I can't squat without standing on my toes when I go down. Is that ok or should I give up squatting?
>>41116312
that is not ok, learn how to squat
Do front squats instead

I literally can't, my ass can't go down more than slightly above knee level when my whole feet is on the ground, I have to stand on my toes or else I drop balance.

stretch ur ankles and shit, become more flexible. Hip stretching might also help

No it's not ok. Fix your form.
Don't squat unless you've been evaluated by an expert. The shitheads from the powerlifting community know nothing about human anatomy. They reason down to their sport.
Your mobility must be terrible. Look up stretches and mobility exercises on YouTube.

Try box squat, anon. This will get you in the habit of planting your feet with a clean motion.
>>41116312
this is usually because your knees are going forwards too much
dont let your knees past your toes
bend your goddamn knees and hips

That looks nice, Thx will do that in the gym tomorrow. I'm kind of a lard so it's pretty hard for me to do this shit.

>op can't squat

OP just put plates under your heels or buy weightlifting shoes
