So I was looking at lifting shoes and here are my findings.

1.Deadlift-Flat sole
2.Power Clean-Flat sole
3.Squat-Raised heal


so is squat the only powerlift that you use a heal for?


Just wondering

[Kirk]

to really get ass to the grass squats you need that heal. as far as the rest i cannot help you there...

[skeptic]

having the raised heel helps you keep your back straight, keeps you from leaning back too far

[Ap305]

having a raised heel elevates your feet allowing a deeper stretch of the quads

If I could, I'd lift barefoot.

[skeptic]

[Beefcake]

lol, Thank you. I generally use my work boots on squats day and Wrestling Boots on the others because it feels like I'm wearing nothing at all.

damn they have lifting shoes.. i need to get my hands on one i would live to train barefoot but i dont kno if they would allow it at my gym..i was thinking about boots but i jus neva got around to it.

Boots are great for leg day because they feel like you're very stable. I used my grandpa's old army boots for a while but I out grew them. So now i use my wrestling shoes most of the time. Boots are for strongman day and Heavy squat day.
