I'd use the search function.

It has been highly debated about 100 times over the years on this forum.

And nobody squats big without shoes.

i think the bottom line is simple. if you have been training for a while and know how to keep safe onder the bar, can progress in your lifts and try barefoot and feal better with it that with shoes than the answer for you as to squat barefoot. if you try it and it does not feal right than dont do it. chucks are my #2 choice.

to the deads question i wear my shoes doing deads and all other lifts except squats. i havent worn shoes doing squats for probably over a year now. i dont know what i max but i can get 405 ass to the floor for 6 not that high but im not a pl'er either.

LOL...Clint, everything has been highly debated over the years. We'd never have any new threads if everyone followed your advice.

Well now that you went there, I squat in my undees. One of those weird lifter things we all have. I got the idea years ago that anything on my thighs, even like shorts, distracted me when squatting.

Yeah, but this one erks me to the 10th degree...lol

Heck...I guess it all does...lol

(I am smiling though)

At a point I had to really start learning from guys who did more than me in life and I had to stick to what they did for a time, picking, choosing, and learning what was and wasn't working for me. I've never met anyone who was a good successful squatter who was barefoot.

Lots of guys are big pullers barefoot though!
