7/8" thick with a diamond pattern. Covers the entire workout area. That was to address the possible slipping when working out barefoot--no chance of that.Oscar_Actuary wrote:emil3m wrote:I have a good quality rubber mat at home...
Re: Shoes for barbell training
my advice are indoor soccer shoes. they are not very expensive, fit good to the foot, the soles are very thin and you don't slip.

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of having close contact with the floor, and less squoosh ?emil3m wrote:7/8" thick with a diamond pattern. Covers the entire workout area.

Re: Shoes for barbell training
If the mat is firm, like the floor matting that you see in many gyms, I think it'd be OK. I've never felt squooshy with that stuff.

I've had 3-4 barefoot workouts already and absolutely love it. Especially the deadlift!
