FLAT vs HEEL ELEVATED Shoes for Lifting | When & Why Use Each

fitness No Comments »

WHY USE FLAT SHOES: https://thatfitfriend.com/flat-shoes-for-lifting/

When deciding between flat versus heel elevated shoes for lifting there are a lot of factors to consider.

Instead of just choosing one style of footwear because “everyone else does it”, I think it’s more productive to consider your anatomy and how you’re training to help select the best tool (shoe) for the job.

In this video, I’ll cover some differences to note between flat versus heel elevated shoes for lifting.

0:44 Why use flat shoes for lifting?
3:05 Why use lower heel-to-toe drop shoes?
4:41 Why use heel elevated shoes for lifting?
6:57 Flat Vs Heel Elevated Shoes Breakdown

Personally, I love rotating my footwear based on what I’m doing and when you look around online answers behind which type of shoe to go with can be vague and not super helpful.

When deciding between flat versus heel elevated shoes for training, try to keep your footwear selection in the wheelhouse of what’s going to benefit you best.

There can be a lot of overwhelming opinions when it comes to this topic and what’s most important is that you find what works best for you.

Why EVERYONE Should LIFT WEIGHTS

In this video, I go over why EVERYONE should lift weights, not just to build muscle but way more than that!
FULL GYM PROGRAM: https://bit.ly/fullgymprogram

30 DAY GARAGE PROGRAM: https://bit.ly/3igtiIF

In the past when I got the question “what do I need to do to transform my body?”, I would always respond with something generic like just find some form of fitness you love and do that. But in reality that will only get you so far. I think lifting weights is the only way to go, it will cause you to grow physically and emotionally.

Are Converse *STILL* GOOD FOR LIFTING In 2023?!

fitness No Comments »

CONVERSE FOR LIFTING: https://thatfitfriend.com/are-converse-good-lifting/

The Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star is a tried and true classic shoe for strength training and lifting.

Over the last decades, countless athletes and lifters have turned to Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star shoes for their flat sole constructions and good stability. For example, Converse are regularly worn by powerlifters for these reasons.

In this video, I’ll cover if Converse are good for lifting and discuss their performance for squats, deadlifts, and what shoes actually out perform them.

0:00 Converse Intro
0:24 Are Converse Good for Lifting?
1:38 When Converse Fall Short for Lifting
3:28 Are Converse Good for Squats?
5:06 Are Converse Good for Deadlifts?
6:35 What to Use Instead of Converse
8:12 Final Thoughts

Overall, the Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star is a good shoe for lifting and it will work for most lifters especially beginner and intermediate lifters.

I think Converse start to fall short as you get more specific with your training and want something a little more dialed in for how you lift.

Plus, in 2023 we now have more shoe options than ever for supporting our strength training and lifting performance.

The Pros & Cons of Using Lifting Chalk

fitness No Comments »

In this QUAH Sal, Adam, & Justin answer the question “I know you are not fans of wrist straps, because of losing the potential grip strengthening. What about chalk, liquid, or powder? My hands sweat a lot and chalk seems to help with that, but I don’t want to hinder my grip strengthening.”

If you would like to get your own question answered, follow us on Instagram where we post QUAH requests weekly.
