I have two questions about powerlifting meets. My first ever meet is coming up in 9 weeks and I am excited and trying to make sure I don't have any big surprises on the day of. My first question is about hair. I see a lot of women compete with their hair out. Is it a statement of sorts or is this due to some crazy reuqirement that all hair pieces be a particular brand and what not? I cannot imagine simple hair ties being a problem... What do I need to know? My second question is about the shoes. I practice all three moves wearing nothing but socks and I wear wide barefoot shoes as my everyday footwear. I know I need shoes for the meets, so I bought a pair of Notorious Lifts... and I don't like the fit at all. I've seen the handbook mention some kinds of athletic shoes were ok to compete in. How can I know if this shoe would be acceptable or not? https://www.amazon.com/JOOMRA-Barefoot-Athletic-Trekking-Sneakers/dp/B07KPZLDK9 (elastic laces, velcro closure on top, not a finger-shoe) If possible, I'd prefer this shoe over the Notorious. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!
