If constantly maximizing your lifting (and channeling your inner Olympian) is your thing, grab a pair of
Adidas Power Lift Trainers to wear mainly during weight lifting portions of your workout or to any lifting class. Your feet will stay secure with a hook-and-loop strap as you bust out that last clean-and-jerk, and the elevated heel will help keep your quads and glutes engaged for more lifting power. And if you've ever felt off balance during a heavy lift, Adidas has solved that problem with a rigid sole and a weight distribution plate—both contribute to a solid platform for better balance control.
