Squat Workout - Lower Body Strength (Day 3/6)

My squat session from this block, keeping it simple and having to adjust a few things in this session. Love a good lower body strength session.

Hi mate, I have a question. When squatting, what are the benefits of being barefoot compared to elevated heel in lifting shoes. Cheers and really appreciate the knowledge you're sharing.

Great question mate - I could do a whole blog post on this but I’ll keep it short here:
You want a good connection with the ground. So weightlifting shoes or going barefoot gives you that because the former are sturdy and not cushioned, and the latter...well that speaks for itself. It’s important you aren’t squatting on soft shoes (where possible).
As for weightlifting shoes, they can give you a bit more range of motion at the ankle joint and give you a more upright posture.
I use both and really like my ol’ school Adidas weightlifting shoes...I got some new nike ones a few years ago but the raised heel is too high I reckon.
If you can get the crease of your hip below your knee joint barefoot, I would opt for that...provided the surface isn’t slippery and your gym allows it!!!
First and foremost, stay safe.

Brilliant, thanks very much.
