How do you keep your CoG above your heel on the way down? If you get to parallel and your knee is above your heel, then your torso MUST be your thigh's length behind your heel.
Maybe the problem is that I'm quite tall, and my legs are quite long? That means my CoG goes further back as I sink into the squat.
Lisa - I had a look through the threads, but the couldn't find anything that sounds like what I'm doing. Also, I don't think my quads are that tight - if I sit between my heels, I can lie back right the way without my knees coming up, although my back feels tight when my shoulders are down. (Maybe there is a better test for that.)
