Meissnerd, what's your form like? Are you keeping your weight on your heels? I've never squatted any way other than ass-to-ankles, but when you start it can be difficult to keep your weight back.
What I was taught to do was focus on lifting my toes up off the ground a little so I had to keep my weight on my heels.
Before this locks, I'd just like to say that I'd love to lift some fucking bells.
''Dumbbells' as a word originated in Tudor England – athletes used hand-held church bells to develop the upper body and arms. These bells ranged in weight from a few ounces to many pounds. The bells were flourished in various ways. This would have made a great deal of noise, so the athletes would take out the clappers so they could practice quietly; hence the name "dumb", as in "no sound", and "bell" – dumbbell. When strongmen started to make their own equipment, they kept the name, even though the shape changed. The etymology of the word 'kettlebell' is similar."

Haha, I often forget to do that. Could explain why I lean a bit forward.

Thanks to Jerry's OP today.
This is a thing I actually stumbled upon the other day, completely independently of that newspost
