I think there is no need for it to hurt like hell to make this transition. Yes, there will be aches from muscles waking up and things stretching, and becoming mobile that were restricted by typical footwear. But it will only 'thrash your feet' if you abruptly swap shoes and carry on doing everything you did in the old, cushiony restrictive shoes. That would be kind of like coming out of a body cast and jumping right into an ambitious weight-training program. You wouldn't do that. You would start easy and for short sessions and build up the intensity & duration gradually.

As you probably know, the price is not about amount of material. It's research/design/development costs and market size. In some of the companies (Vivobarefoot for one) it's also about company philosophy of being responsible to people and the environment. Edit to add: Also this is not to say I don't appreciate your video; I very much do! Thanks for sharing your experience and recommending this healthy change to everyone.

I'm close to a year in barefoot shoes. I overpronated and spent almost a decade in ugly running shoes just so I could walk without joint pain. I really didn't want to make the investment in orthotics, and a google search brought me to barefoot shoes. With that came the education of foot health and how I can change my gait to walk without joint pain, and I've been doing just that. It really is life-changing. In my time in barefoot shoes, not a single person has said anything about my shoes unless I mentioned them first. Maybe it's a Canadian culture thing? I don't know. I was even at the tailor's today getting some shorts fitted, and I'm standing there in my toe socks, and he didn't say anything about them. I've had a much different experience than others I guess. :P And on the topic of price, there is a reason that they're more expensive, it's not as simple as less material should cost less money. All barefoot shoe companies, even Vivo and Xero, are small companies. They have to make their own lasts, their own designs, everything is made from scratch. They also prioritize ethics, and ethics aren't cheap. The Amazon brands or the big shoe corporations can have shoes made in Asian sweat shops for a few dollars, but companies like Vivo have their shoes made fairly in Europe. Some companies like Xero have them made in China, but they insist that they are compliant with fair labor guidelines and Steven Sashen himself visits the factory frequently. It also matters what materials are used and how they're sourced. It's a whole thing. 😅

Live your joy, no matter what it is. Never stop living and growing.

great outro bro, I’ve been trying to get out of the house going to the beach, runs, bike rides etc to chase the times and feelings of no responsibilities

great video man

we need more inclusive shoe sizes fr

For anyone struggling to find comfortable shoes, I wear Altra tennis shoes for work and they are great. They have zero drop and wide toe box with a variety of cushioned options. I’m a retail manager and work long days walking on concrete, as well as hybrid athletic exercise. I also have some smart looking leather sneakers from Lems in place of my old dress shoes for meetings and formal events. I’ve been wearing barefoot shoes exclusively for a year now and it’s been a huge improvement to my life.

I like being barefoot in the summer in my grass and at the beach if I go but not when I go out anywhere else. Shoes don't hurt my feet they protect them.

Huge proponent of barefoot shoes here. As you found out, easing into wearing barefoot shoes is generally a good idea. Both due to the pain you describe, but also because you calves will be stretched a lot more than in regular shoes that generally have a raised heel. Definitely remember my calves being quite sore for a week or two. I also ended up going up one shoe size on regular shoes and always wear them very loose.

thm steel toe boots kill u

whenever i get the chance i walk around barefoot, i truly think its the reason i never had any ankle injuries or strains

one of my favorite lines so far is "If you dont believe in a little magic your art probably sucks" (im an artist so that one resonated lol)

I need to stop watching these kinds of videos. My list of books to read is unreasonably long lmao. Good video! I love how passionately you discuss each book, even lot 49 😭

My greatest mistake was not finding The Gray Medium earlier...

keep it up bro the growth is coming along and i see u going far my man

gotta do a video on how to suck less at dieting now

(As promised 🤝) Good vid, learned something new.

This was a really great video. 👍

im in complete agreement with everything u said. from dips, stretch to grey/philosophy hehe... getting the stretch, focusing on negatives and positives, and going slow is what earns the best results for me. keep it up

for guys that are build with really long limbs, in-particular a long set of forearms, I personally was getting so much of a stretch on barbell bench press my shoulders would get cooked and could barely handle much volume. during my time powerlifting with a coach my shoulders never felt healthy, always sore and stiff. even with proper form. wasnt until i dropped barbell benching entirely and switching to mostly dips, push ups (with paralets for ROM) and its variations i noticed my pecs were still growing but my shoulders have never felt better. also emphasizing on stretching out still. was making okay gains with barbell but i could CONSISTENTLY train with enough intensity and volume without needing to constantly deload for my shoulders to catch up. calisthenics is the way for upperbody imo

I think that if your goal is to train the muscle the best, you should not remove you points of contact, since now you have to use your core muscles, while you want to train your chest om the standing press machine, for example. I think that the barbell just limits you to a single movement, by which you might not be training the whole pack. And of course the stretch. Whereas with the dumbbels, which are less stable, you have to use more of your pack. Idk… that’s my thought

jesse james east?

I definitely agree on the dips being better than the bench press, i have ditched the bb bench press as well, i have a question though, at what point do you think it would be wise to transfer to rings from a bar?

dam bro i actually need it this

Have you ever laid on your back on a mat with a couple of very light dumbbells in each hand. Hold them at a right angle to our head and let the weights hold you arms down to the floor where the back of your hands touch the floor. This is an awesome stretch across your chest and front delts. I have started doing a lot of dips now and I can see a difference.

Speaking of Jeff nippard, I’ve ran all of his powerbuilding programs, both PPL versions, and now running his Upper Lower and he programs dips quite a bit in all of these.

Good work bro, Do you know if ring dips are safer for the shoulders than parallel dips?

I don’t barbell bench either and I’ll start doing dips

bro just keeps cooking with these vids

as a book lover, reading is a radical act, especially in the times we Live in today. and in my experience, the most radical books are the fiction books. they're such a delight and they open your minds to new viewpoints, new stories from places I've never been or have never understood. I don't understand why this challenge demands non fiction books to bre read instead of fiction, especially when a lot of these books are in my opinion very surface level books (those economy ones or one I enjoyed a long time ago but wouldn't return to: atomic habits). your video was recommended to me so I've never seen you before but this was a great watch!

should be titled "Greek God Destroys Calisthenics Workout" awesome stuff my guy

Stop filming in the changing room. It's highly disrespectful.

Bro you are so ripped

Loved this series. The symbol of the mountain is so universal. I can find applications in basically every area of my life. Nature is truly our best teacher.

awesome

Idk man, I catch the occasional stray hate comment from an animal (always a cat). In all seriousness, the transition of the Christian cross from a circular pattern to ellipse was a very interesting interpretation of the symbolism used in the creating of the Chirstian "logo". I'm going to try and be more aware of the symbolism we see in day to day life.

Sounds like I gotta find this shadow guy and have a quick convo

Appreciate the vlogging content! Carrying around a camera all day takes dedication. Very refreshing to hear a personal trainer that is into the stretch mediated hypertrophy research. I can't tell you how many trainers at the gym I go to who preach light weights and a huge focus on "the squeeze". Keep it up

The pile of clothes still keeps me up at night😭. I really enjoyed the portion explaining why the unconscious mind necessarily communicates abstractly because clear thought can only come from the conscious mind. Looking forward to the next 4 parts!

bro popped off with this one

I'm not sure if its the algorithm that's suggesting all the Carl Jung/spiritual/unconscious content to me recently but I keep seeing more videos about the unconscious pop up as well as the "Red book". I've started on reading his book on memories dreams and reflections, it's most curious I admit. I really wonder if its a new trend that's beginning to unfold about the spirit and the unconscious or have I just became more aware of the literature/content? Have you seen any new trends about this? I recently had a dream a strange dream where a large flood scattered across the land, streaming wide and fast towards the right. I peer over to my right and I see refugee's fleeing into what appears to be a mountain range, a mother was carrying a baby and promptly his head set on fire, shortly to be extinguished.
