T & A

girouxmcisaak asked: Hey guys. I love the website. One minor issue with your last article: Running shoes are good for the gym if you're going to be doing cardio, but they aren't the best for weightlifting, particularly with squats and deadlifts. For that, Chucks are actually the better choice to prevent injury.

Thanks so much for writing—you aren’t the first person to point this out. 

You are right, flat bottom shoes like chucks are best for certain exercises.  I was trying to speak in generalities that the shoes you wear to the bar shouldn’t be the shoes you work out in. 

You obviously know what you are doing.  I think I underestimated our readership and their level of gym related knowledge.
