Is the consensus that a raised heel is preferable? I see some info that says this is a must, but then others that say it's very bad for deadlifts. Like I've said though, I don't want to be changing...
Ah OK I see, so is the rule basically that it's OK to be doing 2 types of squat in the same workout so long as the weights not loaded down my back for both?
Ah ok, sorry I hadn’t quite realised what you meant. Yes I could probably make something to hold my barbell. So are you suggesting then doing squats like the video in that link in your post? I think...
