>>37335215
there's literally nothing wrong with having your knees going over your toes
>>37335235
Wait really

i know but i feel a slight pain in my knee as if im doing it wrong and sometimes my lower back
Push your hips forward, not back. Pretend there's a girl in front of you that you're trying to fuck.
And your knees should be going directly over your toes.
Download a copy of starting strength, it will help you get your form perfect on squats.
He devotes like 15 pages to squat form. No way you can still squat stupid after reading it.

i read that i think or it was the 5x5 french guy but i think whats messing me up is my squatting shoes because i think i can normly squat when im not wearing any shoes sucks tho cuz there made for weight lifting
>>37335237
you type like a fuckin 13 year old.
I bet you are too.
Watch any fucking Olympic lifting videos. Knees over toes is fine.

5x5 website doesn't spend so much time on teaching form.
Just download and read the SS pdf... It will really cover it all.
if this isn't a troll, and if you're doing low bar squats, then sit back as far as you can, don't worry about keeping your torso upright, it will come forward. if you can't seem to stop overbalancing forward and having your knees go beyond your feet, then you probably have tight hamstrings and hips and you should make it a high priority to look up how to stretch those areas.
okay so I can do a high bar squat perfectly fine but its only if im not wearing shoes so do I wear shoes when squatting? or wear my running shoes
should i do high bar or low bar /fit?

it depends on your goals, and even then you're not limited to one or the other

don't wear running shoes because they are spongy, and if you wear spongy shoes when squatting then some of the force your body exerts on the bar will be spent in first compressing the sponginess. plus, if you can do squats without shoes only, then do it, but try a flat sole shoe like converse all stars or something if you are desperate to wear shoes in the gym

look up alan thrall videos on form

Tense your hamstrings and squeeze your glutes. Keep you lower back muscles tight to maintain stability.
Also, research anterior and posterior pelvic tilt
