In the past I've either shirked away from doing squats, or kept to really light weight because I've never been 100% confident with my form. I've read a ton about it, but for some reason it never feels right.
I use a stance that's probably 6" or so wider than shoulder width. I keep my back straight/arched and look up. My concern lies with how far my knees come forward. I recently went back to using really light weight so I could concentrate on my form.
When I did squats this week, I tried to visualize myself sitting back more and this seemed to help with my knee/shin positioning (as far as I could tell). The only thing is that my hip flexors fatigued pretty quick... I'm just wondering if I'm doing something wrong, or if that's my weak link.
Any thoughts?
