I just go barefoot.

hey dlove how you been?

whatever you do dont use a running shoe as they make u tip foward

fuck, never realized that. I've had that problem several times when going for heavy deads. Is that why people go barefoot or wear flat shoes?

I just saw a nice article in Ironman about why one should wear mocassins or slippers while performing squats. It accentuates the extensor reflex by allow more sensation to reach your feet. Apparently Fred Hatfield and another guy, who I can't remember, were very big on this. I bet PB knows more about it than I do.

Ya'all should see the bottoms of those moccs. Or should I say lack thereof?
