If you can't accomplish that then the weight is probably too heavy. And like you said, flexibility could well play a role.
Yeah I point my toes out slightly and try to keep the weight on my heels and drive with my hips. I really just think its a flexibility issue due to my surgery. They did tighten up my ankle as part of the surgery so I think that is where the problem lies.
