Nice squat... My squat got renovated after reading Mark Rippetoe's book, but I'm gettin back up there. I PRd on the deadlift yesterday lifting barefoot. I was pretty proud of myself. My 160 lb runners body pulling 325 off the floor. That leads me to a question for you all though.

Do any of you use lifting shoes? If so, which ones and why?

How about barefoot lifting?

I've been lifting in running shoes my whole life, but recently have been reading why that is wrong. Makes sense, but do I really want to invest in a new set of shoes? Maybe... thoughts?
