Dont know if every1 knows this... I just learned it myself. Got an email from a friend (copy and paste):
"When performing squats, it's important to keep your body weight
on your heels and not on your toes. If your heels rise off the
floor as you bend, too much pressure can be placed on your knees
- especially if you are using heavy weights.
If staying flat-footed during the squat is difficult, it's best
to perfect your form over time. Squat down only as far as you can
go without lifting your heels; then, as bending beyond this point
becomes easier, gradually bend down more. Keep in mind
that your ultimate goal is not a very deep squat, but rather one
that brings your thighs to a position that's parallel with the
floor; a 90-degree angle."
Hope this helps!
