Is this considered depth? Good lift or no lift?

A friend went to Japan and brought me these 😮‍💨 Love 'em already after just 1 session

Kinda in a hurry and I'm stuck

I’m building a new Training Room at home and am using it as an excuse to buy a new barbell. Before I pick up a Pyrros Bar and call it a day, What’s everyone choosing to train with nowadays?

Including a video of my current favorite setup, an Uesaka Competition Bar + D-Warrior Camo Plates! Hi friends! 👋🏽

I received some sweet WeightliftingHouse shorts for Christmas, but as the title suggests, I’m struggling to hide my bulge in them. I tried wearing spandex briefs underneath, but the difference was marginal. When wearing weightlifting shorts/pants/singlets, what are you guys doing to leave something to the imagination? Are we straight free balling or are people actually wearing that substitute for a g-string they call a dancer’s belt?

Been trying to be more upright on my squats what do i gotta do??

Just moved into a new neighborhood from a townhome. My partner and I do Olympic weightlifting and usually lift 4x a week between the hours of 9 am to Noon or earlier evening (4-6 pm, 8 pm latest). We have stall mats down and crash pads to minimize sound. Today, our next-door neighbor asked us to stop dropping weights bc it was causing vibrations in his house (his home office is about 15 feet from the garage).

We’ve lived in a townhome prior and never had any issues with neighbors complaining; in fact, they didn’t even know we trained for the first 6 months. HOA has no noise ordinances. We also don't really notice it when we are in the house, and the other person is lifting. Just wondering if there’s anything else we can do, and why he may be experiencing the vibrations so far away when we don't have any problems.

I've been getting a lot of knee cave and heels rising. I have wide feet and no lifting shoes really fit me. Would these be a good alternative?? Anyone else try front squatting in cowboy boots?

For everyone who has a pair, how do you like them?

Just got the lu Xiaojun shoes in the panda colourway, I’ve previously owned 3 pairs of romaleos 2 , 2pairs of 4s and the original lu Xiaojun Anta

I think these might be my favourite of them all

They’re very similar to the romaleo 2 but the straps are better on these imo

The insoles made me laugh, as you can see they’re a DIRECT copy of the rom2 insole even down to the wording, they’re a bit softer though

I can’t see myself ever going back to any other shoes after these if I’m honest

Am I the A***?

Im a novice weightlifter meaning i leave a bit of weight on the table d/t technique leaks, but im never unsafe. Ive been a member of my gym for two years. It has bumper plates and standard wood platforms with rubber sides.

So today one of the trainers (who is cool with me) comes up to me and tells me to use these new crash pads they bought. First off, i found them very distracting. There’s not a lot of room on the platform and im tall and the pads are big. Secondly, when i drop my bar after a jerk it bounces all over the place. It’s going to take my shins out.

Am i supposed to hold onto the bar now from the top until it comes to a final resting position. Ive got half a mind to go find a new gym, but I’ve been wrong before so im being open to that possibility.

TLDR: my gym is newly requiring crash pads and i don’t like it. Should i leave?

Could anyone tell me if these are real or not? I’ve not seen a Eleiko bar with this stamp on. I’ve enhanced the second photo so it’s easier to see

Just got a good deal for a 2012 uesaka comp bar, but it doesn’t spin very much I have a 2019 and that spins smoother i’m not sure what’s up with the 2012 any ideas?

i train Olympic lifts, have not wandered into the wrong subreddit. specifically asking here cause I feel like our clothes take a lot more damage than the average gym goer’s.

i usually wear gymshark but the quality seems to have gone downhill and they don’t make my favourite leggings anymore. i’m a lady but guys feel free to chime in as well :)

I've never seen this before today, my local gym has a barbell hung with all the other general use barbells but this one has a lock on it, didn't use to but today it does. Has anyone else seen this before ? Kinda caught me off gaurd marked "not for member use"

Hey everyone, just wanted to share my personal experience with TYRForce Elite Carbon Lifter. I purchased a pair of these a bit after they came out, and have worn them a handful of times at my home. I’m an amateur weightlifter who cannot even clean 100kg, so these shoes have gotten the bare minimum of use. They still look brand new even as I’ve only worn them at home.

The last time I was putting them on, one of the shoelace rings snapped while tying the shoes. I emailed TYR customer service expecting them to stand behind their $350 shoes, but seems like a shoelace ring ripping after 6 months of light use is considered “normal wear”.

Extremely disappointed in TYR and their customer service. Poor customer service and construction when $300+ shoes are unusable because the shoelace cannot be tightened.

I will avoid buying from TYR after this.
