Yeah right now Im using chucks. I asked Moya about it the other day and he said he preferred the weight lifting shoes. I was wondering about other peoples experience before I spend a bunch of money on some. The chucks work great for now but as I progress Im willing to try new things to help.

^if you played soccer would you go out on the field in tennis shoes?... im not saying they are the be-all-end-all, but they do make a difference...

Gloves are worthless throw them in the trash and grow some calluses. Straps are only useful for super heavy shruggs, if you dl with em youll have a sissy grip. A good unpadded belt is a must for heavy sq. and dl I like the toro belt but there are some good ones out there like apt, inzer, etc.

I threw out the gloves years ago. Thinking on straps for heavy shrugs only. Jury is still out on the belt. maybe if i ever went under 5 reps, but at 5+ I think your core should be able to support it. Like someone else said, they are very uncomfortable as well.

After you break in a belt it will fit perfectly. You will be the only one who will fit it though. If someone else puts it on it wont fit right. Dont buy a shitty belt get a good one. Dont buy double prong they are a pain, get single prong or a lever belt.

my belt was very uncomfortable at first too... now it is super conformed to my body... it does take a while, but if you arent going super heavy then you probly dont need it anyways...
