Weightlifting shoes for girls? Nothing too crazy- I’ll do 35 mins of weightlifting every other day and then a bit of running too

Are you planning to run in the same shoes?

Just to be sure, what kind of weightlifting are we talking about? Powerlifting and Olympic lifting, or weight/resistance training in the gym, crossfit, etc?

For powerlifting and Olympic lifting where a raised heel is beneficial, look at Nike Romaleos or Adidas AdiPowers. These should not be used for running.

For resistance training or CrossFit, I like Nike Metcons but any shoes with a flatter heel would be good and you can run in them too.

Gendered footwear is a bit of a racket. Subtract 2 from your size in women's and bam, a whole new world of shoes are available to you.

Probably not actually. If it works yes if not, I have asics running shoes already

I use cross trainers

Cross trainers are fine for most lifters. Just don’t use running shoes.

Cross trainers are fine if you’re not using a lot of weight. But if you’re squatting big (your body weight or more) better off getting shoes with solid soles. The squishiness is destabilizing and can put a lot of pressure on your ankles.

Next evolution of conventionalism. It’s the meat, any meat, protein not vegetarian sourced. High Glycation and oxidation and high a1c and confounders of carb centric diets be ignored.

Maybe this is the socialist in me but shouldn’t Moderna and Pfizer waive their patent exclusivity for their Covid vaccines? Don’t we have a moral obligation for the world to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible?

It blows my mind that many countries won’t be able to vaccinate most of their people until 2023. There should be access to vaccine generics

I never do this but I need some objective advice. My wife is 5mo pregnant and my sister is getting married. Wedding was adjusted because of COVID but she set the date knowing I might not be able to attend as I’d have to fly there. Now I’m conflicted because if I attend, I’d have to quarantine for 2 weeks away from my wife and miss a couple DR appts. I’m her only support where we live. Would be stressful for her but I’m getting immense pressure from my parents to attend the wedding. Advice?
