It's possible to maintain proper knee position with toes turned out but you have to work way harder to externally rotate. If you have the ability to externally rotate hard enough it really doesn't matter how far out your toes point because your glutes and lateral rotators can pull your femur out to maintain good knee and ankle positioning. It's not a matter of importance, it's a binary thing. If you can't support good external rotation of the femur, you need to protect your knee by pointing your toes forward, period. Unless you don't want your knees in 20 years, in which case do whatever you want

that feel when guy at gym
buys rogue ohio deadlift bar
im like what it take to use it
hes like go buy 1
my face

Make sense. I always felt better that way. It's much harder to keep the right knee tracking when squatting than sumo deadlifting and even then I try not to open too much...even with my ''decent'' mobility.



Buy yourself an Ohio PB and you won't regret it.

Cuckboi alert..

Better than a fuk boi

Fukboiiiii

My knee is well outside my ankles, and it feels much stronger pointing out slightly. My feet twist outwards anyways when I'm screwing them into the ground

alrdy is 1 in the corner
these twins bot and cant use
then this dl cant use
fucking jerks stuck on shit bar
or if its open the texas power bar
aka bloody shin betty

i hate sumo deadlifts, incomplete range of motion for the sake of pulling a little bit more weight. kind of like quarter squats, except sumo also forces you to sacrifice a bit of joint stability in order to perform the movement



id be interested in a front shot of your squat, i think you probably experience more valgus than you realize. screwing your feet into the ground is a cue but the outcome shouldnt actually be external rotation of the feet. you apply torque through your legs but the goal is for your feet to stay in place and that external rotation torque is expressed through abduction of the knee

I'll be back to squatting next week hopefully, I'll post my top set. I think my feet also push outwards just because I don't have the mobility to keep them straight ahead

3 front views of my squat here. http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=74850681&f=60
