The Lifting Platform

Heavy lifting asks one thing of a shoe: get out of the way. Every millimetre of compressible foam under your heel is force that never reaches the floor, which is why a lifting platform is built around a firm, flat base.

What a lifting platform is built for

• Zero power bleed during hip drive
• Anatomical splay prevents valgus collapse

A high-density heel keeps the drive rigid from the first pull to lockout, while a wide anatomical toe-box lets the forefoot spread and grip the floor. Together they keep the knees tracking over the toes when the load gets heavy.

Reach for a lifting platform on squat, clean and snatch days. On conditioning days, swap to something with more flex — see The Conditioning Floor.
