    After using good old Chuck Taylor's for years I got a pair of Adipowers on cyber Monday. $76 taxes in from adidas website. I can't believe how solid they are. Going from chucks to adipowers has blown my mind. If I knew how much of a difference they make I would have spent the $200 a long time ago.

    I've had these shoes for about 2-3 years now, I've had no problems with them. I was originally able to get them for $75, maybe one day I will make the jump to the higher priced shoes. Actually got these shoes because of reviews/ your channel.

    Perfectly explained. My powerlifts started to fall apart pretty quickly. 0.1 of an inch is really not that big of a difference but I think the difference is exaggerated when the heels compress. I remember watching a video of Leana Carr and Marisa Inda squatting the same weight but with different shoes. Leanna had the powerlifts and they compressed like crazy.

  • @fuzuzafitness8354

    You dont need to spend a fuck ton on oly shoes. Go to maxbarbell if you live in the states they have tons of clearance sales out of no where. They had a pair of wei reis for fucking $45 and free shipping yesterday. They also have a pair of Sabos for 75 and free shipping with a higher heel height than adi powers and Romelos (0.77 vs 0.75) and they're double strapped. Solid shoes solid price. No need for 150+ dollar shoes that you use 1-3 times a week.

    • @MN-lz9nh
      @MN-lz9nh 8 лет назад +1

      I own the sabo powerlifts as well for about two years now and have loved squatting in them. The biggest advantage they have over the adidas powerlifts is simply the construction material used in the heel (plastic/TPU vs. rubber) so the base feels alot more solid and not "bouncy". I do not own adipowers or romaleos but at the price point of $75 they are really an underrated shoe that is much more cost effective if you're looking for something similar to the adipower/romaleo style

    • @fuzuzafitness8354
      @fuzuzafitness8354 8 лет назад

      matthew nguyen Exactly im super glad i found these, one of my buddies has to adi powers and after wearing them for a squat and bench session they feel about the same. The adi powers feel a little bit more secure but not enough to make their price point worth it.

    I bought a pair of black Adipowers and got them on sale for $140. I had an Amazon order for the $90 Adidas Powerlift but after this video I cancelled them. These are my first weightlifting shoes and it was overdue as I am presently doing squats in the 315 lbs range after 5 months of weight training with running shoes. I am not sure if I should thank you or hate you but we will see how these Adipowers work when I squat and overhead press with them.

PS: I just ordered my powerlifts 3.1 and I can't wait to get my hands on them. My squat really really improved when I used my friend's pair. Also my coach suggested to start with the adidas powerlift cause its an easy/safe start for a squat shoe.

  • @TheHairyKarl

    Do you feel like lifters compound ankle mobility issues? Instead of working on ankle mobility just going for raised heels. Just wondered how you feel on that. I've never had a pair so just intrigued. Cheers for the vids big B.

    • @craigowen1798
      @craigowen1798 8 лет назад +1

      So long as it's your limiting factor for your desired depth, you're working on ankle mobility every time you squat. With or without a raised heel.

    @Scarx2gt 8 лет назад

    I almost bought a pair of powerlifts, and was very close to buying a pair because the 3.0s were out. However, I developed a very wide stance for stability, because of my knees that naturally point outwards along with a minor leg discrepancy so I am not sure if there would be any point in me getting some Oly shoes. I do most of my lifting in the Reebok crossfit lites anyway.

  • @Hybridkepz
    @Hybridkepz 8 лет назад

    My powerlifts collect dust aswell. Looks just like new. Now using Adipower since roughly a year back. However I sometimes try to squat with reebok powershoes (flat and used for my deadlifts) which somehow feels more powerful for me to squat in but at the same time awkward. So.. it's a tough choice, depth has to be reached aswell.

  • @LiongkyTan
    @LiongkyTan 8 лет назад

    based on personal experience, adipower feels a lot better than powerlift or chuck.. perhaps because I squat high bar with relatively narrow stance. but I get that not everyone has extra $150 -$200 to spend. especially in my country, where adipower and romaleos usually never sold under $200

    Although I value your opinion and see what you're saying I think comparing them to two more expensive shoes is what the problem is here.
    Yes I already realise that you have probably addressed this yourself. But perhaps as a transfer shoe from flats to olie these do have their place in the market.
    You can use them for a year or 2, and move on to more a shoe with more features if you feel you wanna progress and invest more?

  • @VieserikGaming
    @VieserikGaming 8 лет назад

    My romaleos are the best investment I made because of my long ass legs. Many think I was crazy spending 220 Euros because before the 2016 Olympics there was only one store shipping to europe. But if you think of it you only wear it 2 times a week for 2 hours or so. If you keep them clean you can go on for many years with them. So in the long run it is better to buy the expensive ones rather than a cheaper pair first.

    There's a man at my gym that has the same pair of olympics shoes since late 90s and they're still in good shape.
    With that mentality, I decided to go with the best shoe (Adipower) thinking better quality = better longevity. Found them also with a 15% discount on a German site and bought them for 140 euro (152$) instead of 90-100 euro (98-108$) for the Powerlifts.

    i have a question. what if i didn't really need the .75 heel elevation but wanted a lower one like the powerlift but i can still use it as an all rounder in the gym? meaning i can deadlift bench and even squat with it? I've been wearing an adidas weightlifting shoe for 2 years now and i thought i needed something more flexible. any opinions anyone?

    • @BasementBrandon
      @BasementBrandon  7 лет назад +1

      I don't think deadlifting with a heel is too ideal IMO.

      Brandon Campbell Your review was spot on btw. I love my powerlift 2's, but I can tell the adipowers look way more stable at the base just because the outsole looks so solid. A step up from the chucks, but given Rogue's current sale on the Adipowers I almost wish I'd waited.

    @joew1852 7 лет назад +3

    my main problem is that they have different heel heights and people have different preferences on height but the powerlift is clearly an all around inferior shoe. so its either firmness of the adipower or romaleo with a 3/4 heel or the squishy 1/2 inch of powerlift. hell some people even like 1 inch heels but then you need to buy expensive brands with wood heels that just don't look quite as professional. that's a shitty decision to make. I think it'd be smart on adidas and Nike's part to make variants of the adipowers and romaleos with the same exact design but varying heel heights. so like a 1/4 inch adipower, 1/2, 3/4 and a 1 inch variant available. hell even a flat adipower would be nice because its hard to come by good flat shoes that are firm and have the strap over the midfoot. the same shoe but with the decision to pick a different heel when buying would honestly be a dream for powerlifters and Olympic lifters and idk why either company hasn't done this yet

      There are more expensive shoes out there as well, I think eventually there's a point where you don't get the return.

    I have the adidas power perfect II.
    Anyone that have an opinion on if it's really worth upgrading to adi powers?
    What I like about the power perfect is that the heel is very large, which I pretty much need because I have super long femurs.
    Is the adi power heel smaller? It looks like it in the pictures but I have never seen any of them up close irl so I can't really confirm it.

    • @BasementBrandon
      @BasementBrandon  6 лет назад

      I believe the power perfect IIs have a 1" heel, the adipowers have a .75"

    • @jamessarvan7692
      @jamessarvan7692 6 лет назад

      Ah okay, thank you very much. I think the 1 inch is better for me then.
      Btw thanks for a great review on the inzer belt. I bought one, got it this week, I am super happy with it!
      Was a little bit of a hazzle to find one in Europe but I did find one so :)
