Whatre these for? I just bought these: Specifically for squats and deadlifts and crossfit sorts of workouts. I prefer to lift with just socks on but I figured people at the gym don't like that so I got the frees.

Captain Lavender posted:Report back after a while, please. I feel like a foam mattress is what I need for my back problems, but I didn't even really consider that I could get one for less than $2-3000; I hadn't really been looking. Oh, I bought it in Aug 2010. It's great, especially for the price, I just found that it was a bit too firm for my liking. The only reason you should spend 2-3k on a mattress is if you can adjust the firmness somehow. Getting the right firmness is the most important thing, the technology is roughly the same between them all. It's still heavy, dense memory foam - it's not exactly like a temperpedic, but it's close enough for 1/4th the cost. I figured if I don't like it, I can always buy a different mattress pad until I get one that's just right. And so far that's been the case! Sadly, my back likes the firmness, I've got back problems as well and I wake up with horrible pains when I use the too-soft pad. Really a shame because it's so comfortable.

Got this because I want to step up to a real racing sim and it turns out iRacing is borderline impossible to play with a 360/PS4 controller. Also because Valve VR & the Rift consumer versions are coming out this fall and I want to be decent at iRacing and Project Cars by then. By all accounts both games work amazingly well with a Rift & steering wheel setup. I also bought my favorite table in the world in Pinball Arcade because I found out it supports portrait mode so I can turn my monitor sideways and see the full table at once. Now I can practice at home in between trips to my local pay by the hour arcade. For how much I love pinball, I'm embarrassingly bad at it.

Once you suck (a bit) less, join us in the iracing thread, and in the GoonCar series where I almost have secured the Season 3 championship as long as I don't massively gently caress up We also have two or three teams running the Twelve Hours of Sebring at the end of the month, but you need at least a D4.0 license for that.

I think I need something that will hold me in place when I'm asleep. I feel like most of my discomfort comes from turning in the night. Twisting hurts my back, and I have child-bearing hips, so it's a lot of torque. My concern with it being so cheap is its lasting ability; but it's got that warranty, so it seems like a good option.

But prezbuluskey was saying he's using those Nike flyknits for lifting, which is a bad idea.

I picked up a couple of old picture frames to put a couple of old pictures in. Trying to avoid putting money in the pocked of the picture-framing mafia. I also bought this Seiko - synchs to GPS satellites so it's always right, and solar powered, too. Sadly, it's the size of a hockey puck.

Not all recently but since I last posted in this thread. Annoying as gently caress at first but eh, I've gotten used to it. in white. because I'm an old man and decided to think conservatively and get a more "sensible" car than the Miata I was going to purchase and there's no drat way I was going to buy a new/used sticker price Chevy. Talk about buyer's remorse. +airbags, headliner, fender, door, and paint job to get said vehicle road worthy. (not these exact ones)

And not a single badger had to lose its life. I've always refused to pay £150 for something that costs £5 to manufacture, but thanks to an Amazon daily deal, paying £40 is palatable. Shaves as close as a blade, doesn't tear up my skin like a rotary and is quicker than a blade. Mind you, I've learnt why you never hear these things running in the adverts: it sounds like a Romanian vibrator.

I got the same one (although the brand is called Melitta over here). Probably one of the best drip machines you can get, as good but a lot cheaper than Moccamaster. big mean giraffe posted:Those are running shoes, there's a world of difference between an elevated heel and the lifted toe on a running shoe jesus people. Also see how the heel is hard on lifting shoes, so they're stable. Unlike running shoes. I spent few months looking for new lifting shoes, because my old Chucks were falling apart. I didn't want actual power lifting ones, because they're so clunky. Thought about minimal drop running shoes for awhile, then finally said gently caress it and bought another pair of Chucks.
