TRAINERSSS👟 they could be the reason you’re getting injured..
If you wear the incorrect shoes during weights training you can risk the rolling of ankles which connects through the knee up to your hip through the back and that can actually cause a lot of your knee pain that you’re experiencing. If you’re also in the wrong shoes, it can really affect your stability for example doing a reverse lunge and again causing issues further up the chain.
Flat shoes are fantastic for weights training, but you do still want a little bit of movement for the likes of lunges which is why i think Nike Metcon 6 are so good but also work for high intensity as they have the bend in the shoe.
Hyrox gang, running shoes are of course best for the running aspect but please be careful during walking lunges & wallballs as that style of trainer can cause ankle rolling which will really F*ck up the knees. Correct stance & technique is crucial.
However, at The Train Station I made the decision not to have lifting platforms. Our training whilst making you strong is not olympic lifting but functional meaning the platform is not necessary, our flooring is not slippery so if your shoes dont feel right for the exercise socks are ✅ BUT makes sure you’re not being careless so you dont drop any dumbbells on the toes 😆
