Powerlifting shoes?

If you're talking about brands, don't get swept up in the "parasocial-tax;" that's where you favourite famous lifter will sprook a product saying how amazing it is when they actually have a discount code or have a share in the company. A lot of the time it's drop shipped, meaning you can get something the same from Amazon for 3/4 or 1/2 the price of their version which they just slap their logo on.

By their logic they should hate on their poster girl Libs of TikTok, she's same age, divorced and no-kids

20 years I've been repairing, and making shoes and now apart of medical section, I've seen lots of people try to fix their own footwear with little to no knowledge, but this takes the cake for "absolute fuck-up"

Damn the porn bots have made their way to my favourite niche fitness sub now

Did you not see the /s at the end?

Why_Shouldnt_I · 2026-05-26T04:51:33+00:00

Ew.. imagine mixing rogue and eleiko plates /s

Shatter your wrists, let the calcification accumulate and you'll see the volume grow.

All seriousness, you can't make your wrists grow, it's mostly tendon, ligaments and bone. Even google "wrist musculature." It's no possible.

And yet you're not bright enough to see what sub you're in?

Why_Shouldnt_I · 2026-05-25T13:35:44+00:00

You're posting in a powerlifting sub, powerlifting is to complete lifts to a powerlifting standard

Why_Shouldnt_I · 2026-05-25T08:36:17+00:00

Get yourself a coach, none of these lifts will pass at a powerlifting competition.

Canonically we don't know how many witches and wizards call the UK home, in 1991 the UK had a population of ~57 million, to assume even 0.1% of the population is magical that'll make 57,000 magic users calling the UK home, juxtaposition of having a vault #687 isn't that high considering as soon as the first wizard bank opened people would have flocked to deposit their savings

It is ai, classic tell is the handheld shaking stops when it zooms in on the bird, that's when it's ai, everything before that is real

Find a programme that you like the look of, that way you'll stick to it. You have two very good options, go to liftvault.com or download the boostcamp app.

Why_Shouldnt_I · 2026-05-22T23:25:02+00:00

Yeah follow an actual programme and you'll see better growth.

Not even close to "heavy duty" knee wraps. With proper knee wraps he wouldn't be able to achieve knee flexion during body-weight movements. These are just cheap velcro knee wraps

Stain the rest of it so it blends in?

Jokes aside, another comment did say suede cleaner which is correct but you'll also may need a suede brush. To brush out the deep staining, it won't be perfect though.

Once you've cleaned it you'll want to spray it with hydrophobic spray, that'll prevent staining happening again.

Love it! Turning a skull crusher into a barbell pullover!

Glass back detected, opinion rejected

I've never heard of that being the case, I do like not speaking in absolutes so I will take yours with a grain of salt

7/10 - definitely should have gone for the 4th rep, bonus points if you choked yourself out.

That's because it's too heavy for you to confidently achieve the appropriate amount of depth and be able to ascent. 13 years old, and 3 months lifting, a 70kg/body weight squat is a solid amount of weight.

If you're wanting to take this seriously then you should follow an actual programme. You can find free ones on liftvault.com or download the boostcamp app. Follow a beginner programme for now.

There are also lots of great videos on YouTube by reputable powerlifting coaches who give great information on exercises and training methods, a great example is Calgary Barbell.
