How often do you train barefoot in the weight room?

Question

Matt Eiden · Answer

I try to train Barefoot in the weight room at least two, or three times a week, especially during lower body workouts. So a few days a week, the only thing that I have to be careful of personally, is what I do like split squats or movements where reverse lunges, where my back foot is, putting my big toe. I like a 90 degree of flexion. Sometimes aggravates my toe a little bit, so if I'm doing deadlifts or Ian's or squats or things, where I'm not getting my back. Big toe into aggressive of a position. I definitely have it all Barefoot but what I'm doing moves like that at least keep shoes on my non-working like the one that's in the back, but I like to do Barefoot as much as possible especially in my lower body days so I'd say two or three days a week, but then some days I'll mix in balance or core stability, type stuff where I'm doing Barefoot things. And every day when I do my warmup, I guess I do it barefoot Foot when I have the time and the ability. So I try to do Barefoot as much as I can, but definitely two or three times a week doing my leg workouts or my balance and stability training.

Every day. And the reason why is because the Footwear our athletes are choosing to wear on court is actually making their feet week desensitized to proprioception, as well as unaware of just where we're at in space. And I think that getting the shoes off, getting the socks off on a day-to-day situation is going to help reinvigorate and understand from the athletes mind perspective of Where my body is in space because now, I can feel foot pressure. That being said, train is a very subjective word. Am I doing lifting and Barefoot? Am I doing agility and Barefoot? Not necessarily because you have to build up tolerance for that. But I do think that when we get our athletes in the weight room, having a period of time 10, 15 minutes where they're out of shoes, feeling different textures being in different positions and shapes is definitely going to allow the The athlete to build those intrinsic foot muscles to build, proprioception to build foot pressure, accessibility. And that is going to help the athlete be more, aware on court, simply put

How often do we train Barefoot in the weight room pretty frequently to be honest based off an athlete's evaluation assessment? We always try to start out, working Barefoot in the the warm-up and prep stages of the work out and of course depending on injury history or what's going on. You know, we're pretty careful about how much time and intensity we're spending with exercises outside of the shoes because it can be pretty traumatic for the athlete that never does anything outside of their shoes. So we start our very simple with our warm up and prep at activities and then certainly build up some volume and work through that process. And the weight room. I love to have shoes off as much as possible. And most recently it's been really mostly for our you know trap are deadlift exercises and everything else. I've honestly just got the shoes back home and just because it gets very busy in our weight room gym and I'm pretty concerned - and conservative and cautious about a kid hitting their toll on, you know, maybe a dumb doll in the ground or, or something something that's going on, when it's pretty crazy. So I would like to spend a little more time with their shoes off, but it just happens to be more convenient to, to pick certain exercises that we feel. It better benefit from doing Barefoot training, so it gets a limited sometimes in the weight room.

I have all my clients including myself workout Barefoot. I have the benefit of being in a small Studio. I own the small spoon studio with a business partner. So things are pretty clean and uncluttered and people are in there. Typically one person at a time so for sanitary considerations, that's easy. I also have my clients training on in a bow so matinee boso which actually is a texture. 2.1 discrimination. Texture that up trains and stimulates the superficial nerves of the foot. So it's really important to look from the foot all the way up when you're working, particularly your lower body. So I consider that a huge advantage to be training. Barefoot,

How often do I train? Barefoot in the weight room, myself and all of my athletes. Our number one objective is that we can and feel like training in bare feet. The toes have a job, the foot has a job. The ankle has a job and we want the cleanest ability of supporting our entire system on those feet and ankles in the cleanest possible way. So we're going to train Barefoot as long as there's no pain. We also look really closely at the level of Of fatigue that the athlete brings into the strength training area. If there's a high training load going on right now. I might try to get that athlete, perhaps back in into a shoe and just give them a little bit more support a little bit more cushion. Not probably going to put them under a lot of load anyway so I'm looking at pain and fatigue as limiting factors with Barefoot training.

How often do you train Barefoot in the white room? I'm going to give you two different scenarios that will necessitate two different solutions. So if your primary objective is to go into the weight room and lift a traditional load in a linear Direction. So think the classic Squat and deadlift and your goal is to maximize strength outcome, then you would want to wear something completely opposite to the Barefoot trainer solution. So gov the classic weightlifting shoe, that's high platform, rigid motion, and that environment is designed to keep you stable. Because when you're stable, you can maximize muscle recruitment to generate strength in a linear Direction. However, if your goal is movement task-oriented, then what you would want to do is engage in platforms or environments shoes. Shoes that are Barefoot and allow motion to occur because the foot and ankle in a standing position is the first point of contact with the ground and it Aggregates and contributes to 3d motion on and up the chain that is predicated upon the Foot and Ankle success. So one scenario need a rigid platform, classic weight training in another setting, you need a shoe that allows you Motion in three planes of motion, so it depends.
