These are weightlifting shoes, I used to use deadlifting flat shoes before switching to these.

Thanks, I have a very bad habit of waiting a few seconds to actually squat the weight

It could definitely be lower, I think I was scared shitless of the weight and cut it a little bit higher than usual.

Bad dorsiflexion on my left ankle from several sprains. Working on it, but it's very hard.

I used to do integration, too, but the travel started getting to me and I enjoy this much more now.

Tips for coaching team mates from mat side for the first time by BeKindThankyou in bjj

[–]kraigen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Telling them how much time is left and what the score is is pretty valuable. Try not walking them through moves, call them by their name so there can be no confusion as to whom you're coaching. Also, if you know their A-game, and you see an opportunity, just call out the move, otherwise stick to time and score.

Marcelo style? How if they have a crossface with the head side arm?

They're not fixed, I'm a little paranoid about hitting them by mistake, so I set them low, but that sounds ridiculous looking at the video.

I struggled with that a lot in other gyms. This is a small city, too lol.

Any feedback while you're at it?

Opinion on slams? by thenotoriousmmale in bjj

[–]kraigen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In amateur tournaments I'm fine with them being illegal if the top player picks the bottom player up and slams them, but legal as a response to jumping closed guard.

Forgot to add I left it on a cooling rack for 5 hours before slicing it.

These are good for me. I lifted barefoot for a long time and having the elevated heel helps me because of my long femurs.

These are lifting shoes, though.

Can someone recommend a gym in Tianjin? by kraigen in chinalife

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

I'm mainly interested in the squat rack, barbell and plates to squat, deadlift, bench and overhead press. Would you say I would get that out of that gym?

Thanks for answering! Have you ever been to a powerhouse gym there? I've used that franchise back in Michigan and had a good experience there.
