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 125 of the Squat University podcast.

The goal with each and every one of these shows is to bring you as much value-pat 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 Ursus 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 toebox and smashing your foot

into an unnatural position. If you want to enhance your 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, squats, and deadlifts for over a year and a half now. And I just

absolutely love them. I also wear them to work most days during the week. They're extremely comfortable and they're not going to break your bank like most of the other lifting shoes out there on the market. Now, if you go on barefoot athletics.com and that's B-E-A-R, like the animal, and use the code to squat you, you can get up to 10% off on 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. Now, today's podcast is going to be

slightly different than some of the other ones I've done before. I ask some of you guys on

Instagram, whether or not you would like to hear the audio version, I guess my thoughts, my process of going

through an evaluation for certain types of injuries, just to give you guys a different glimpse

behind the scenes of what I do as a sports physical therapist on a day-by-date basis,

and just give you guys some interesting cases that may also provide

some insight into some of the things that you may be dealing with yourself as an athlete.
