hi guys, i'm pretty new here, so hope you guys can give some pointers
my brother is crazy into weightlifting. his birthday is coming up soon and i wanna buy him a new pair of shoes thats suitable for weightlifting. his previous pair of shoes were converse shoes, i asked him why and he said that the shoes should be flat heeled? its his birthday and i wanna buy him a nicer pair of shoes but yet "flat heeled" too. i use a pair of puma combat shoes for my taekwondo class ( http://www.shop.puma.com/Jiyu-V-Women'...d.html?search=1 ) , which are kinda flat, but not sure if its gonna suit him these are the shoes i have in mind for him http://www.shop.puma.com/Jiyu-V-Combat-Sho...d.html?search=1 are they any good? or should i still buy him a pair of converse shoes?
ok,i do weightlifting as well,not a hardcore one la..so how do u put that.. i lift weight 4 times a week.. cardio..3-4 times a week.. more into maintainance of muscle la i guess..sorry..i maybe wrong..
Bah......my sport has been bastardized.
This is weight training
THIS, is weightlifting.
Weightlifting has only a few shoes worth considering. Adidas, Nike, for the high ends. Do-Wins, Asics for the others. Risto sports have horrible shoes, mine warped
I don't see anything wrong with futsal shoes. I don't think the cause of pain is due to the shoes. Knee pain is also be caused by muscle imbalances, tight muscles, etc. and where is the pain coming from ? upper, lateral, down patella(knee cap)
for instance if its coming from the down part of the patella , tight rectus femoris (maybe) , stretch them. I better stop here. It's dangerous to diagnose online, get help if it;s debilitating.
I've got a torn lateral meniscus. I'm probably visiting Jonathan in Singapore to ask him about it. IF that's no help, I might find a CHEK practitioner in KL and see what they say about it. I'm going to get a bottle of Sinew-Plex from him when I get there end of this or next month. Previously when it warm, it won't hurt. Now warm not warm, also pain. Squat also difficult. Might need operation if all doesn't work.
man that sucks. Ice the joint, heat the muscle they say. Ice it and aspirin to alleviate the pain. I hope a speedy recovery for you, it gets disheartening at times, I broke my ankle around march this year, it's been a long way rehabbing it and still can't get past the occasional "mind F*ck" during squats.
How have u been training pizza ?
Just train as usual. Hard, heavy and stupid. When it's warm its still quite fine. Relatively comfortable with the wraps (medium tight) and the sleeves (tight sleeves). May be getting a pair of Tommy Kono Neoprene sleeves if I can contact my Singaporean friend to get it before he gets back from US.
