Same with quats and dead lifts. It's a very good techinique to employ. If you find you (anyone) has issues remembering this, place your toes onto 3 lbs dumbbells and it will force you to push into your heels. If you are advanced and your balance is good, you can place you heels on the dumbbells which again forces balance and required you to push into the heels. Same thing but it changes the gravitity and the second option is considered advanced and not for the clumsy person as you can fall or rock forward to easily.
Although both aren't an option for tall box climbs.

I used to go to a Personal Trainer and she used to have me do deadlifts with 25 pounds in each hand. She also used the 3 pound weights under my heels and then under my toes for extra balance and stretch. I never had the "thut" indent until I did those. I remember the first time I saw it in the mirror...I was like "Holy Crap...where have you been hiding?"!!!
