guys, I've been into oly lifting for a little while now, and I'm wondering–do you really need lifting shoes in training.
IM MAINLY ASKING FOR THIS REASON:
during squats, shouldn't you be squatting flat, even with a narrow stance? i know it makes it easier to make your knees come forward, but would doing squats without n elevated heel make you stronger all around?
Yes, if you plan to compete because it's required. Else, doing it barefoot is just fine. :3
Why use weightlifting shoes? The high heels make it easier for the lifter to not strain one's ankles if not flexible, and it's very stable.
