Squatting in running shoes

Is it a meme that I shouldn’t squat in running shoes? Can it fuck me up in any way?

Also I’m about to go do a high rep squat workout 4x20 with just a plate maybe 185 just to switch things up. Good idea?

i don't know from experience but its probably fine. I wouldn't want to use them for something like say a RM

fucking stupid.

always been told flat soles are better. i couldnt tell you the mechanics of why, but if you try both the flat sole is pretty obviously more comfortable and stable when ur squatting

It’s because runners are squishy and u have to use more force o get weight up. Also balance

Running shoes put your ankles at an odd angle which makes keeping your balance a little more difficult. Best with flat soled shoes, or barefoot.

Because in traditional running shoes heel is raised by 10mm.

won't matter unless you are gde or pushing 4pl8

The issue isn't so much being "flat" (oly shoes aren't flat). It's that running shoes are soft and squishy. They don't make a firm solid base.

Imagine if you were doing bench press, but instead of a nice firm bench, you were benching while laying on a water bed. That's basically what happens when squatting in sneakers.

Also daily reminder that if you don't feel like spending 100+ dollarydoos on meme squat shoes, you can literally just squat in dress shoes because they have a raised heel and a solid sole.

and? olympic shoes are lifted even more
it's because they're flimsy and soft

tfw I've been doing SS for a month wearing running shoes

>SS noob gains babby giving his opinion
that's nice

Yes it will literally fuck the arch of your foot because of the cushion in the sole. You wont feel it at first but overtime continuously you will. Your better off squatting barefoot but in all honesty Flat sole chucks or even knockoffs are 20$. You can even get a decent pair of weightlifting shoes for 150$. Stop being a cuck. Its literally almost the same as heel striking while running.

hmmm so this is why I've had a tear and scar tissue in the arch of my foot for 10 days now. I started squatting in socks today.

>Squatting in dress shoes

Imagine being this much of a zoomer fag.

I have runners with soles that fix weird foot posture, is squatting in them worse than squatting in regular runners?

this

I broke an ankle with barely a pl8 on my back (then-max was like 3.5) because I forgot my usual lifting shoes in a hurry and thought it wouldn't matter for a quick 3x10. squishy unstable sonsabitches cost me a fortune in doc bills and 10 months of valuable time I intended to use to get stronk for motherland

I used to squat in boots for similar reasons, it worked well but I felt like a faggot throughout

on a scale from obama to national geographic how black are you?

Is using tennis shoes ok

Anything with a thin or hard sold is fine.

whiter than an albino's balls, I make the Irish look like sandniggers in comparison. why?

black people have weak ankles, glad i could explain the joke for you

just go barefoot. Sauishy squats are dangerous af
