As a kinesiologist I’m perplexed as to why this guy emphasizes heel wedges when lifting low weight. I get that he’s reducing the risk of injury but why not force the players to lift in platform shoes instead of regular cushioned shoes?
That platform is for it to not put too much stress in the Achilles tendon ligament and strain it later on. If you wear flat shoes, it takes away some of the effectiveness of the workout.
Platform shoes are raised in the heel providing a wedge like assistance.
When performing a deadlift, snatch, clean and jerk it allows the lifter to naturally lean forward in front of the bar.
Probably because not all exercises in the workout need platform shoes. According to the pics the lunges are done with the foot flat.

You’re right, Mark. Chris Harris gives me chills; finally a true center on UH basketball roster.

Can’t wait for the 2019 class, now that the 2018 has been pretty much done, for a while now. Should be a monster class.
