You have improved my squat game

I always squat barefoot - I’m fortunate to have a neutral foot/medial arch!

Going "bare"foot is great for squats and deadlifts.

Been done doing this since I've worn vibrams five fingers since 8yrs ago.

you'll be paying even more with your knee, hip, and low back health in the future. Paying for expensive shoes is no reason to deny what is better for you, but hey to each their own.

I love squatting in just my socks. So much better than in shoes! Especially the difference is huge when doing pistol squats, if I'm wearing shoes I can't keep my balance hehe

I do this when doing calve raises bare footed

I always lift with no shoes

If u don't want to go full barefoot or are hesitant may I recommend swim shoes they have a nice grippy texture om the bottom come in several colors including regular black are cheap and are thin enough to feel these changes in balance

Yeah I do this now. With deadlift and hip trust too.

How do you feel about flat shoes? I use vans which are made for good board feel on a skateboard. I’m also curious about squat specific shoes that are made with built in heels. How does that compare to barefoot?

@Bei_Gandalfs_Bart

Жыл бұрын

As someone who liftes barefoot for years I can just recommend you to try Powerlifting shoes. They have a slighty elevated heel, but not so much as specific squat shoes. It prevents you from falling forward and you have more control over your weight. I honestly don't know what these people are talking about. If you could really have more stability squatting barefoot, everyone would do it in Powerlifting. But that's not the case.

I might just be too use to squatting in my vans but whenever I try barefoot I feel more unstable.

I have plantar fashitis. Ant tips.

I always squat barefoot, and you feel it when you feet are mal positioned

I can't ever do the foot thing properly at some point during the descend or ascend the it shifts back and forth. Corkscrewing the foot nake my knee go put of line and I end up with knee issues Its very annoying and you don't answer my messages or comments I've tried emailing you too and Instagram messages no reply

What about squat socks?

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Joke's on you, I don't have gym/hall sports shoes so I'm already squatting in socks.

Bought a pair of minimalist Vibram toe shoes and it's the best thing I've done for my squat (not a fan of letting my foot stench loose at the gym)

Hey Squat University, do you still recommend that for people with flat feet? Mine is genetics (literally everyone on my father's side has flat feet) and I don't think much can be done to "create" an arch, so i was wondering if it's safe to squat barefoot in my case. Thanks

@SquatUniversity

Жыл бұрын

It’d say it depends. For Some, yes. It’s just a matter of learning foot balance & not worrying about how much of an arch you can create. Foot function / not focused on the appearance of the arch basically. Now there are some that have a very compensated foot that do need some support but in my experience that % is VERY low and most who have flat feet just have very very low arches and a ton of mobility in the foot - therefore they would definitely benefit from barefoot training. Just have to go slow and make quality the squat the most important

Yessss :D

Does squatting on barefoot shoes count as well?

Lifting barefoot or wearing "wide toebox shoes" seems to be the solution for everything on this channel. I think it's a dangerous and stupid advice. I lifted barefoot for years, because I couldn't afford Powerlifting shoes. When I finally got a pair, it changed everything for me. You feel way more stable and don't tend to fall forward like it sometimes happens when lifting barefoot.

Not even squatting barefoot Jesus christ
