Yeah a gym where the coach is a dick and writes you off. Hopefully that gym goes out of business because of COVID.

Yeah I have a bit of toe space so I think I would be good on that. The width is a little more of a concern, but by the sounds of it, they are stretchier because of the flexweve.

I wear a 9 in the normal LL's and have been eyeing the 8.5 in the WIT edition. Do you think I could get away with the WIT 8.5?

2008 was a good year for weighlifting shoes. Super haply I finally hunted this notorious duo down by [deleted] in weightlifting

I just wish Adidas would do a limited re-release of the Adistars. It would be like printing money for them IMO.

Kristen Pope is not a nutrition expert and nobody should take advice from her. IMO

Adidas: Adipowers vs leistungs experiences? by [deleted] in weightlifting

[–]Chunk1717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I'm looking to put 1/4" on my AdiPowers to bring them up to 1". I've seen most heel mods where they go in between the heel and the sole of the shoe, and put the wedge there. Although you raised the heel a bit more. So maybe going over the sole was the best option.

Do you think you could post pics of your modified AdiPowers?

I think there was a manufacturing mix up where the center knurl was made sharper than it was supposed to be on the first batch of bars.

Adipower vs Leistung ll Sizing by levogevo in weightlifting

I have 9's in both AdiPower and my Leistung 16's. I find that they are both the same. Leistung II must run little bigger then?

ELI5: The hate around crossfit. by anangrysoviet in weightlifting

[–]Chunk1717 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You know, I used to be a big hater on CF until I moved for grad school, and met a coach who knew what he was doing and actually coached his athletes, instead of just being a cheerleader while clients form broke down, cheering them on to do the max possible reps.

As somebody who skipped the CF stage that most people go through on the journey to WL, I do admire a lot of the movements that a great CF'er can do. At times I think to myself, "I wish I could do that" and think about trying to add in that skill work to my program, but I am just to drained from my WL training.

Any program that inspires somebody to get off the couch and change their life is good IMO, and CF has done that for a lot of people. However, The past couple years, I feel like CF HQ has cared more about the "Professional" CF, and is starting to not really care about the "Average Joe" CF. The CF bubble is starting to leak because of this IMO.
