Hello! Thanks so much for the comment and for reading. Tireless video was how I worked on my own squats. It is so telling when you watch yourself. I had no idea that I was sacrificing that crucial point of depth until I watched myself. Glad you enjoyed the detailed breakdown.
Hello! Thank you for your comment. Maybe I should clarify this point. Knees directly over the toes is what we want .. it's when they move PAST or BEYOND this point of being directly over the toes where knee strain arises. My use of "Over" was intended to mean moving past toes. So, my bad on the terminology. Thank you for pointing it out and for reading! :)
Why oh why do we keep telling people that knees over toes is bad 😩😒🤦🏾♀️?!?!? This needs to stop! 🛑 Especially coming from educated professionals in the health space. I’m am so tired of people coming to me for training (both group as well as 1-1) and telling me that their doctor has told them not to squat with knees over toes. Argh. It’s so frustrating.
Exceptional breakdown of squat mechanics here. The framing of that bottom range as an "untrained" zone is spot on becuase most people bail out before hitting true depth where they're actually weakest. What's intersting is that this weakness paradox creates a feedback loop: we avoid teh range where we need the most work, which keeps us weak there indefinitely. The video self-assessment tip is gold for anyone training solo.
