FML, quad bugs, obviously wasn't ready for all those jumps.
Stretched the hell out of my legs today ( 30 mins or so , holding 90'' each position for each leg ) , then foam rolled IT band.

I remember when Lance or entropy (not sure who exactly) were telling me NOT to get these ones...

entropy · « **Reply #1585 on:** October 05, 2012, 11:17:37 am »

Nah these are good, the ones I was saying to avoid were the powerlift trainers

update, pic of powerlfit trainers

they do look similar to the powerperfects vag ordered. im not sure how they're related if at all apart from appearance. From memory, the powerperfect ii's have great reviews esp as a weight lifting shoe so vag has bought a wonderful pair of shoes.

Thanks adarqui and entropy!

It was entropy and he was against the powerlift shoe that is a crossfit shoe with deformable sole.

Apparently they are very much alike , hope they're not the same. Power Perfect 2 that i orederd is supposed to be ironwork's successor.
Here are both in the original adidas store pages:

Our men’s adidas Power Perfect 2 weightlifting shoes stabilise your stance with lightweight rear-foot heel support and a high-density die-cut wedge midsole.

Inspired by Olympic weight-lifting shoes, these adidas Power Lift Trainer shoes give you that big-man swagger. They feature a lockdown strap over the laces, a stable EVA midsole and a special plate designed to distribute your weight evenly.

Comfortable textile lining; Firm EVA wedge midsole for added support

Edit : and entropy just replied the same thing too , LOL

Dont worry vag, they're similar but different in the places that matter

Quote

Since this shoe is an almost identical twin to the adidas Power Perfect II, let’s cover the differences so they aren’t confused. First off, this PP2 model is cheaper than the Adidas Powerlifting Trainer. Like the Power Perfect 2, most of the shoe is made of synthetic leather but to reduce the cost even further an EVA material was used for the heel of the PowerLift model (EVA is a lightweight polymer, as dense as harder rubber soles but much lighter.) Finally, the PP2 is only available in white with red accents while the PL Trainer is available in 5 distinct colours.

http://www.boxrox.com/2012/02/adidas-powerlifting-trainer/

The EVA is compressible, but the powerperfects ii don't have that defect so you're going to be happy

You would've been better served doing RDLs or BSSs with dumbbells instead.
