Shoes run true to size . Feel great, look great and preform great . I bought these for ATG squats and just started SMOLOV with them . For people saying the heel is not hard enough and compresses, They must of bought a different shoe! These are a great shoe for oly lifts if one cannot afford the upper $ ones . Highly recommend!
Pros:
good traction, high performance, lightweight, good arch support, durable, comfortable, good cushioning, breathable
If you're a guy who's thinking long-term, continue strength training dispite being fat and think to the future.
IMO even in that long term scenario ( bulk till you cant gain more strength , then cut ) he would have much better success if he first cut down to at least 15%, so the bulk would be better ( more LBM , less fat ). Bodyfat is not just extra weight, it affects food partitioning heavily.
+1.
The other thing is, suppose you bulk starting from 17-20%. Then when you're done bulking and you top out somewhere between say 20-30% you have a very very long cut ahead of you. It's hard to maintain motivation, strength, muscle and discipline for THAT long when you've got 6-8 months of dieting ahead of you. You might gain extra strength by fat bulking past 15% but can you keep those gains in the face of a long cut? Probably not. Better to keep your cuts short (3 months max) which means keeping your end-of-bulk bodyfat around 15% and then you have a better chance of keeping your gains post bulk.
Should i continue full squats and do some half/qtr squats?Yes. Squat, whether it's full, half, front, BSS or whatever you like and you're good at.Quoteand should i worry about the body fat ~25% after i get stronger. my current full squat is 310.Yes.
Best thing anyone can do for their athleticism is to reduce their bodyfat down to their essential bodyfat (thanks t0dday). Which means ~10% bodyfat. Most people have no idea how much weight they'd actually need to lose to get down to a legit 10%. Especially for those over 15%, they're probably underestimating big time. If you're 25% then you're too heavy to be athletic and that would be a priority for you if you care about athleticism. I'd even say that dialing in your kitchen game is going to do more for your athleticism than anything you do in the gym.
Here is my advice... spend $80 on them, and then when you get them, take a pair of scissors and cut them up and make yourself a nice deadlifting glove.
