 he's got betty davis eyes Member 1684, 6001 posts SQ 250, BP 186, DL 291727.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | I found when squatting last night that when I go deep the weight starts transferring to my toes, rather than through my heels. I have been squatting with a fairly narrow stance, and it has generally been fine, but I was always quite rounded at the bottom, infact I was rounded right from lift off. I have sorted the walkout and am a lot more upright through the lift, so this might be why it feels different on my feet. Any ideas? My heels are not actually lifting, but the weight is not going through them either if that makes sense | ||

I have that when I wear oly shoes, flat shoes and the problem does away. I am wearing oly shoes. but I have moved to them from hiking boots which had a thicker heel. It doesn't happen when I squat in a suit either, maybe because I am transferring the weight back more? | ||

Kinda glad that for once its not just meI dont really do anything beforehand, just go in and squat. I probably should do some by the sounds of it. Exercise suggestions would be appreciated | ||

There's a reason why pretty much all pro athletes in any sport spend a long time getting themselves warmed up and ready to do their thang. Yet I see a lot of lifters, some at a fair level seemingly not taking this on board. It's the thing I would add if I had more time in the gym. | ||
