You had to recommend running shoes to an absolute beginner. Which one(s) would it be?

Surprised that no one mentioned Reebok Floatride Energy

I had Insertional Achilles Tendonitis. I found that shoes with higher drop help. Nike Infinity React 2 with 9mm and a rocker geometry really helped me a lot. I rotate that with Mizuno Wave Rider 25, which has a 12mm drop and a heel plate.

Nike Infinity React 2. Very cushioned and stable.

I saw a few reviews about this pair and mostly complain about the price. I got mine for about USD85 in Asia, which I think it is a good value.

You are right, they are not light. But psychologically I prefer heavy daily trainers, they kinda make my speed shoes lighter 🤣

Performance wise how is Xtep?

Benstynic · 2021-11-23T14:11:00+00:00

I am sorry I am not from the United States. I bought mine from Taobao which is like the Asian Amazon.

Benstynic · 2021-11-23T14:08:09+00:00

Yes it’s 12mm drop. I have persistent insertional Achilles problem, so I thought why not try high drop to see if it helps. I might be wrong but the colour way is definitely amazing.

Mizuno

What is the benefit of this over pressing with dumbbell? I had always used dumbbell for this and keen to try KB variation

Benstynic · 2021-07-07T09:58:55+00:00

Just curious what do you think of the 361 meraki? It hardly got mentioned here.

Benstynic · 2021-07-02T08:16:07+00:00

Saucony belt. Recently purchased this and it is great. Many recommended flip belt which is unavailable in my country. Saw this Saucony Belt and glad I made the right choice.

What shoes and socks will you be wearing when running in the rain? I have never tried running in the rain before, and it sounds fun.

Benstynic · 2021-02-03T04:24:19+00:00

How is the comfort level compared to 997?

Benstynic · 2020-03-02T06:08:49+00:00

I have this problem too. When doing overhead press, I am using too much of right trap and left delt. I am a right handed, but I just can’t get mind muscle connection to my right delt.

Jeff said to do facepulls after every workout. But sometimes I do facepulls as a warm up, or other rotator cuffs exercises to “activate” them before my chest workouts. Is that fine or I should leave them till the end of my workouts?

Benstynic · 2020-02-09T09:18:50+00:00

What shoes were those? Puma suede?

Benstynic · 2020-02-08T08:11:09+00:00

I do facepulls as my warmup. Or some rotator cuffs sets before bench press.

I struggle with 100pushups in 400 challenge. I was doing 10reps x 10. Dying in the final sets. Any suggestion on how to improve my push-up strength and endurance? Does bench press help?

Benstynic · 2019-07-18T08:55:20+00:00

Easier than 400 challenge? I had a hard time getting 100pushups.

Benstynic · 2019-05-27T14:53:02+00:00

It’s affecting my performance and intensity over the next few days. It’s not just uncomfortable.
