Why olympic weightlifting shoes

Allowing to get deeper into the squat. Also to mention the enhanced dorsiflexion caused by the heel really helpful when it comes to get your trunk stable. The only cons it is the price, really overpriced shoes in my opinion. I love my new red adidas oly shoes for all lifting movements. I have the Adidas shown above. Ive had them for about 8 mnths now and they were my first pair of weight lifting shoes.

I love them. They also feel extremely stable while lifting. Much more than the Reeboks but i will say the Nike feel much more stable but are much heavier. I think we should try to match the show to the person! Invictus Blog. Connect with. Create a Comment Account.

Ever see someone on their toes during an overhead squat no matter how hard they try to put their weight in their heels? This is probably someone with poor ankle mobility. Oly lifting shoes can help this. The raised heel platform of an olympic lifting shoe means squatting requires less range of motion in the ankle.

In theory this is awesome. It allows someone who previously struggled to have good squat form to get in a much more optimal position. Probably not. Most likely, they will forget the whole ankle thing was ever an issue, and always use their Oly shoes when squats show up in a workout. But guess what? It was a personal experiment. The result? However these doubles at lb kg felt really good!

I felt stronger and more stable than ever. Related is the argument that if a lifter is already mobile enough to sit into a good squat position, lifting shoes are unnecessary.

In my experience, these athletes are typically far overestimating the quality of their positions, but more importantly, this argument fails to take into account the force transfer and stability qualities. These have nothing to do with mobility, and offer a significant advantage in performance and safety over other shoes, which are like lifting while standing on a pile of marshmallows in an inflatable raft.

Take a few weeks to ease into your full training intensity and volume. Videos by Hookgrip.
