My girlfriend started using her weightlifting shoes today, I gotta say im jealous. She said she felt way more stable and I could tell that her squats looked much better. After being pushed around today I will consider buying some.

There is an old pair of Adidas WL shoes at the Anvil not being used…If’n you are of a mind to try them first and are around a size 10.
Weightlifting shoes were the best lifting investment I have ever made. I got these: http://www.roguefitness.com/store/rogue_dowins.php
Clint- I was not aware of this. I will have to come in soon for some squats and try them on. I also want to see this mono lift you guys have now.
mrodock- How do they fit compared to a regular shoe? Did you wear chucks before the WL shoes?

I wore a 9 in the Chucks and an 8.5 fits perfect in the Do-wins. I am a wide stance squatter for the record. I kept feeling off balanced in the Chucks with my toes lifting up.
^^^^^ Thanks for the info. I will remember that if I decide to order a pair.

Back is feeling horrible under any weight so I stopped there. It feels like it wants to spasm so I was not going to risk it.
I will just get ready for heavy benching on monday.

405x10 - changed shorts to some old ones that I shredded a few weeks ago. They weren’t as bad so they did the trick. I was spooked though so I didnt go any heavier.
Its amazing how fast my strength and work capacity drop. I missed 1 heavy squat session and a couple of deadlifts and suddenly i’m a rookie. I am determined to get a 600lb squat vid up before the end of summer. 3x BW is the goal for the Raw Unity meet.

I was suppose to triple the 410 but for whatever reason I missed #3. I was angry so I took it for another double. Not sure what I will do about it next week, maybe back off and build up again. I really should not have missed it but I guess it happens.
Deads tomorrow, I have to start thinking of a plan for pulling, I will be looking for a 330kg pull at Raw Unity.
