When I first began squatting, I didn't care about the form and just did what felt most comfortable to me. I don't know if I was doing it right or not, but my quads felt really good. For some reason I can't get that feeling in my quads anymore. I started to look at form videos to try and make sure I am doing it right. I just can't do the dip right. I always feel the weight in the front of my feet rather than the heels. If I space my legs apart more, the knees bow out as I go down, causing pain. If they're close, it doesn't really feel like it's hitting the right muscles. If I try to make the legs shoulder width apart, I just feel the weight on the front of my feet. I forcefully try to make my hips bow outward before I do the dip, but as I go down, my hamstrings become very tight and won't let me go down any further. I notice that if I try to keep my head pointed straight instead of down, I tend to lose balance and take a few steps back as I go down in the squat.
