Lu Xiaojun ANTA Weightlifting Shoes Review *BARBELL GIVEAWAY*

[@hppowerlifting2897]

I have Antas for 2 years (black/red form Hookgrip). They are still like a new. Quality is far beyond Romaleos 3 and 3 XD. I have not found any shoes with such quality and i own like 10 pairs of weightlifting shoes.

[@romaneggo9802]

Have you tried ROM 4s they are supposedly much better. About to buy lifters and these are my top 2 contenders

[@kevinli7805]

@@romaneggo9802 I had rom4 for a while their toes spaces aren't too much. If your feet are wide they kinda been squeezed together

[@jaycabais2025]

Buying these shoes for XMas... just ordered Lu Xiaojun 160 LB Black Bumper Plates, the design is 🔥🔥🔥

[@battosai191]

Awesome review as always. You look particularly more excited for this one haha

[@shencastro340]

I wear a 10.5 U.S & I noticed on the Lu Xiaojun website they don't have a 10.5. I see you basically rounded up half an inch in your video. Trying to get a pair by xmas, should I get an 11? That would be a 45 in EU & and a 280 in china. Is that correct? Please respond.

[@slashnagy6]

Good review. I agree; these are hands down the best weightlifting shoes that you can buy right now (this coming from someone that has tried almost all). I would say these are definitely worth $300.

[@MrPink1750]

Better than the Adidas Leistung 16:2. With the 1 inch heel?

[@slashnagy6]

@@MrPink1750 the leistung is a quality shoe but the heel slope didn’t feel gradual to me and Adidas shoes in general tend to be very narrow. Antas feel more stable (even more than Rom 2’s) but this is just my opinion

[@MrPink1750]

@@slashnagy6 Thanks for the insight!! I will try and get the Antas heard there is a new version coming soon??

Just ordered the a pair in the new green colorway I’m so excited! I wear typically a 10.5 training shoe and got a 10 in the lifters! Thanks for the review!

[@jacobpascool]

I know they sell the Luxiaojun Antas based on the EU size, so you'd be a size 43? Just curious cause i'm also a size 10.5 regularly and size 10 in the Romaleos 2.

[@snowdude1080]

@@jacobpascool I just ordered mine and come in this coming week. I'm normally a size 10.5 but got the size 44. I'll keep you guys updated on the fitment when it comes

Yeah

What’s the beef with hookgrip?

[@brandoncluff5588]

I’ve heard they lurk

[@WHITEHEADTJ71]

@@brandoncluff5588 what does that even mean?

[@hookgrip]

I don’t know if this will stay up because apparently Joel doesn’t like us but I was alerted to this video/comment today. I don’t know of any beef or why Joel is not happy with us. Back in 2017 he posted an initial review of the China ones and said there may be a build quality difference between those and ours, which I was not happy with because he didn’t reach out to us or find out if that was true before saying it. I asked him to post a retraction to clarify and he did and to me that was the end of it. I didn’t even remember it until I was trying to remember why he would say something like this. People can buy whatever Antas they want though, I’m cool with the LuX barbell guys. They are good shoes.

[@hookgrip]

@@getstrongby4038 the only differences between all models are cosmetic differences. lu, china, korea, hg, etc -- same shoe, just different colors.

[@AMRAP]

@@hookgrip I wasn't a fan of the way you asked.

[@donnguyen5731]

The import ban was due to the Anta logo being similar to the Brooks logo

[@AMRAP]

Don Nguyen there it is, though I could swear I remember there being something other than that too.

[@nathanielsablan2474]

As Many Reviews As Possible yeah China didn’t allow anta to export the one with the flag

@@nathanielsablan2474 I knew it, I think the Brooks stuff came after I got them.

Hey Joel, I am a size 9.5 in the Reebok legacy and Rom3( not XD), size 10 in Rom4s, what sizing do you recommend should I go for the antas? Thanks 🙏🏼

[@loyd1298]

Hello where can i buy the team china one ?

[@StOcKeY1234]

Any idea when Lu Xiaojun barbell Europe will get more in stock size 39 or 40

[@assdksl]

Got one of those today! Nice looking shoes. I did notice strange thing tho. On the lateral side of the midfoot, kind of opposite of where your arch is on the medial side, I feel a hump in both shoes. Almost like arch support is on wrong side. Insole is very firm and has a lip in that spot so that may be the reason. Does anyone feel this and does it go away eventually with break-in?

[@slashnagy6]

It shouldn’t feel this way; maybe you got a dud pair.

[@SebaRoz123]

Hi, do you know any powerlifting athlete that use them? I’d like to try them but I haven’t seen anyone in powerlifting yet

Andy Huang uses them

[@HowardRuan]

Hi "As many reviews as possible", I have ordered a pair of nike romaleos 4 and it arrived today. My feet height is about 27cm and width is about 10.6cm. So I ordered my romaleos 4 with half size up which is 43EU (27.5cm). But it's kinda too tight. My toe cannot be flat and it's become hammer toe. So I am gonna order another pair of anta shoe because I heard that this shoe is better for people with wide feet. I just wonder which size should I choose. Should I choose anta 44EU (27.2cm) or 45EU (28cm) if my romaleos 4 43EU(27.5cm) is a bit tight?

[@tuanlinhdao3389]

Btw, what's your feet height? You comfortable with size 43?

[@JaCieKochams2]

i thought the narrow one are the R3s and not R2

[@daurye92]

Any chance you will review either their OLY or Crosstraining barbell in the future? Thanks :)

Yeah I’ve got a few reviews for them coming - training bar, e1/ comp plates, squat rack

[@AMRAP]

Matthew Miller typically fast. They ship out of Ontario California

@@AMRAP I ordered some knee sleeves and those shipped air from China. Crash pads and bumpers shipped from Ontario. I wonder if they boat ship the larger items and then air ship the smaller ones or if my knee sleeves were just a weird exception

How would these compare against the Velassa’s? Want to get a shoe close to my Rom2s

Antas are much closer to rom2s. Velaasas are cool, but they’re a lot different feeling.

I would definitely not go up half size. If you like your 13s fit in Rom3 (I'm assuming not XD), just get that.
