should your knees stay behind your toes?

[jasoncscs]

Head over to my barbell Squat video for a great argument with a powerlifter about knee placement. Your knees should follow the line of your toe, but not past them. Your feet should be flat at all times, with your weight a bit on the heels. The squat should be equal parts ankle bend, knee bend, and hip bend. Your back is always straight.

Charles Poliquin refers to this kind of stuff as "entertainment training."

That's because Charles is a giant slab of meat. Ya know, all I ever see on these comment boards are trash talk, never any videos!

Step 1: Learn how to Squat. Step 2: Add resistance. If you can't squat right you will never get stronger or bigger because your body will not be able to handle the added weight.

It's true. Just a generic hater vibe, not even a usefull or logical argument which might be of benefit to some who see the vid.
