I've been doing squats for 2 weeks now and my knees and lower back are starting have a mild discomfort. The reason is because when i squat my torso tend to lean too far forward, and my knee is going in front almost surpassing my toes.

The problem is if i squat with my torso more upright and keeping my knees from moving forward, i tend to fall backward, no matter how hard i try to stay stable. Is there a reason for this happening?? Any ways for me to improve my form so tat i can squat injury free??

pls help.. thx

Only 2 weeks you have been squatting and you want to master it? Well, get someone to coach you, start with lighter weight and master the form first before jumping into heavy weight.

so this is a normal thing for beginner squaters? i thought i have flexibilty issue or weak in certain muscles that prevents me from performing a good squat. K then... thx
