Second Bird’s advice. Great to see you in socks (bare feet are better but I understand you are in a commercial gym). My ankle mobility is not the best… and I am tall, so I use Oly shoes and love them. Bit of an investment. I actually am using them anytime I do leg days so that includes SLDL, and DL’s. But for heavy DL I usually go back to bare feet.

Great to see you putting the work in.

Cheers,
Needa
