Ya for a girl, I guess her advice is okay.

I bet if I ever met you in real life Harddog, you'd probably just bodyslam me, kick me in the ribs a few times, jump on top of me and punch me in the face like 5 times (but it wouldn't hurt).

Lol, key word looking.

I'm glad I'm safely at home where she can't hurt me.

Hmmm, okay then. I just recommended chucks because they have completely flat feet and no compresiveness. For standing exercises that require perfectly flat feet on the ground like squats or overhead presses, chucks work wonderfully. I don't know what to recommend in your situation though.

Those exercises don't require perfectly flat feet on the ground. There is a reason olympic lifters have shoes with heels.

This little heel helps you get deep into the bottom of a squat, and provides more quads involevment in squats and deadlifts which helps you to get out of the hole.

Powerlifters usually use chucks because of the wide stance, which is a bit different and does not benefit from a heel.

I didn't know that. I use a wide stance when I squat because it takes the pressure off my knees, so chucks are perfect for me for getting my feet flat.

You should try it with normal stance (shoulder width) and low bar. It takes the pressure off the knees without eliminating quads involvment.

I've been trying it that way coldfire, but the only way I don't feel any pressure on my knees is by doing it wide stance. The quads are still worked no matter what stance you use, just not as much with a wider stance.

I developed tendonitus in my right knee from going too heavy too fast before, so now I do everything I can so that to involve my hamstrings, glutes, and adductors.

Coming from you Linda that is a huge compliment!

Unfortnately I do look stronger than I am. But certainly I can take Butthead301 any day. the harddog comment was a good one, but you didn't really think I could let that slide, now did you?
