But one of the biggest revelations you will make is that squats are about the hips not the quads or hams or any one leg muscle. Try to push the shoulders into the bar to initiate the lift. This is something that box squatting really allows good practice of.
Eric I assume you mean drive the shoulders into the bar to initiate the lift when in the hole.I think I need to concentrate on this too as somtimes it feels and looks like my hips rise a little faster than my shoulders and it throws the weight forward on to the toes.This usuall happens when fatigue kicks in for me.
