Shoes

The main accessory that helps in weightlifting are shoes - a wide, hard sole will give us stability in uncomfortable positions, and a highly elevated heel will allow you to maintain a maximum vertical body silhouette in the squat. Weightlifting shoes were developed for Olympic weightlifting. By lifting the heel and having a rigid, flat sole, these shoes have the ability to maximize the reaction force to the ground, while helping the ankles, knees, hips and spine to lift the bar. Nike, Adidas and Reebook are the most popular among weightlifters.
