Hi ive recently noticed that during my squats im having some difficulty keeping my heels on the ground. I think ive had this problem for a while put i never noticed because
i usually recorded my squats from the side and the power rack usually obscured my feet so i never noticed, this problem is also there in my regular squats and paused squats not just tempo. I think part of the problem might be initially when I started squating i tried to go as low as possible to ensure i didnt squat high which might have forced me a little forward onto my toes also for the first couple of months of training I squatted in runners because i didnt have any weightlifting shoes so i might have developed some bad habits from that. yes i have the book i read it completely i didnt skip over anything and i have practical programming aswell. I tried the technique cues in the book but nothing really seemed to work so i was worried maybe its not a technique flaw and that my arches were collapsing (i have a bit of pronation in my feet i think) so i figured the best palce to ask was here since i figured you would be able to tell the difference.Sorry if the video isnt great i read the sticky before posting and this seemed ok if not ill try to get another one. Thank you for taking the time to post a response to this the help is much appreciated.

I need a better video that has been properly rotated.

Hi again

I think this one should be fine its properly rotated, as far as video quality goes tho this is the best a htc desire can do
i know this is a paused squat not a tempo but like i said in my earlier post this is an issue that is there all the time not just with tempo
that just happened to be the most recent video i had plus i figured the heavier weight might make issues with my squat more obvious.

set of 4 120kg 2ct paused or @9 ( i guess not really sure felt like it tho )

Don't let your knees go so far forward. Lean over more. Putting the camera on the ground makes it hard to provide good input.
