Strong from the ground up

Pickup a pair of weightlifting shoes and take a step towards a new PB

If you want to get serious about hoisting a heavy barbell, you need to upgrade your footwear from a pair of trainers to some specialist weightlifting shoes. The new Crazy Power from Adidas is a good place to start because it’s hugely versatile: solid enough to ensure you’re stable when you chuck a few plates on the bar, but with flex grooves in the forefoot that allow you to do more dynamic exercises such as box jumps. To use your Crazy Power wisely, make sure you include the three moves below in your programme. Adidas Crazy Power, £139.95
