Also really needed competition and probably a lot of form help with that workout. I was happy-ish with my time until i came on the site and saw what the three lads did. Another WOD going in the book as one to repeat. ***10:38*** as rx’d (tarmac faceplant pushups)

Worth every penny. They really do make a difference and especially with the olympic lifts where they allow you to get down to a much lower bottom position. I actually get a little annoyed if I'm doing a running metcon now that features heavy weights and I can't wear them. I got them after reading around and deemed that these seem to be among if not the most recommended shoes to get. One of the reasons is that the heel isn't as high as most other shoes so they are decent for deadlifting in as well. Generally you want a more flatter shoe for deadlifting. Some say completely flat and some like Rippetoe say a little heel is good (I know why now after seeing Dave Tates DL method vs Rip's DL method and why each have different DL methods but I'll get into that somewhere else) I'll try dig up a few links over the weekend and I'll post them on your log. Only pair I've used so can't compare to anything else. Hi Tony, I’m really glad I got them. Worth every penny.

How do you find them? has anyone else tried more than just the pair they use now? I see adidas around the gym as well but i like the look of the rogues any thoughts?
