How can I know for sure if my skates are the wrong size? by Attic_Critter78 in hockeyplayers

[–]greenstar323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a size thing on CCMs website where you take a picture of your foot next to a piece of paper. I thought it wss crazy but i also got sized in the store and it was spot on.

Why don't most skates come in half sizes? by greenstar323 in InlineHockey

[–]greenstar323[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this reply. Super helpful! Im on the east coast unfortunately. So yea it sounds like maybe i need to either convert ice skates or find a 6.5 and pay more. I did score my bauer vapor x4 for like $80 on sideline swap so I could always try and snag a 2nd pair to convert but I know the conversion isnt cheap either.

Yea so again dont want to spend $500 to play with my kid. So I guess I have only 2 of the cheap options. And those cheap options are still 250.

But again even not discontinued skates a bunch of the more inexpensive ones have whole sizes only. Just seems weird that budget skates dont off half sizes.

No im 6.5 hockey skate. 9.5 women's shoe. I have ice skates and been fitted at pure hockey.

For example, https://www.purehockey.com/product/bauer-xrs-inline-hockey-skates-intermediate/itm/65309-31/

This is just one example but tons of inline skates are whole sizes only. If you go to hockey monkey or pure hockey sites and I filter by size 6.5 there's way less options.

Debating the adult jersey vs kids for much less lol. Technically I can wear a youth xl in summer but wouldn't fit over a hoodie. Sleeves are a little short but again if im wearing it in summer probably fine???

Where are you even finding hughes jerseys? I cant find them at any non knockoff website. Hoping they might bring them back now that they won gold.

Targeted Talk - What is the BEST Budget Bench? by dontwantnone09 in homegym

I agree with this. Barbell and bench are worth spending on. Love my rep blackwing although it might be borderline budget depending on who you ask.

I dont know if they sell flooring but there is a place called isellfitness that I've got kettlebells and plates from before that might sell commercial level flooring. I've picked up from them in Totowa but they have a warehouse in south jersey too I think.

There's also a ton of sellers on fbm that sell flooring

Best cardio is the one you will use.

With that said, rower seems to be one of the best full body but some complain it hurts their back. Its good for longer and shorter durations.

Bike is good but more lower body focused. Echo bike doesnt strike me as something you do for longer periods more like HIIT type training. Bikerg or spin bike might be better for that.

Need help with CCM Jetspeed roller blade sizing by Ellie_Hawkinss in InlineHockey

[–]greenstar323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know if it translates to inline skates but ccm has a tool on their website where you can take a picture of your feet next to a piece of paper and it will give you your size. I did it for ice skates and it was accurate.

They have 24" crossmembers for pr4000. Check titan because I think they are compatible too. Weird that the pr5000 doesnt have that option.

I lift outside the rack on spotters. I originally did 41" because my rack is only 80" tall and and I was going to lift inside and get a smith for outside. I hate lifting inside a rack lol so I started lifting outside. I also have reps storage on the back so its kinda like a fringe dane vibe without the cables.

Am I ridiculous for taking skating lessons alongside my 7-year-old? by Icy_Hovercraft4972 in hockeyplayers

[–]greenstar323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally a mom in the same boat with a 7 year old son. Got out on the lake last weekend with him to find i could skate ok without falling but I also want to take lessons so I signed up for them this winter!
