Tonya Gets Strong

[Gwyn Brookes]

I got my shoes and they are too small . I wear a 9-9 1/2 in street shoes and ordered a 7 (just like Gwynn). I even measured my foot (23 cm) and compared it to the VS sizing chart. Oh well, larger size on the way. I couldn't justify the $30 two day air fee to have them by Friday. I have to say, I've never had shoes that came with their own bag. Cool!

...

Question about the power clean...My feet always start out less than shoulder width ala the deadlift stance, but they always land shoulder width apart. Is this a problem?

Yeah I had to send my 7's back for 7 1/2's too. It was a relatively painless process though.

To my knowledge, your stance widening to shoulder width on PC is totally fine.

I haven't checked in for 3 weeks, you're doing well on your presses. I see the number going up but no comments about them (except that you misloaded the bar one day!). How are they feeling now?
