So I've been told time and time again that chucks aren't good for weightlifting so I'm looking for a shoe with more of a heel, a weightlifting shoe.
I got some questions however. I understand that the heel makes it easier to get into a deep squat position when catching the bar. However, what if you don't have any mobility issues with getting down there (not saying I don't, just wondering)
I now do a program with quite a bit of cleans, snatches and front squats, which I guess I should use the weightlifting shoes for.
but what about the power versions where I don't need to go deep to catch, or just the pulls for that matter, like clean pulls, etc?
But what about back squats and RDLs? Should I put on my chucks for those?
I say weightlifting shoes for front squats since I will need to mimic how I squat to catch the clean as best as possible..
Thanks for any input!
God, finding a place that sells weightlifting shoes up here is gonna be hard.. it's such a small sport here
