Hmm I see.
It's likely a combination of both. Acute inflammation + dehydration + prolonged immobility = risk of thrombus formation.

Already had a couple sessions in them. Pretty noticeable improvement over Chuck's I'd say. Loving them so far! I'm at 315lbs @ 5x5 on my squats, which I've done before the previous time I did 5x5. I'm definitely interested if I can blow past my 1RM of 435, though! Time will tell!

What is it about these that makes it so much better for squatting? Is it primarily because it elevates your heels, which makes it easier to keep your body from leaning forward and having your heels lift off the ground if you lack the flexibility?

I've been flirting with the idea of getting some proper shoes instead of a pair of Vans. I've tried barefoot too.
The comfort level is that much better, eh?

Gorgeous. Let us know what you think.

Weight is steady 185 -190 lbs, but I'm looking more flat which I assume is due to the HIIT. I miss the pumped look weight lifting provides.

just do some pushups
That and the fact they are so stable. Your legs get glued to the ground.
I've got quite a few, but we have something in common with the cubital. In the end, I needed surgeries in both my elbows to fix the problem.

The ground shake effect on the cam was cool.
Also that is RIDICULOUS. Well done!

They're designed specifically for olympic weightlifting. The lifts are like a deadlift, followed by a squat, followed by a press.
However, most people feel comfortable squatting with a much wider stance than the one they use for deadlifting.
Heeled shoes allow you to squat deeper while maintain a typical deadlift stance, making it much easier to keep coordinated when performing the lifts.
EARTHQUAAAAAAAKE!
Indeed.

I need some advice about 5/3/1... So I'm onto my third cycle using the Wendler log app and yesterday I had Overhead Press. I may be because I was very conservative about my 1rm numbers when I had to input them for my first cycle but it's now wanting me to do 16reps to get a new pb on my amrap set. If the idea is to increase strength isn't that kind of rep count not ideal?
Doesn't seem like I can recalculate my 1rm (so that It can give me the 90% numbers) without restarting the whole thing and losing all my detailed progress stats.

Nice! I favor the Romaleos, but either of the two are awesome IMO. I don't know if I could live without them anymore honestly.

You know, I don't think I'd have the balls for eating out and intermittent fasting if I wasn't trim. You get some strange looks when you start asking for multiple mains. XD
I can only imagine that they expect to look up from their notepad and see a whale.

WTF. I don't know if 30lbs in 3 weeks is healthy man. I mean good on you whatever you did but... What was your starting and ending weight? And what did you do to do this?

Ugh, that fucking sucks. I know just how frustrating that can be. Fear not, you'll return even more committed to kicking arse.
Cheers buddy.
195 to 165. Diet and exercise (hour+ of cardio, weights, stretching, push ups and chin ups daily - in part to help address chronic back issue), but mostly stopped empty* calories. I drop/gain really fast. Always have. Probably drop 5 more but I'm basically done. 5'10" and 160 is ideal.
* I'm definitely missing those :-(

Nope. Looks like I won't hear until morning.
On the brighter side, I spent a good part of my day putting things into perspective. Regardless of whether or not I have a fracture, I'm still able to cycle and do most of my weight training.
This is also one of the least important races to me, the most important being one of the half marathons in the fall to raise money for my daughter's school district.
It's also not the fucking Olympics, so I guess I can chill. My training hasn't gone to waste. I'm faster than I've ever been and don't need a shitty bottle-opener 'medal' or official time to prove it.

Best of luck dude. Keep us updated.

Those actually look great. Would it be weird to wear them out on the town?

Good luck dude!
If they look good, why not? I sometimes wear my Adidas Adi Luxe out and about.
If you don't mind walking around in heels
I can't imagine strolling around town in those would be comfortable all day...maybe that's just me.

I do, but pretty much every diabetic does as a precaution. No real issues, tbh.

Ha I know. Should have worded it different, but not implying the vid was edited.
Yes. The sole is very hard and not that comfortable.
