My question is what to do when I start stage 2 for the squat/press?
Can you do a partial squat on your heels?

As for stage 2 with the front squat - you won't be able to do a front squat on your tippie toes while bearing weight (unless you want to fall forward), so this might be a good phase for you. Front squats will pretty much force you to bear weight on your heels.

BTW are you sure your back is in proper form?
