Title says if all. Anyone ever switched from a heeled squat back to a flat sole?
Squats been feeling kinda lousy lately. I've been squatting in a heel for a while and I kind of wanted to try flat soled squats. I feel like I can get more hip involvement with a flat sole. Anyone do both? What are your thoughts?

The heel elevation is a bit of a handicap. It makes it easier to rely on the posterior chain from head to toe in spite of its balance with the front core.

Flats for wide stance comp style
Heels for fronts
Depends for variations
Socks, nah 😂 I have too much lateral force transfer to squat or pull in socks. Just slide out of em.FMH crew - Couch.
