    i like flip-flops that have a good sole to them. i have to be careful with what shoes i wear. i think it was last year i got achilles tendinitis, had to wear ankle braces, and a thing in the back of my shoes. also had to stop wearing flats. still have no idea how the fuck it happened, but holy fuck, that shit sucked hard.

    I think Birkenstocks are where it's at. I've never had a pair, but everyone I've ever spoken to who has owned a pair swears by them.

    I own a pair but was never that impressed by them. The biggest problem I have with them is shit tends to get between the sole and your foot and it's a bitch to get out without taking off the sandal. I own a pair of pretty pricey Reef flips that I've had for over 10 years. They form fit like Birks but are way more comfortable imo.

    My biggest problem with flip flops, bikini, or overstrap, is that they always rub my skin raw if I wear them enough.

    Also while it's nice to just have soles on your feet and nothing else when it's super hot out, and it's easy to slip in and slip out, but they decrease your mobility so much-- I feel like a invalid, gimping around, unable to run, unable to walk fast, etc.

    I rock a pair of these in the hottest of summer and they stay on surprisingly well, and don't have any dominant painful rub spot:

    It's all about the brown leather Jesus sandal. Flip flops are shite. The only good thing about them is ease of putting on and taking off.

    I do have a pair, don't wear them with socks though. They are comfortable. No they don't look very cool.
  15. #9990
    I like those ^ more than I like those velcro strap sandals. And they do look waaaay more comfy.

    I don't have much room to talk about the looks of things, cause my dogbb chewed some of my flip-flop things up, but I don't care cause they're comfy, and still look kinda' okay. when I find a pair of flip-flops that are as comfy as these, these are gone.

    I even prefer crocs to flip flops. Open toe = bleeding foot for someone as clumsy as me.

    I guess that is all subjective. Personally I feel that wearing some sort of casual/athletic shoe with ankle socks >>> sandals as far as comfort. Nothing to rub your feet raw, no having to walk funny and readjust your feet, and it's much less likely that you get some sort of rock or other foreign object stuck under the bottom of your foot.

    Going to the beach is one thing or if it's 100 degrees out and wearing sandals is going to help alleviate that then that's one thing. My post was more geared to the serial flip-flopper who wears them with jeans when it's 60 out. I wonder whether he has thought through what would happen if someone accidentally dropped a bottle next to him, or if he got into a bad accident on the way home. Or is it weird that I think through unlikely possibilities? That's an honest question.

    ouch... I was actually thinking more along the lines of glass lands near your feet, shatters and goes everywhere, and little glass is embedded under your feet. It doesn't even have to be that though. There are all sorts of things that can happen with people dropping stuff or hot liquids or heck, just some fatass who steps on you. These things happen from time to time.

    anyway 10k post is coming up and damnit I didn't mean to re-ignite the sandal talk, lol.

    I wouldn't say weird, I'd say you're cautious about your feets, which isn't a bad thing, since if you don't have feets, it's kinda hard to walk.

    I bought some hiking boots sometime last year, because I'm thinking of doing some trekking. I started wearing them around, to walk to work, to just walk around in general, day hikes, etc, so that they would be good and broken in. Now they are my most frequently worn shoe. They are so comfortable, offer so much support, and short of a steel toe work boot, they are about as tough as you're gonna get. Oh and they are breathable Gortex. In sweltering heat, or playing sports, they wouldn't be great, but they are a fantastic everyday shoe if you're an active person.

    All depends on your technique, if you're doing it deep with poor technique your knees will die.

    Deep squatting is great. There's nothing wrong with working joints and the musculature through a full range of motion in a perfectly natural movement. Well perfectly natural for much of human history and much of the world-- many people have all sorts of issues from sitting on chairs and couches for such an inordinate amount of time (insanely tight hips and ankles, for starters.)

    The myth of the full squat being bad was driven by bros who needed a way to convince themselves they're not weak. They cut the range in half and congratulate themselves on "squatting" heavy

    I think it's funny how babies are born knowing how to do the perfect squat. I can't remember if it was on here or Reddit where it was discussed. Something I never noticed before though.

    probably true

    but now the above parallel squat is prevelant among american football teams and even powerlifters who need an ego boost (google: spf squat compilation)

    these days bros are doing leg presses and leg extensions. ok let's be serious here, bros are doing cable crossovers and biceps curls.

    wow I just watched that again and I feel less athletic just for watching it. summary: a bunch of fatasses wearing double ply suits taking massive amounts of weight out of a monolift and hitting a half squat. don't get me wrong, anyone who can do anything with 1,000 lb is strong as hell, and I am no powerlifter even though I do all the lifts, but I am much more impressed with IPF style squats to proper depth or even some strongass weightlifters who use back squats as an (extremely important) assistance exercise, even if the weight is usually less.
  71. #10046
    I'd bet almost any amount of money that as impressive as those lifts seem, they couldn't do half that weight without the suits and knee wraps from the bottom of a full squat.

    I get tht this is about competition lifting but the problem is now everyone in the bro community thinks weight on the bar equals size. They wonder why they have busted ass backs, knees, shoulders and elbows. You need to define what your goals are, and if they are health, body comp and injury free long life, you need to say fuck the weight and do what's going to get you there.

    LOL bro community

    I agree with this. In the world outside the gym, no one knows you did 500 pounds for reps. No one gives a shit, really.



    How about bench presses? Stop at elbows forming an "L" or should the bar almost or even touch your chest?
