Why deadlift without shoes?

[hamburg5]

I wanted to know why people deadlift without shoes sometime ? ive seen it in the gym and didnt know why they did that.

It's an inch less to have to pull

I much prefer to workout and run barefoot because no shoe in existance can truly be like what our feet are shaped naturally

of course you cannot do that in the gym and if someone was a prick they would complain cause of foot fungus

I have never tried it so I cant say.

It's best to squat and deadlift in bare feet or in minimalist shoes so you have good ankle mobility

The less distance the bar has to travel the more weight you can lift.
Also if the show has relatively high heel it can cause you to til forward when initiating the pull.
