Box squats. They improved my form a whole lot. It will also really improve your strength out of the hole also.
wt's box squats?
squating your butt down to a bench...effectiveness depends on height (obviously)Originally Posted by smokethedays
I had/have the same problem I recently started putting a weight (or board under my heels for a set or 2 with a little lighter weight but the re-positiong helped me want to push through my heels a little more and when I have gone back to normal squats I fell more of a heel push, just a thought bro hope this helps
i squat with my shoes off that helped me
Increasing your hammy flexibility may help keep your heels pinned to the floor.
thanks guys i really like the help I got. I will try them all

For the squat you have to learn to sit back. Remember to move hips down before ever bending your knees.
thanks man i hit it tomarrow im going to go light and just work on formOriginally Posted by powerliftmike
If you buy a pair of lifting shoes this keeps your feet flat and makes you drive through the heels.
Trainers are made to recoil thus pushing you forward towards your toes.
You may also be leaning forward taking the weight off your heels and onto your toes. Lifting shoes sure make a difference though.
Your initial break should be at the hips and not the knees. Also try placing the bar a little lower on the back, both of these should help you stay on your heals.
I come up when I've got 135 on the bar to warm up but anything over 200 flattens me out just fine![]()
I couldnt agree with this more. a 1" board will help your form as good as lifting shoes IMO. I learned this tactic five years ago when i first starting my heavy squat lifting and have been using it ever since... just for warmups as previously stated. try it and see what you come up with before investing in expensive lifting gear. I do all my lifts raw and wouldnt have it any other way.Originally Posted by BlueAndromeda73
