    If you are squatting with your shoes on take them off and make a big effort to put all your weight in your heels. If it is a ankle mobility issue you can put some small plates underneath your heels. The squat rack isn't a machine LOL

    It probably is the ankle thing - I've noticed that in heels I have no problem squatting down. Good advice, thank you.

    what do any of the last posts have to do withOP's questions?

    Yup, we established you are off topic.

    You aren't of a pay grade to tell me when or how to squat. Thanks.
