pizzaboy or anyone, i have questions regarding proper form of squats. It seems that when i do squats of about shoulder's width, there is stress being put on the knees area. Another thing i would like to ask is how to keep the knees behind the toes? I cant do so, probably my balancing is way off. Btw, i'm squatting with body weight only. 57kg. Could it be because of my legs are weak that is why i am experiencing these problems.? Any advice?

Thanks for the advice. After trying with the toe angled outwards, much lesser stress being put on my knees.
Well i'm just trying do some squats without the bar coz my form itself is already bad. Terima kasih pizzaboy.

QUOTE(shanecross @ Sep 14 2008, 09:34 PM) Unfortunately, you're not going to learn the proper way of squatting, without the bar. The bar also has weight, and will teach your body how to learn forward and backwards. Despite the front and back squat, being about the same in movements, the mechanics and bodyparts involved are rather different. In fact, you'll find that many back squatters, cannot front squat half as well as they'd think they could the first time. So my suggestion, is at least squat with an empty stick, above your head. Do an overhead squat with an empty stick. Please.
