Yung bawse Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Normally wear comfortable running trainers as I like to warm up properly first.. The most important part which most people forget/can't be bothered to do.. Then take trainers off for squats & deads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

local Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 glad im hearin guys take their trainers off  thought i was jus bein a twat  roshes r sort of high heelish so i dont feel right doin squats or deads witht em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yung bawse Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Depends on your flexibility when squatting, some people prefer flat foot and other people prefer raised heel.. Arny used to go bare foot but would put a wooden block under his heel which in theory makes it easier for people who lack flexibility but also puts extra stress on your knees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macz Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 whats the reasoning for taken shoes off when doing squads /Â deadlifts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YFSD Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 whats the reasoning for taken shoes off when doing squads / deadlifts? Can feel the ground better. More force as your not pushing through a sole Most trainers are pronated or the opposite (can't remember the name) so it will roll your ankles/knees in our out affecting form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niall Ferguson Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 what's your goal, fitness or weightloss? It's useful for either one (obv).  Is it the optimal thing for either one? Probably not. Even then though, it depends how fit you want to be/how much weight you want to lose.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lens Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 So my powerlift quiery a few pages ago solved A man saw me doing it, said im skipping the 2nd knee bend. When the weight's at my waist height, I was lifting with legs upright. A man saw and said bend my knees again before lifting above my head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time_bomb Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I see. This one dude telling me it's not good for you and footballers not allowed because it damages your knees  ah see now theres some truth in this, ive been told since young to avoid too much running as the impact on knees can be detrimental to skating/hockey, was always told to use bike or swim instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yung bawse Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Majority of people in the gym think they know it all.. As long as you're running with good form and have suitable footwear there will be no excessive stress on knees.. Running on road can be bad for your knees if you have an awkward running stance (foot pressure placement) and again poor footwear but nothin your average amateur has to worry about.. Like I said before the most important part is warming up as stretching and staying hydrated.. An ideal session would be *enter gym* 5 minute CV warm up Dynamic stretches (full body or the body part you're working) *Session* (starting each new exercise with a warm up set) 5 minute CV cool down e.g starting at a jog and gradually building down to a walk. Static stretches (body parts worked) Still have to warm up and stretch before a cardio session 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Luv Doc Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 So couple weeks ago I completed 5 sets of 10 at 100kg for bench press, my new one rep max is 130kg, for 2, which imo means I can go more...........but will have to wait until the new year.

Yung bawse Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 You said powerlifting along with "fair amount of reps" lol and didnt mention what exercise you were doing powerlifting for.. Then you said 28kg which is pretty much just the bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
