Let's go!

Now, let's start the show.

Hey, what's up, podcast?

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

This is episode 86, 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 body's aches and pains

and help you reach your true athletic potential.

Today's podcast is sponsored by barefoot athletics.

Now when it comes to lifting heavy weight, we need a shoe that allows us to get the

most out of our body. For those of you out there that enjoy lifting in a minimalist type

shoe, barefoot athletics, which is co-founded by Chris Duffin, who I'm sure many of you just saw

squat at 1,000 pounds for three reps, they just released their first ursus shoe, which is one of the

first ever minimalist-type

barefoot shoes designed specifically for strength athletes.

Now, for many powerlifters out there, you're often going to see a lot of people using

your standard Chuck Taylor shoe because it's a flat sole shoe.

But trust me, this shoe is 10 times better and more optimal for heavy lifting.

It's not even close.

It's got a wide toebox for your toes to evenly spread out to deliver that good stability from the ground up.
