Lose The Shoes

Believe me when I say it lifting barefoot isnt the most terrible thing you can do in the gym. Infact there has been many case study on the issue. Nowadays getting the right shoe can be a dreadful and dunting task. There are just so many sneakers to choose from. Take for instance Mizuno, Saucony, Adidas, Reebok, Nike, and Vibram. They all have hundreds of shoes to choose from leaving you helpless and confused, often choosing the right shoe based on popularity.


Lifting Barefoot lessens the distance you have to pull the bar on a deadlift. It even increases leverage and creates a wider surface helping you lift heavier weights. Training barefoot strengthens your feet and adds stability to your lifts.

Just Keep It Walking

Walking Lunge

Ever wonder if performing a walking lunge had a greater effect on your quads or hamstring, look no further. A Swedish study in which researchers had competitive soccer players complete 4 sets of 12 reps of walking lunges twice per week for six weeks. At the end of the study, the researchers found a 35% increase in hamstring strength, but no significant increase in quad strength. in terms of kinesiology this makes perfect sense. When you step forward, there is greater emphasis on the back leg due to the increase in weight and center of gravity in relation to your front leg.
