Cause you're lacking range of motion. I can do it perfectly well now that I've restored my range. You need to work on dorsiflexion range and likely just general hip maintenance. Clean up your abductors, that's the best advice I can give anyone just starting to work on better squat technique. Short adductors will cause you hip pain as well as keep you from fully externally rotating those legs in the bottom of your squat. Work on that Jean claude vandamme hip mobility
You can barefoot, put your feet completely beside each other with less than 12 inches separating and squat down flat footed? I fall backwards. I must say props.
Even doing pistol squats: I can just barely get to below parallel and to go atg I just come up on my toe in order to do get the rest of the way.

@cloudkicker, this actually feels SO much better. After getting used to it it's a lot easier to hit depth, my lower back stays perfectly straight (i used to get a bit of rounding) And I feel much stronger, keeping the chest up is a lot easier instead of getting folded over at heavier weights. Idk why the video makes my feet look like they're pointed so far out when I look down it looks like they're pointing straight ahead...
also I hope this triggers all you tight hating fgts.

Like me, as soon as you start dropping, once you push that right knee out, your foot slightly turns with it.
