But, if you are going heavy on front squats (and I know that "heavy" is a relative term), then I think OL shoes are the most appropriate.Borishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13965125392095147170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3040363452505236063.post-31751336212551596322011-04-09T11:53:42.514-05:002011-04-09T11:53:42.514-05:00Hi Boris.

After I stopped doing that, and focusing more on keeping the tension, it feels a lot better.<br /><br />I have one more question about front squats, more exactly front squats with weightlifting shoes.<br />I have been using them for front squats extensively the last year or so. I can go deep without them, but I still use them. But I have started to wonder why.<br />Whats the pros/cons of using them? It feels like my knees travel even more forward with them on.<br /><br />Is it better to use them even though I dont kneed them to do full range of motion front squats? Why? Why not? Arent more muscles recruited without them?<br /><br />Thanks, and hope all is well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3040363452505236063.post-12173747499542976072011-04-09T11:27:20.613-05:002011-04-09T11:27:20.613-05:00Thanks, Boris - appreciate the help.
