 So in squatting one of the joints that you really need to look at is the knee and we got to ask ourselves What is the knee doing? So I'm looking ideally to have the hip the knee and the foot all in a straight line in line like this if the knee Comes in we call that a valgus collapse, and if the knee comes out we call that a varus Collapse I would still call it a collapse you're collapsing this way into your hip like this So I'm pressurizing the back of my hip and if I collapse my knee and where I'm collapsing into my foot to stretch it out And use it to catch me and stretch out my knee and use it to catch me When I get someone who comes in who already has a lot of lifting experience They they tend to predominate this knees out pattern this varus pattern And so if I'm trying to optimize biomechanics, right? I need to think about the knee What is the knee good at doing? Well, there are three bones in the knee two major contact bones the tibia the shin bone and the femur on top and They're really good at supporting each other when one is on top of the other But when this stuff starts to happen, that's when the Ligaments the soft tissues in the knee need to start picking up the slack So when I see varus, I see a limitation in power, right? I can't put as much force through that knee if it's not stacked on top of itself So when you're squatting down if you're seeing your feet roll out your arches come up off the ground You you might look like you're about to sprain your ankle except you're going really slow. So you're usually okay. I Want to fix that okay, and the biggest thing that I say there is Just bring the insides of your feet down on the ground If you look at any sort of squatting movement the big key factor One cue that you can take and you can fix a lot of things with is you just say I want that foot Evenly on the ground. I want your big toe down. I want your pinky toe down I want your heel down on everything evenly I don't want you to feel biased towards one side of the other if you feel biased towards the outside of one foot In the inside of the other foot. Hey, that means I'm shifting Okay, if I feel biased towards both outsides that means I have a varus Insides that means I have a valgus. Okay, so all of this stuff comes into play When you're squatting again to recap feel the whole foot Push through the whole foot if you can't do it slow it down If you still can't do it lighten the load if you still can't do it Hold away in front of you because it helps you figure it out until then Let me know if it works
