bozodos Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 got told off for squatting in socks today - put my shoes back on and did 4 reps before chucking the bar back in the hooks - f**k that. Hopefully my Chuck Taylor's turn up soon.

Dani Boi Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Any flat sole shoe will work ok. Just go to big w and get a $5 pair just for lifting in Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200767-gym-and-supplement-discussion/page/508/#findComment-7200115 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Vans Authentics...catch of the day always have them for $50 delivered. Unrelated, they are one of the most surprisingly comfortable shoes to wear casually, despite an appearance like it would have zero support etc. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200767-gym-and-supplement-discussion/page/508/#findComment-7200121 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozodos Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) I've already got a pair coming lol. Yeah well they're really just to cover my feet, if I could I'd squat and DL in bare feet. Feels really f**king wrong in trainers now. Got a few other guys squatting in their socks too now.

Birds Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I do all my exercises in running shoes because that's what I'm usually wearing when I need strength.

Birds Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I dunno man - the only time I'm putting a heavy barbell on my back or picking one up off the floor is at the gym...I play bball and the explosive strength from squats comes in handy for rebounds etc. Not that you can't build it otherwise and transfer; I just find the movement transfers easier if I'm training with runners that I wear when playing - I guess in the same way that you find it difficult to squat in runners, now that you've trained the mobility of the exercise into not using them. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200767-gym-and-supplement-discussion/page/508/#findComment-7200245 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bozodos Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 yeah well I suppose in the context of you playing a sport it makes sense Birds. alr33x: gym staff member noticed it. Surprising to only get told off now given that I've been doing it for quite a while, starting to get over this particular gym though - they're making it pretty obvious that they don't want serious lifters there apart from bodybuilding pretty boys.

Trozzle Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I've been told off for wearing socks a couple of times when I was going to Anytime Fitness, but given I'm friends with that location's owner, it's only because they HAVE to tell me off haha. I think it's for their insurance, gotta have closed toe shoes.

bozodos Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 which is a joke really, if I dropped a 20 on my foot it's going to break it no matter what I'm wearing.
