How do you start deadlifting.

[RodgerThat]

I ordered some adidas powerlifts. Its just taking awhile to get here. I live far and the time of year. I was thinking of getting some chucks while i wait.

I always knew people said squats and DLs were easier in flat shoes and / or no shoes. But I didnt think the difference was THAT big. Now I know.

Addi powerlift are great for the squat and bench press (more hip drive for your bench having the feet planted) but unfortunately they do have a heal to them which will give you the adverse effect on the deadlift that you are looking for. Chuck Taylor's are a decent deadlift shoe and good for sumo deads a swell would be a worth while purchase as they are cheap and easily attainable.
