No questions that don't deserve their own thread found. I can start with two.
What are some good lifting shoes? Just taking a look online and apparently pic related is god tier. Is the Adidas Adipower a meme? Aren't lifting shoes supposed to not raise the heel? It seems like all of the "best" lifting shoes have the heel raised more than I thought it should be.
Second I eat about half of the recommend carbs for the amount of calories (3200) I eat, mainly eating meats instead. They're not fatty meats, usually chicken and sometimes pork/ steak, Essentially I eat a lot more protein than I need to and a little more fat than I need to, and a lot less carbs than I "should". Is this an issue?
Can anyone recommend me a good UL routine that combines both strength and aesthetics?

What shoes you should wear depends on what kind of training you're doing. If you do oly lifting then shoes with raised heels like your pic are the way to go. With almost anything else a shoe with a hard, thin sole is the best way to go. Honestly if I could lift barefoot in my gym I would.

Raised heel is good for squats too.
Some people change shoes or take them off for dead lifts but I just use the same ones (an older pair of Adipowers).

Raised heel is better for squats than hard sole. Helps you hit depth and push through the heels

just pute a micro plate under your heels and that's it
been doing it for ages

Depends on mobility and preference, some lifters squat much better in heels others without.

Not better, depends on your build.

This is shitty advice from somebody with a shitty squat.
Not stable and will make you look like an idiot.
>>42072014
And the stability is terrible
Seriously, if you ever get the chance to try some proper lifting shoes you won't be disappointed
They're not a meme

>will make you look like an idiot.
oh, working out hard makes you look like an idiot? better to buy a "weight lifting" shoe with a raised heel (???????????????????)
exercise science guy here explain to me why the fuck a weight lifting shoe has a raised heel????????? please
a weight lifting shoe is a shoe designed for maximal deadlift period otherwise its just a normal shoe
