Are Vibrams good for lifting and running? I know they look ridiculous but I’m talking about functionality. They seem like they’d be good for deadlifts since most gyms won’t let you remove shoes

I wouldn’t wear weightlifting shoes (e.g. Romaleos) for deadlifts with the lifted heal, you want as flat as possible. I’d prefer to wear chucks over vibrams but its whatever you feel best in to hit the lift. I think Nike Metcons are the best all around gym shoe. I use those for training and deadlifts. Use Romaleos for squatting and Olympic lifts.

Well, it really depends on what you mean by functionality. If you want deadlift specific shoes, they probably aren't bad - but there are many that I would choose over them (Romaleos, AdiPowers, even Chuck Taylors). And I've never seen them worn at a powerlifting meet, although that doesn't mean they wouldn't be good for lifting

But is the other part sticking with the same type of workout routine or is it ok to mix it up? (Think biking one day, gym another, walk or jog another). Goal is to lose weight and get toned (27 F). With the gym, is it better to stick with the same basic exercises each time or make more diverse workout plans?
