Class is in session.

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

Let's go!

Now, let's start the show.

Podcast listeners, thank you so much for checking out today's show.

This is episode 88 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 bodies, aches and

pains, and help you reach your true athletic potential.

Today's podcast is sponsored by Barefoot Athletics.

If you're a strength athlete serious about performance, you know the type of shoe

you wear can make a big difference. For those of you 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 wide

toe box 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 or smashing your foot into an unnatural position with some

of these shoes I know you guys have lifted in before. I've been lifting in the Eursa shoe for any

non-Olympic days for a few weeks now and I absolutely love them. If you go onto barefoot athletics.com, that's B-E-A-R, like the animal, and use the code

squat you right now, you can get 10% off your order.

So check that out.

Now, on today's podcast, we are going to talk about why a shoe, like the ursus, with such a wide

toe box and a zero drop is so important

for us as athletes and really as human beings.
