Do you wear shoes when you deadlift?
While recording my deadlifts today I noticed some slight knee valgus from wearing my super cushion shoes.
Even though I’m trained to see it, I didn’t feel it happening until reviewing the video. Our bodies often compensate without us even knowing it!
Took off the shoes and BOOM. My lift looked and felt way better!
Sometimes I’m just not in the mood to take my shoes off- but it paid off today. 4 sets of 8 reps with my bodyweight felt really great! I’m excited to go heavier next time.
