His PT told him to take the Gum Boots off.barefeet? what's the thinking there? Stabilising muscles getting a better workout? Reduce heal lift?
Driving force into the floor instead of your sole of the shoe, stability and can make you stronger its why you see a lot of lifters wearing converse because they get that flat sole. You also feel more in control of your lift. Hope that made sense.barefeet? what's the thinking there? Stabilising muscles getting a better workout? Reduce heal lift?
Cue yelling ‘spread da floor’…Driving force into the floor instead of your sole of the shoe, stability and can make you stronger its why you see a lot of lifters wearing converse because they get that flat sole. You also feel more in control of your lift. Hope that made sense.
controlling heal lift would most likely placing a small plate under the heel

There definitely is, I remember maxing out barefoot and I felt like I was more stable and can put more power into the ground, you can also feel where your weight is distributed when you are shoeless. You can also gain better ankle stabilityAll makes sense. My preference has always been to lift in those 'converse' style flat shoes. Never runners for those reasons. Perhaps he just doesn't own a pair. Curious whether there are benefits to be barefoot over flat/hard soled shoes.
Sumo-grip too by the look of it. Should be doing decent weights in no-time.No wonder he has chalky bones, slap some weight on those deadlifts…

So they should don’t ya think. Hopefully the wheel has turned for a lot of our injured blokes.another PT - these boys are going to turn up on 22 Nov in good nick

Haha this conversations interesting for me because it's only in the last few couple of months or so that I've realised that I've been doing squats wrong my entire life. I used to do them in runners and lift my heels off the ground at the bottom of the squat. They're so much better now that I can do them properly.Always squat and deadlift barefoot crew

I had the same issue and found that putting my heels on 2.5kg plate helped massivelyHaha this conversations interesting for me because it's only in the last few couple of months or so that I've realised that I've been doing squats wrong my entire life.
