    I've done front squats in the past but not recorded them. I'll try that next time at the gym.

    Funny how the plates under your heels makes such a marked difference. It's like night and day. You're still wanting to fall forward but it's diminished by 75%. In the plate video you look pretty good till you get to the bottom and then you sorta fall forward. Probably a result of dropping so fast, your torso's momentum is carrying you forward.

    Have you ever thought about anterior pelvic tilt btw?

    Could be part of your problem.

    Funny you should mention that as I was wondering if I had that today after I saw that pic posted elsewhere.

    I will look into it more. Thanks.

    The forward lean is a combination of hip and calf ROM.

    try these:

    Kelly Starrett ( the guy in the vids) is extremely knowledgeable about ROM, and how to improve form when doing specific movements. Ive used many of those videos as a reference for myself when recovering from pain and injuries.
