Class is in session.

You're listening to Squat University by Dr. Aaron Horshick.

Let's go!

Now, let's start the show.

Hey, what's up, podcast listeners?

Thank you so much for taking out today's show.

This is episode 120 of the Squat University podcast.

The goal with each and every one of these shows is to bring you as much value-pad content to help you move better in the gym and in life, decrease your body's aches and pains and help you reach your true athletic potential. Today's podcast is sponsored by barefoot athletics. Here's the deal. If you want to lift big weights with great technique, you need the right shoe. And for those of you out there that like to lift in a flat sole shoe like a Chuck Taylor,

you need to check out the Ursa's shoe by Barefoot Athletics. They have a super wide toebox that

allows you to naturally splay your toes out and use your foot like it was designed. No more cramming

your foot into a narrow toe box and smashing your foot

into an unnatural position. If you want to enhance foot stability, your technique control, and

eventually your performance, you need to check out this shoe. I've been lifting in them with most of my

non-Olympic lifts for over a year now and I absolutely love them. They're extremely comfortable

and they're not going to break your bank like a lot of other lifting shoes out there. If you go on barefoot athletics.com and that's B-E-A-R, like the animal, and use the code squat you, you can get up to 10% off your order. And that's for everything on their website, including the correct toe toe spacers that I also wear every day and you can learn more about in my prior podcast, Why Your Shoes Suck with Dr. Ray McClanahan. Today's show is also sponsored by Ample. If you guys are like me, your day-to-day schedule is crazy busy and you don't always have time to sit down and eat a good meal after your workout. I usually try to have a protein shake or chase it down with something like a quick bar, Greek yogurt, or basically anything else I can get down quickly before jumping right back

into the workday.

And then I find myself an hour later just starving.

Ample solves this problem of not having enough time during the day to fuel your body optimally.

They make a powder drink that comes in a bottle, you just add water, shake it up,

and start drinking.

And check this out, each bottle is either 400 or 600 calories, including a ton of protein

and loaded with good fats and carbs from high quality foods that you can actually recognize
