Oddbean new post about login | logout Training without shoes, day 2: feet are more stable, toes are taking more space, particularly the pinky toes (toespacers+++). Feels great for deadlifts and squats. Sumo squats feel amazing. At the same time more range of motion at the base of the toes. Lunges and split squats feel different. I have to get used to these. Not used to my feet bending freely without the training shoes. Heavy weights feel great for all of it. Better than with shoes.
I'm gonna try this node! Thanks for posting about it again.
I also do leg day in vibrams, or barefoot depending on what grip I need. One trick for squats is put a foam pad under just your heels. Adds balance and let's you get lower
Also for deadlifts I do them barefoot but have 3-4 foam pads so I can get a deeper back stretch on the bottom part without hitting ground
This is interesting. Do you use something similar for lunges?
I haven't figured out a good way to get more stretch on the lunges but those are also barefoot 😁
I find the toespacers + barefoot add a lot of mobility to my foot and I can go deeper in the lunge. Gotta get used to it. I’m used to a bit less range of motion with the shoes
Love it, nostr is for optimizing leg day 😂
Growing nostr, one leg day at a time 😂

I've been working out barefoot for so many years, that shoes feel very awkward to workout in. Vibrams are the only way to go for me, if I have to wear shoes. I'm waiting for the day they make 5-finger dress shoes 🙏. I'll wear them, I don't care what people think.
Ah cuban mentionned this also. What is vibram? The shoes where you can see the toes, as if your foot was palmed ?
https://www.vibram.com/ Yep, that's right. https://image.nostr.build/48cdc1687db620c8e7c0cfa603c99d3be0b38d3a93b5b4339d130356b0323e51.jpg
You wear them all day? Or it’s made for training/running. I see some runners with these outside
I think Im doing it wrong: https://m.primal.net/LmRh.png
Nightmare fuel
🤣
Imagine walking around with those. Intense pain with every step. 😂
Chinese footbinding is wild.
Horrific practice 😬 How to do the contrary of common sense
Memes are powerful. If we could just converge naturally on the common maxmimum good we'd already be there.
I wonder if memes transcend cultural differences like these. I guess they would need to be available there in the first place
Get some help, also congratulations, seriously
It depends. In the spring, summer & fall, I'll wear flip-flops everyday that I can. I spend my days in skates, so I like to wear open toe shoes if possible. When it's colder in the fall and spring, I wear vibrams. In the winter, I have to wear boots, unfortunately. When I workout, since I have a home gym, I train barefoot. However, if I go somewhere that requires shoes, I'll put on vibrams. Anytime I go hiking, unless it's in the winter, I put on vibrams as well.
Btw, altra lone peak has a wide toe box if it's cold or you need a shoe. Vibrams makes their soles https://i.nostr.build/paEYcfzFI6Fcxb57.jpg
