    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. :D

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

    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. :D

    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.
