My first box squats

[pwr_machine]

I use the deadlift (wrestling) shoes because they are flat and close to the ground.

I could always see a huge difference between tennis shoes and wrestling shoes. The weight was always SO much easier to pull when I was closer to the ground.

yeah its defiantly easier to pull back when wearing wrestling shoes vs. tennis shoes. helps me get my weight on my heels instead of my toes.

Glad to see someone has had similar experiences.

Excellent thread.

I've received notification from Bigguns15's sponsor that we could easily alter her squat shoes to a flatter sole if necessary. We'll be playing around with her deadlifts shoes and see if such a change might be necessary.

I keep watching this video and I just can't find flaws in it. Her form looks 10x better than it has in the past. I'm still open to trying a flatter soled shoe to compare her performance, but I'm pretty happy with the way these look.

The only thing I can says is letting the hips relax on the box and pausing. When coming out of the paused low position, the hips are forced to work big time. This is a technique that I use. To sum it up:

sit back, let hips relax, pause, then explode out of the hole.

I see what you're saying.

I look forward to even more responses.
