, i'm swaying towards the Addidas at the moment Had the same choice to make myself, had never owned or used a pair of olympic shoes and since investing I'd say it's definitely added kgs onto my squat and I feel far more stable overhead. I went with the adipower after a friend of mine had a small complaint about his nikes, he claimed that the lace holes had elongated with long term use whereas the adipower have small reinforcements around the lace holes. Honestly mate you probably can't go wrong, I love my adipower, one of if not my best lifting investments yet. I'm sure the nikes are excellent too | |||

Brilliant journal this so far. I know you bench and squat twice weekly, with a relatively rigid routine based on percentages based on desired max. My question to you is this, so far it seems your deadlifts have followed a 5x5 routine, do you stick to this long term or do you have a routine you ever use which is similar to your squat and bench one, perhaps based on a desired or current max percentages? Nice strong work buddy | |||

Killelay said: I don't really think deadlift is a huge indication tbh with you, front squat maybe, but like i said, nothing hugely transfers other than practice practice practice. Think I need to set up a YouTube channel, easier for people to give advice then. If it's front squat I'm well and truly f**ked, most ever done is 140kg, not flexible to have olympic clean style hold and with crossed arms can't seem to keep bar from rolling down onto delts and biceps. Will be trying again midweek, hopefully with more success. Thanks again fellas | |||

Incredible power and grip. Also the speed at which he pulled it. What's his max with straps and strongman style? Savage | |||
