Knees out


When squatting through a complete range of motion actively push the knees out as hard as possible. This will help with the stretch reflex at the bottom of the squat and help to develop the abductors. Allowing the knees to collapse in somewhat is not inherently dangerous however it is a sign of the stronger quads looking to take over and lift the weight. We are always looking to build balanced strength and to minimize any chance of injury, so push those knees out hard.

Training:
Squat 5x5
Rest 5-10 minutes
10 power cleans (135lbs, 95lbs)
12 pull-ups
4 rounds for time
