My squat uses a different strategy, instead of it pronating, it externally rotates, (tibial torsion? high lateral post mobility) If i correct this although i can functionally hold the position, despite persistence, my knee still shifts valgus. Any advanced strategies?

Nobody takes the time to break things down, explain concepts and give progressions like you do! Thank you!

Great point about difference between strength and stability. I love this content, man. 👊

I did these exercises yesterday and today when I was walking I already felt my glute firing. I’m excited to fix this issue and get my squats as powerful as possible! Thank you 🙏🏻

No words can describe your value and contrubiton to the sport world.. Thank you dr :) i hope one day i can meet with you💪🏼

Love your videos!!! You break everything down perfectly. I am going to include the banded pause body squats in my warm up routine.

Wow. I just tried a few reps of squats with your recommendations and i can't believe the difference I felt, I have been rolling onto the outside of my feet to try to overcome valgus and thought it didn't feel right..thank you so much!

What a gem of a channel.

I've been trying to squat for half a year now, because I was too scared to try alone and hurt myself when I started the gym. Now I think i can squat ok and can squat deep but I start to feel a lot in my knees after my set. Always thought It was mobility so I did mobility exercises everytime I would do leg day. So now it seems it is stability causing the problem. I realised my knees caves in when going up. I will try thoses exercises from now on. I really want to have a good form, I do think about it all the time so I can lift safetly. But it is much harder than it seems and takes so much time, nobody talks about it. Thank you so much for giving us so much information ! Maybe then I can start to lift heavier by the end of this year :) I am 67 kg (girl), squat 50-55 kg, my goal this year is reaching 60-70 kg

Such a great video Dr. Horschig. Thank you. Blessings.

I definitely needed to see this video. My squat form is terrible but this is the exact thing I feel I've been struggling with.

Great explanations as always doc. Thank you for your great content!!

just discovered you now. The most informative channel. Awesome job!

Í follow some very good fitness channels and I have never heard an explanation about strength vs stability. Very interesting! Thank you, and keep up the good videos :)

Thanks Aaron this video was amazing.

That’s priceless!! Thank you! Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹

Awesome lesson, as always, Doc!

Wow thank you SO much. I've experienced knee cave like this so I'm goimg to try these out. I appreciated what you said about not always driving knees out too much if you then roll onto outer feet. This happened to me being a bit to over enthusiastic with that in a deep sweat and I strained my knee from it. Foot stability!!! Really really love and appreciate your videos super helpful

Exactly what I'm looking for! 1 quick question. What is a good rep/set/hold time for the balance and reach exercise? Thanks for all your great content!

Man, this guy is amazing

Fantastic content as always. I know this is an older video, but I'm combing through your stuff and I can't help but pop into the comments and thank you for the clear and concise info

Best knee Valgus video ever!

Thanks this week was first time I've noticed my knees shifting so much... Time to correct it with your help

Great advice for preventing injury

I love this guy Becoming more stable resulting in higher squat PR

Dr. A, not only are you a ray of hope and happiness (I love your presentation style and character), you are also straight-up, succinct, and science-based. Thank you for lighting up our world with your positivity and enlightening us with your knowledge. I have a question: I had an ACL tear some years ago (I am now 63 years young and very active). My genu valgum came about steadily and I slightly injured my knee again but, it healed. I just have difficulty jogging or running again. Some have suggested surgery and others non-evasive physio-therapeutics. Based on these limited descriptions what would be your feedback on whether to try evasive or non-evasive solutions to my situation? I know it's tough to know for sure unless you actually see the client but, what does your experience tell you?

Thanks for such a great video!!!

This is awesome I have this problem and have been trying to fix it 🤯.

The amount of effort you guys put in is tremendous

Thanks for all the great tips, my knees are caving after the dip, when I am “pushing” up during my Jerk (and a slightly during my snatch but never when I squat). Do you think this is the same issue as depicted in the video ?

Do you have anything on squats for 12-14 yr olds? Teaching a Junior High athletic development class and love the content/knowledge you provide. Would love to learn more about progressions and best practices for developing squat technique in young athletes.

Very good explanations! Maybe a random question, can the foot placement in the beginning of the video also be applied in cycling?

Awesome 👍🏼

Great info as always. Being flat footed like me feels like twice the burden. Will def try these exercises. #SquatUclub

Thanks. Great advice🤔🥝🇳🇿

i paid $160 to a physyio to get all the info you just described in this video for free.

For the standing foot, on the single leg exercises, can I use my natural foot position (toes rotated outwards somewhat) or must the toes point straight forward like in the video? I feel I struggle to squat down if my toes point dead straight. Cheers

Plz make a video on how to do Olympic lifting (basics covered)

this is some grueling work, but i know it will pay off in the future! my glutes are burning!!

SU! Please make a video on box squats and Westside Barbell

Συγχαρητήρια!

Okay, I'm 62. Your videos have greatly helped my squat and my deadlift but as much as I work on it I just have the hardest time balancing on one leg so doing any single leg movements always requires me to use something to at least have within reach to stabilize myself. Is there a program you can recommend for those of us with age related instability?

Hello squat university. I am also reading your recent book nowdays. And i have a question: So keeping the knee/patella midline in line with the second toe while squating single leg is not possible without caving the knee inwards? and is even not right doing so in a double leg squat when you have a normal hip anatomy? And the reasons are: natural outwards rotation of the hip and the natural movements of the tibia while knee bending aktions(squating, stairs...etc)?? Can you please clarify. I really need your help here. Thank you!

Good evening Squat University! Ive always had knee valgus and never understood why shaped like bell bottom jeans. In the last couple of months though I've been having knee pain and I also happen on the same side have a Taylor's bunion which I believe is affecting my shoe shape, and possibly in Combo with knee valgus. My question is if you have any suggestions for toe correction so I can also get the knees working again.

hi.can you do a video for pistol squat from A to Z with some dumbbell?

hey Aaron are there any negative force on the knees if I push my knees to the side of the feet and point the feet more forward, my anatomy is build for that squat similar to your squat with feet narrow and knees out, if I place my knee over toes my feet collapse from the outside, that's why I like to push them outside it's more natural movement

Does this works for when the knee caves in when I stand or walk ?? Or only when squatting

Hey, chould you try to identify(write/make a video of a full body mobility screen) what minimal mobility would be necessary for different strength athletes? For example, I'm a powerlifter with pretty abyssmal shoulder rotation and can't quite fully extend my elbows aswell as a stiff T-spine. However, I'm seeing similar lack of mobility in many other powerlifters around my level som I don't know if it's something I need to adress or if it even helps me lift more. I've suffered a bit of nerve pain which my physical therapist saysis probably caused by my lack of rotation, however, given that many many other strength athletes have the same stiffness without pain makes me a bit worried that trying to fix it would be detrimental to my powerlifting

This gye is the GOAT

What would you suggest for someone with a high arch and struggles with arch collapsing? My feet naturally do this even when I’m just standing, and being intentional with keeping this in check can cause me hip discomfort and pain. Any tips?

Hi What sort of sets and reps should you be performing this or should it be a warm up before you squat i have a problem that both knees cave in on my clean and squat

11:20 gotta add that to my routine. Practice at base

do you have tips for internally rotating knees when using for example the leg extension?

What's your best recommendation for squat shoes without a heel?

I have a bit of lateral pelvic tilt which causes one of my legs to be a bit longer than the other. In a squat position, you can see one of my hips sits lower than the other. This also causes stability issues. Any advice or tips on how to remedy this? Thanks!

reemphasizing the points, you made in the how to squat video with the multiple steps. I feel like people should watch that and try to get the mechanics down there before watching this video itself.

Does this also work for walking and running or you have you some different exercises for that? I have recently started running again and after a few sessions i noticed alot of pain in both my inner knee's. Then someone saw me walking and noticed that appartenly my knee's and ankle's cave in somewhat. For squats i don't really have this problem since i always make sure my knee's are pointed out.

my left knee caves in whenever my left foot is on the 9pm position when cycling. gotta try these exercises.

Hey coach I’m noticing a burning and aching in my lower quad and my knee during running in a straight line but no pain during leg day except an extreme quad weakness during the split lunges any idea on what it could be I watch a lot of your videos and I’m thinking it could be the patellar and quad tendon but I’m not certain I also go to physical therapy and have dry needling done but even they can’t pinpoint the cause #squatUclub

Bryce, check out this blog:: squatuniversity.com/2017/05/14/what-kind-of-knee-pain-do-you-have/ Dry needling can be good at times, but it should never be the go-to treatment for our first line of rehab. Doing so usually only gives temporary relief to a bigger problem.

my right toe points over to the right - how do you maintain the position if you have a problem like this , other than surgery

is it possible the knee cave is so that people can create hip external rotation and stability to create more force?

If you don't typically have knee cave but experience it when you max out does that mean its too heavy weight?

Hey man ive been doing the balance reach exercise but its been hurting my knee? My knee is definitely in line with my foot..

Can these exercises rehab patella femoral syndrome (runner’s knee)? I have been trying a lot of things and hasn’t been helping.

Is this causes lower back pain ? Because I have noticed while squating my right leg won't support properly while coming up, and after workout if I bend then I suffer from lower back injury for like 3-4 days.

My physical therapist never explained it this well. Now I see.

i tried these exercises and i was having trouble transferring the force to my glutes, felt it a lot more in my hamstrings?

Take them a little slower and do pauses in some positions with the hinge. That can sometimes help.

If this problem appear when squatting above 85% RM is that mean that it's due to weaker muscle or it's still stability issue?

@ytano5782

You can compensate a lack of stability with movement strength. With less weight you have more ressources to compensate.

As of 3 weeks ago, every time I squat down, one of the tendons behind my knee (I think its a tendon) keeps popping out, right at a 90-degree angle. Would anyone know what this could be and how I can fix it?
