GymSoles Help You Improve Your Squats and Deadlifts by Monitoring and Correcting Your Form

Press/Media: Article/Feature

Description

When it comes to weightlifting, some exercises are significantly more novice-friendly than others. A simple barbell curl, for example, is pretty hard to get wrong. But a lot of exercises require proper form to maximize gains and to avoid injury — sometimes very serious injury. Squats and deadlifts are often the most intimidating exercise to new weightlifters, and have a lot of potential for injury if you aren’t lifting properly. That’s why a team of researchers from the University of Auckland’s Augmented Human Lab have developed GymSoles to correct weightlifters’ form.
