Shoeless jogging

[alwaysgrowing]

two days later and my calves are still sore. Hurts going up and down stairs

Same here. I ran with shoes on but with forefoot strikes on Wednesday and my calves are still on fire. :rofl:

On this topic of shoeless jogging, won't you get a better leg workout doing squats shoeless as well?

A few people at my gym do this, and as I was doing squats today I was thinking of taking my shoes off for 5 sets

the biggest benefit to lifting barefoot or with minimalist shoes (I wear the Vibrams now) is the fact that you dont get any side to side movement. When you put heavy weights on padded running shos they compress and it can allow your ankles to roll. In a way its similar to guys lifting in work boots.

Yea man, I notice that. That ankle roll can mess you up.

So I tried this the other day, I now have massive bruising, a possible stress fracture, lacerations and dog shit all over foot. Thanks for this great idea!

Well, you were not supposed to go run on the street the first time you did it... :retard:

Yea, I've seen people wear those all the time.

Yeah, I've been thinking of picking up a pair. I guess you get them at REI, so I might stop by and take a look. I think I'll run indoors (much as I hate the treadmill) for a while barefoot to get used to forefoot strikes before I drop $85 on a pair of VFFs.
