A lot of times I’ve heard coaches say that when squating, knees should never be turned inward (valgus) and should never get passed the vertical toe line. The theory goes that both these “faults” create knee cartilage damage in the long run.
But when performing unilateral squats, its almost impossible for me to keep my knee from turning inwards. When doing king deadlifts I find it very difficult not to go past the vertical toe line.
Is my technique wrong or is there another explanation for this problem since Ian is recommending these exercises? I’m doing them as part of the BOM program.
