I got your back!

ATTENTION ATHLETES:  If you just set a PR on your Deadlift (which many of you did! Rock on!), there be careful with you lower back over the next week or so.  Take extra time to warm up, roll your lower bits, and apply ice.  You have just asked your body to move more weight than you ever have before, and this is powerful JuJu.  In my experience, it can take 7-10 days to fully recover from a max effort deadlift.  Be smart, and we’re going to lay off the deadlift for a bit.  Great work on all the big lifts!
The 5 best weightlifting shoes under $200.  I’ve been called a shoe hound in the past, but let my obsession benefit YOU!  I have worn Rogue Do-Wins for 3 years, and I love them.  Alison has a pair of the Adidas powerlifting shoe, which is very similar to the unmentioned Reebok Oly Shoe (which is a little pricy, at $150).
