Squat form


I do high bar Olympic squats without lifting shoes. The guy makes the point in a brief side notation you have to lift wearing lifting shoes when doing Olympic squats.  Lifting shoes have  high heels on them which enables your ankles to take on a less severe  bent  position because the angle between your shin and the top of your foot is widened. The idea is that you'll be able to lift more wearing them.

 I'm conflicted about lifting shoes. On  one hand you'll lift more with them. That's true.    On the other hand are you really the one lifting that weight while wearing lifting shoes. I  don't  know. You decide.
