are you going too heavy?

not necessarily straight forward, but no more than 15 degrees out.

i squat like that very regularly and have instructed individuals with knee pain to squat like that and their pain resolved within a week or two.

i dont care if you dont believe me but its based on very basic physics/biomechanics. the further out your toes point, the more prone your ankle is to collapse and the greater the valgus force on the knee.



it makes perfect sense. i feel no obligation to convince you, enjoy your bum knees dude

e: elliot is a terrible source of info btw

OK cool guys thanks..i was under the impression that your knees should be facing forward
