Carl one quick question i'd like your opinion on. Its been a while since i've been weight training ~1 year+, and it has been ~8 years since i've done free weight squats, but you've convinced me as I start to hit the weights again I'll add these in.

Question is long ago ~16 years old, had a weight trainer who insisted on absolutly flat feet while performing squats. At that time I was flexible enough, and the guys that didn't have the flexibility he insisted they develop it first and never allowed things like a small block of wood under the heels to allow full foot pressure, essentially getting up on their toes at the bottom of the motion.

Come to find out i've lost some flexibilty in this area. So my question is, do I just go as deep into the squat as my flexibility allows and let that steadily increase over some time? or raise my heels to allow my butt to reach the proper distance into the "hole"?
