How To STOP Knee & Low Back Pain When Squatting

[Retronicer]

Hi, I wonder what kind of education you have. Do you have any knowledge in the field of biomechanics? Everything you say here is basicly wrong...

@Retronicer

what specifically do you believe is wrong?

[MaaNonu123]

@Retronicer I have studied biomechanics for years and I can agree with everything in this video.., what are your credentials?

that narrow, straight-toe stance doesn't work for everybody, especially taller people like myself (6'2"). i couldn't squat without back pain until i figured out i needed a wider stance

[krazykev00]

Actually, squatting with the toes turned out increases activation of the quadriceps and hip abductors. The quadriceps are primarily knee extensors and placing the emphasis on the quads increases knee stress. Squatting with feet parallel increases the activity of the hip extensors (glutes and hamstrings) and decreases stress to the knees

Terrible advice. Never have your feet parallel, that puts way too much pressure on your knees. This guy is a moron.
