Can anybody tell me how far I should be going down on squats? Everything I hear tells me thighs parallel to the floor. Some people say your shins should be vertical and your knees shouldn't pass your toes...but when I get down there my balance is too thrown off if I try to balance that far back, and I feel like I'm straining my back to stay upright.
Should I just balance vertically like I feel is natural and let my knees go past my toes (only 1" or so) and my shins angle very slightly, or is it essential to your joints to do it "right"?
