It’s common to see people performing a barbell squatting with running shoes on, yet that’s probably the worst shoe to wear for squats. When we squat, we want a stable foot and solid base to maximise force transfer.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A running shoe is designed to absorb the impact when your foot makes contact with the ground, so if you’re squatting in them is a bit like trying to squat whilst standing on a mattress. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A weightlifting shoe is perfect for squatting as it has a hard sole. They also allow you to stay a bit more upright and squat deeper due to the raised heel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When deadlifting, you want a hard sole to maxmise force transfer, but want to avoid a raised heel as this will increase your distance from the ground, meaning you have to move the weight further to lock out.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Split Squats - Right vs Wrong.
.
❌ - I will preface this by saying there is no definitive ‘wrong’. However, performing split squats with an upright torso WILL place more stress through the back knee and less tension through the thigh / glute of the front leg. You will also struggle to load the exercise with any appreciable weight this way.
.
✅ - A slight hinge at the hips and forward lean of the torso will keep the load firmly in the front leg (thigh / glute) keeping the load on the muscles and minimal stress on the joints.
.
Think about the front hip reaching ‘back and down’ as you descend. And ‘feel’ the whole of your front foot throughout the repetition.
.
Once you nail the technique, don’t be afraid to load it up. I myself will use 40kg / side or more for 6-8 reps.
.
I think everyone should aim to handle their own body weight in dumbbell load. This represents a good level of functional strength.
.
Try them out this way and tell me how they feel below

Energy = The currency of the body
It takes a considerable amount of energy just to keep your body running, let alone build new muscle or other tissue. That’s why energy is often called the “currency” of the body: you have to spend it wisely since you can only produce so much in a given day.
Regardless of your goals, if you want to make progress, the most important thing is to choose how you want to spend your energy.
If you need to improve your aerobic conditioning, spend the majority of your time and energy doing just that, while only spending the minimum amount necessary to maintain strength and power.
If you’re trying to get bigger and stronger, the first rule means that you should only do the amount of conditioning work than it takes to avoid losing what you already have.
Doing more than that is not better.
Fact: The higher your levels of fitness, the more important it becomes to separate different types of training.
