All of the shoes described below are great, including the cheapest options. Heel height is personal preference.
Remember to look for sales. They're very common.

The cheapest one of all is the VS Athletics.
It's the shoes NORRIS uses for almost a decade. That says enough about their quality.

I've only heard good things about the Warrior, never seen or heard about the Zen.
However, the Athletics VS is on sale for even less than 50 bucks, and is the shoes Jesse Norris has been using for almost a decade, in competition and in training!

My girlfriend sucked my dick before I went to the gym today. Busting a nut caused me to loose a lot of much needed energy.
While I was deadlifting my last rep, my form went to shit and I accidentally scooped the barbell under my penis. This caused me to lightly squish my penis. No damage was done to my penis, but it still hurt enough for me to go to the bathroom and check to see if there was any swelling.
Lesson learned, no sex before the gym.

Hi /plg/ I'm the 65/50/70 guy from last night, not sure if this is the correct place to post this but here goes:
I started SS today and i did 40 for squats 37.5 for bench 50 for deadlift For 3x5
My legs are really weak. my butt rises up first when i squat (i went ATg/lower than parallel) , and at the initial pull for deadlifts my hips/right quad sort of moves inwards and it feels weird. I had no problems pulling it up when i got past that stage though
Should I go lower with the weights and work on form or will i miss out on the 'beginner gains'?
Ps when i warmed up with the bar my form looks okay with the hip drive for squats and deadlift. I have no video because i went by myself but i think i can get someone to film me during the next visit
Kayden Diaz
Max reps on the last set of every workout for the big 3 is fun as
Just got to keep the rpe and form under control
Jason Martin
yes, lower it and work on form. record yourself and post here
no, you will not miss out on noob gains in any way
Gavin Price
Do a weight you can do with good form then slowly increase from there
Connor Sullivan
Alright thanks guys, will get a video soon on Wednesday!
Lincoln Williams
>yesterdays threads were ultimate comfy >trappy returns >threads get absolute garbage

Zachary Gray
they don't have my size :c
Christian Martinez
Trappy was in yesterday's threads too friendo!
You should start SS with a weight that's moderate and comfortable, not your current max.
Lower it and focus on having perfect form. Then add weight on every workout from there.
You'll get strong fast, grow muscle fast, and avoid injuries.
Colton Johnson
You guys should edge before going to the gym.
I have a quick 5 minute routine I do before gym.
I think it helps but I still need to do it more to really find out. I can definitely say it doesnt hurt.

There are no studies on this. I am sailing new seas here.
Appreciate what I do or I will stop.
Im not doing this just for me, im doing it for everyone.

upon a little research it seems the only difference is that the upper sole is bicast leather instead of ox leather (when compared to the warriors).

You should be fine then. The Warriors are often recommended and considered excellent for the price.

Adidas Powerlifts are p fuckin sick
Anthony Sullivan
Well, the Adidas Powerlift are often for sale as well. Maybe check for those?
Mason Allen
actually already have em kek. was just curious about picking up some shoes with a higher heel
Ryder Miller
If you're feelin real fuckin crazy, you can find a good cobbler who can build you a heel onto your PLs
Owen Gutierrez
Power Perfects are also often for sale on ebay and european stores. Not as common in north american though, it's not produced for that market anymore.
Robert Ortiz
DUDE I saw a guy in my gym the other day who was wearing the same pl2's as me but he had probably a good .25inches of extra, black rubber on the bottoms
Mason Allen
Was he per chance a gold medal weightlifter?
Bentley Foster
no! but he was a twink with a hookgrip shirt and squatted more than I expected
In this pic we have some very rare shoes, the limited colours of the Adidas PL1s.
Hancott famously has the red and black PL1. He says they're more resilient than the Adipowers, even.
Red Silver -> common Black Blue -> common Grey Black -> common White Orange -> rare af Cyan Lime -> rare af Red Black -> rare af
They are so rare you can barely find their pictures AT ALL on google.

What's the deal with oly shoes? Why would a powerlifter want to wear those anyway?
Luis Wright
Some people benefit from being more upright on the squat.
Parker Garcia
Me too ;) They're cute af pic related
Mobility for squats and bench. Not everyone needs or likes them, specially if they squat lowbar.
For highbar is pretty much a must though.
Evan Price
Some of us have ankle mobility so bad we need them even for lowbar squats, and they're max comfy for benching.
Thomas Moore
I've been squatting in nike airs the last couple of weeks and tbf squatting feels so much easier in them compared to flat soled shoes, even considering the fact that the sole is rubber. Might have to look into getting me a pair of oly shoes
Jace Martin
Don't signal me with paralinguistic respiration you asshole
Christopher Robinson
So do you bring two pairs of shoes to the gym then if you squat and deadlift on the same day? Or do you just pull barefoot?
Levi Wilson
Give a look at the list at the start of the thread. Some of them are very cheap and very good, like the adidas powerlift, the vs athletics, and the wei-rui warrior.
Either deadlift barefeet, or change into deadlift slippers or chucks/wrestling shoes.
Deadlifting in heels is very rarely a good choice for a powerlifter.
Andrew James
I always have my gym bag with me, and it has both my shoes in it, as well as my belt, wraps, slanger, chalk, etc.
Henry Scott
Ray vs Jezza is gonna be HEATED this year. Jez is muuuuch stronger than he was in 2016.
Hunter Bailey
I just noticed how happy the spotter on his right is when he finishes the lift. :)))
Isley says Ray is one of the humblest guys in the scene, and a really nice person.
Justin Lopez
The two spotters hanging out in the very back are the two that almost killed Kelly.
Ryder Kelly
yep
For those that haven't seen it yet.
Eli Jones
Nick? Or someone else?
>My legs are really weak. my butt rises up first when i squat (i went ATg/lower than parallel)
Stop squatting high bar. Stop squatting ATG. Squat low bar to legal depth.
Do video yourself next time if you can, if you'd like more accurate help.
This is good advice. But READ THE FUCKING BOOK first. You can download it off Pirate Bay if you don't want to pay for it.
At least watch the YouTube videos explaining how to do the lifts. You clearly have zero clue what you're doing and you need to leave Veeky Forums to really get one.
Isaiah Reyes
But the IPF is a serious and credible fed guys, I swear!
James Richardson
has the huehue trappy claims to be ever posted a shoe-on-head timestamp in this thread or is trappy just some sad lad regurgitating SS knowledge and stealing some girl's facebook pics?
Thomas Flores
A bit of quick amazon'ing implies most of these are men's shoes. Ignoring the issue that I'd need a size 6 (most brands don't go that small) in men's to have any hope of it fitting, would there be issues wearing men's shoes with female feet?
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19767544 tells me there's non-trivial differences in shape, beyond simple scaling. I wear unisex skate shoes for lifting ATM (knock-off vans), but they're loose enough fitting that I don't think there's any relevant shape differences.
If its a bad idea, any suggested cheap-tier women's lifting shoes?

Why is trappy held on a pedestal as if her opinions mean shit? Spare me waifu faggot shit. Give me something that "she's" done that gives her notoriety and respect. Seriously, I see "trappys picks" in the shoe post. Why the fuck should that matter? Who the fuck is "she" and what qualifies her over anyone else with the same amount of "her" basic knowledge?

Did /owg/ died?
Anyway, learn how to rack the bar. You are that dipshit catching the bar with your hands instead of your anterior delts. Just practice unracking the bar in appropriate front squat position (not the bodybuilder style turdery) with some weight on the bar to get the feeling.
Then practice pulling the bar upand catching it on your shoulders. It's going to require a LOT more of elbows "up" and forward than you currently have.
While you're doing that, you can also practice keeping your fucking arms straight when you pull. Your elbows are bending. Locking out and internally rotating your arms at set up can help. By which I mean, making the inside of your elbow joint face more inward and towards you, instead of outward and away in front of you.
Also, get some weightlifting shoes. Adidas Powerlifts are fine.
