I love all of this, but especially the one featuring the superman undies.

I thought you meant dead lifting socks instead of weights. Lol. But this is so awesome!

Please explain to a non-lifter why deadlift socks are a thing? Is it because of the compression? Everyone's socks are lovely I just want to know why.

They protect your shins a bit from the bar which can give you a nasty scrape. That's the only benefit I can think of.

Errr they keep your feet warm. Doh!

I've moved away from wearing them- I mostly wear them because I like them rather than specifically dead lifting- I have never been a big "knee scrap" kind of DLer- so it's never been an issue- but I do love me some tall socks.


obviously

I clicked on this topic b/c I thought you meant to type "deadlifting sucks" and I wanted to commiserate.

Dang that is one empty weight room!

I want to order socks but I can't pick just one design. I want them all. If they only made Seattle Seahawks deadlifting sock that I could wear here in Niners territory...then I'd be able to make a decision. lol

are you talking about my pictures??

I can't see them any pictures at this point so I'm not sure... because I'm only in the aerobics room at the LA Fitness for those pictures with the wood floor.

Yes your gym mirror selfies! That makes sense. Our weight room is always packed, even during the day. Hope yours is too!

PRMinx

Hmmm. I need to get some socks.

yep- just the aerobics room. I used to do a lot of dance training in there after hours- so I was free to take selfies without feeling EXCEPTIONALLY judged LOL.

I also thought it said "deadlifting sucks" and was wondering why. I even started wondering "who hates which exercise the most" and was pleasantly surprised by socks!

I do know people who think deadlifting sucks. But they're bad people and it's okay to ignore them.

That's all well and good until you're bleeding after every set and have numerous scars. Not really fun.
