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 checking out today's show. This is episode

119 of the Squat University podcast. The goal with each and every one of these shows is to bring you as much value-packed content to help you move better in the gym and in life, decrease your bodies 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 weight 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 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

athletics.com and that's B-E-A-R, like the animal, and use the code squat you, you can get

10% off your order. And that's for everything on their website, including the correct toe

spaceers that I also wear every day. And you can learn about more in my 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 have a protein shake

and just try to chase it down with something quick like a bar, a Greek yogurt, or something

else, basically anything I can get down quickly before jumping right back into the workday.

Then I found 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 just comes in the bottle, you just add water and shake it up before 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 on the
