Aren't you like 6'6"?

 

This. This helped along with @Supra TT saying look down. I leaned back more at the bottom and drove with my heels. Almost felt like I was going to fall back but my form looked much better. Thanks y’all.

 

Well shit. I missed all the fun. Just like I missed chest day, obviously.

 

Glad to help

 

Gotta do 405 for reps in 8 weeks at my comp sounds easy but trying to get that muscle memory stuff better so I can still have a good form even when exhausted

 

I’m not even 6’ with squat shoes on.

 

Oh

 

6’6” and 165 is @Kerleyfries

 

What shoes you got? I didn’t like the adidas adipower I had but I’ve been reading and reading that I should get some sort of lifting shoe for the overhead stuff and deadlift stuff I gotta do in the comps.

not trying to buy every “helps you lift” accessory there is but belt and shoes seems like top priorities

 

You’ll get it!

 

I wear nike romaleos II.

you don’t want to deadlift in a heeled shoe.

 

I gotta do some overhead stuffs and some deadlift stuffs and some walking with 500lbs on my back stuffs. Wondering if there’s a all around shoe or if I need to buy pairs for certain lifts. Complicated shit. I’ll show up and be the only fucker in Vans lol

 

No. You need different shoes for different events.

Squat shoes for overhead and squats

Flat sole low shoe for deadlift or barefoot

Flat sole solid shoe or some type of combat style or hiking boots on farmers/yoke.

 

A good pair of basketball shoes are good for farmers/yoke too.

 

Gah. Sounds expensive. Bout to goto thrift stores and look for shoes. also was reading that it’s handy to have a soft belt and a leather belt as well. One for deadlifts and one for overhead shit.

I need a equipment list for this sport lol.

I posted in my strongman group asking for shoe recommendations

 

Ive got some nike romaleo 3’s in an 11 I’d sell you cheap ish

 

You're 6'6" and wear a size 11?...

 

I’m 6’0 180lbs, he was joking about me being 6’6 lol

 

Ohhhhhhh. I see now.

 

Woke up this AM and could barely move, apparently finishing up barricades plus a workout was intensive.
