>people will actually still tell you to squat, clean, snatch and do other lifts barefoot
Why the fuck did internet autists convince people to squat barefoot or in flats in the first place? Even Rippetoe of all people says lifting without proper weightlifting shoes is dumb.

rippetits is a grifter and his cult followers are frauds
squatting in flat shoes helps build ankle mobility
your pic is literally a tool to cheat out of building ankle mobility
>b-b-but a-all these c-competitors a-always use h-high heels
all of them are also 300lbs lardasses, i'm not a powertard

>>76374505
You can just use shoes and also improve your ankle mobility
There is nothing mutually exclusive about doing both

>>76374505
>muh ankle mobility
>muh lardasses
Just admit you're a midwit who got psyoped already. Even the handpicked genetically perfect ankle and hip mobility chinese lifters picked out by the CCP still use weightlifting shoes with a huge heel. My ankle ability improved a shit ton after using weighlifting shoes.

What? Professional athletes cheat?

I put 20kg on my squat just by putting change plates under my heels. I could also put 20lg on my bench press if I put them under the front legs of the bench but what's the point?

People use squatting shoes because it's allowed due to majority of contestants can't squat deep. It's a legal cheat. So if you can already squat deep, you get a massive advantage.

You're wearing high-heels for men.

>i am better at cleaning and snatching than the best people in the world because i don't wear shoes

I'd use proper lifting shoes if they had a nice toebox, I don't want to get rural chinese woman feet to add a couple of Kgs to my squats

>>76375265

If you don't do weightlifting, and were only going to use them for squats, you really aren't missing out on too much, so don't stress yourself about it.

I don't squat or deadlift barefoot because gym floors are fucking gross

Why are people squatting on wedges these days? It looks… dangerous

>>76375484
Get a job you lazy subhuman, that's not even expensive

>>76375190
You are the one assuming you're better than everyone else because you use some faggot high heels, when 99% of people gets extra gains from not using them.

>>76375451
Buy adidas power perfect instead, they look better imho

>>76375190
You're not very smart. I am not better than them at it. They are cheating. These are not contradictory statements.

Weightlifting shoes are God tier.

If you use wedges or plates you are fucking reatarded because you aknowledge you need them, BUT you wont wear them, so you risk steppingg off the plate or wedge, turning an ankle, falling, etc. If you squat hard, heavy and often you know that you must frequently take a small step back or forward to adjust during your set. Or you misgroove, lose your balance and nened to take a lsight step. USing a plate or wedge means you lsot the ability to regroup and finish the set.

Weightlifting shoes make you feel like youre nailed to the floor. I liove them for squats.

I dont use them for dealdifts, because I do feel like I build more tension in my hamstrings without them. But Im a weird, 6'5" lank monster.

Also, who the fuck needs "ankle mobility"? Ballerinas? I want to lift heavy and get jacked. Fuck ankle mobility.

It's due to retards trying to get a calf exercise in at the same time.

>>76376487
I have hiking boots that cost well over €400, as well as similarly priced dress shoes. You'd be fucking retarded to spend €300 on a simple sneaker with a rubber heel and outsole.

>nah bro, you can't just lift, you need special shoes.
One of us has been convinced of something, and it wasn't me, bro.
