Barefoot Weightlifting

It is best to lift weights barefoot, why? Maximal engagement and connection with the ground.

For example, if Hadthor deadlifted 501 kilograms barefoot, shouldn’t you?

Go barefoot when doing any form of extreme weightlifting/powerlifting/hypelifting — deadlift, squat, squat hold, atlas hold, atlas lift, rack pull, etc.
