Strength is often difficult to gain. You need adequate calorie consumption for energy along with good macronutrient balance (protein, carbohydrates and fats). A good gym helps. Upbeat tunes, heavy plates and most importantly an enthusiastic lifting culture. Surround your self with an environment that promotes success. It's also difficult to know what to wear. Especially when it comes to footwear.
Converse All Stars
These are probably my favourites. Converse All Stars are designed with a solid sole for good absorption of ground reaction force. The surrounding ankle support is also handy for promoting proper ankle alignment whilst squatting.
Rock Climbing Shoes
This is one suggestion which is suitable for participants wishing to get involved in gait actions such as prowler pushes, sled pulls and tyre flips. Rock climbing shoes are the strong mans footwear of choice.
This is down to the minimalist design for absorption of ground reaction force and the rubber soles for better grip.
Weight Lifting Shoes
These are your most expensive option and not necessarily your best. The heal is often higher on lifting shoes which makes them suitable for people with poor ankle mobility. You must question if this helps or does a higher heal encourage poor ankle mobility. The typical lifting shoe is a huge expense for a non-competitive lifter. Especially when you consider that you will get the same benefit from Converse All Stars and other similar brands.
