Proper “Squatting” Technique

When performing a bending activity such as a squat or deadlift, remember to allow your knees to go out at least as far as your toes. This maintains proper biomechanics of your legs which in turn helps your hips and back. Many people teaching bending take a different approach. However, from a biomechanical model there is only one correct way to align your leg bones so that the center of gravity of your different leg segments align to create perfect efficiency. This starts with getting your knees to your toes! By doing it any other way comprise other joints by not putting the appropriate stress through the knees.
