If you're going ass-to-grass, your back will round at the bottom.

Hi.

How round is acceptable? After parallel it rounds, but i can nearly touch the ground. Does the lighter weight compensates the back roundness?

Just wanted to make sure in an olympic squat you aren't pushing the hips and trying to sit back? Is it more of a straight down squat while pushing the knees out?

The best squat shoes IMO are old school Converse Chuck Taylor's.

 

[johnsmith402]

valewalker, you are incorrect. the best shoes have a wooden heel of around 3/4 of an inch.

In this situation you need to push your knee outside....and make sure it will be in parallel steps....
