Is it ok to have your heels on 2.5lb plates when squatting? Alright thanks guys. I might just get a few sessions with a personal trainer so he can make sure my form and everything is fine. I'll try some stretching too. If i still have issues then i'll invest in some shoes for squats found some decent looking ones online for $80-$90.
