Are Converses really that great, or will any reasonably hard soled high top work just as well? Im constantly getting recommended them, but theyre like $70 and don't really seem too different from most other shoes.
Also thoughts on hybrid shoes like Rebbok Crossfits?
I just bought a pair of chucks, but I actually lift.
So far I have only had them a day so I've squatted in them. They are better than the air force 1s I was wearing. Chucks are 60 bucks when they're expensive. They run a half size big. Approved by me.
No, they're the memest of shoes.
Hybrids are also shit - they do nothing well except make Reebok / Nike / etc. money because crossfitters will buy anything.
I squat in oly shoes and recently started deadlifting in them. The little extra quad activation has increased my pulling poundage.
Chucks, skate shoes, etc. are shit to lift in.
What are your lifts?
Bro just go to a secondhand store and buy them you'll probably find one your size for like 10$
Squat: 228 kg
Bench: 148 kg
Deadlift: 232 kg (my squat was higher than my deadlilft until recently)
>my squat was higher than my deadlilft
I'll never understand people like this.
>squat more than deadlift
>trust me guys you should deadlift in oly shoes
Are you fucking kidding? This fucking belongs on /fa/ you retard.
Chucks are cheap.
My DL was lower than my squat as well due to injury.
You never know what people are going through.
You just fight your own fight fuckwads. You're all small and if you can't timestamp your body, that fact is irrefutable.
