Reply With Quotetoes can be pointed out slightly in the squat to "unlock" the calves (due to flexability issues) and make up for femur angle as it approaches the acetabular-joint.
the boar is also fin if you are so tight that you can't get into a comfortable bottom position.
Idealy, you should be working on your flexability to eventually get rid of the block and squat on the floor with a solid depth.

Wood under the heal of the foot while squating
I can not do squats with me feet straight unless I put a board under my heals. My question is this, do I need to have my feet pointed straight while squating? The only way I can do a squat without a board is to have my feet spaced a little more then shoulder width apart and have my toes pointed out.

Does that mean that toes are usually to be held pointing straight ahead?
