I don't really jog though. I go on hikes and these will be great for that, but mostly I wanted them for weight training.

Arnold always suggested performing the squat and deadlift (leg movements) barefoot and they even now sell weight training shoes.

These are running shoes, but again, I loved them for the squat and deadlift. These shoes allowed me to really push my butt back and get my glutes activated. This is ideal for these two lifts. I was really able to stay on my heels while normal shoes would encourage me to lean forward.

Leaning forward is where most people fail at these lifts and that is the Number 1 reason I love this shoe.

Before I got the Bare Access 2 I was rocking some Nike 6.0 mid or high top (I really don't even know). I preferred those better than my other running shoes because the soles were flat. The problem was that the shoe was heavy.

Happy Monday. Ever get those days where you just don't feel like workin' out. It happens to everyone I am sure. Usually once you get moving and the blood starts flowing, muscles start pumping, it is that moment when you are glad you came.

Everybody needs a little motivation to workout. Here is something that might help in that department.

This is Richard Hawthorne, he weighs 132 pounts. He obviously works his ass off and pulls heavy weight. He doesn't have any problem finding his workout motivation -- to be the strongest pound for pound lifter on this planet!

Here is some motivation to get the week started;

Have a great week. Lift Heavy, Eat Healthy.
