Not a form issue but a question. Anyone else noticing a lot fo guys doing squats in socks lately? Why is that?

Great...here comes some analysis as I just watched the video.

The shoes that he has taken off appear to be what eventually became your standard running shoe with a 12mm heel-to-toe drop. That means that when Ethan wears those shoes, his heel is 12mm higher off the ground than his toes are in the shoes. There are shoes that have a 0 drop which some like to wear when lifting. By lifting in his socks, Ethan is standing flat on the floor instead of having his heels higher.

I don't know how girls walk in high heels let alone a dude do squats in them.

(I have the average reading comprehension of your average HMaxer)

Yep...its funny...I walk into the S&C sweatshop my son works out in (wideout sophomore) and the kids are either in their socks...or now...everyone wears Vans for the 0 drop in heel. I'm like, is this a surfer convention or a football team? :Confused::Wave:

I've seen that. There are several options out there besides Vans or Converse All-Stars that are athletic shoes.

At much less weight than that ive seen standard shoes blow out. Especially running shoes. Popped some Nike Airs back in the day. Made a squishing sound with every step
