    Default Squat form - knee cave

    So these felt ok under the bar but looking back there is obvious knee caving. Is it just a case of jamming the knees out harder or are there other things to fix? 3rd set of 5 110kg

    Thanks

    Stance looks wide.

    Yeah, knees out more than that. Maybe narrowing stance just a tiny bit will help.

    Everything else looks fine.

    Stance might be wide, but SHOVE YOUR KNEES OUT. Part of the knee cave is to correct your vertical back angle, so you can bend over more on the way down while shoving your knees out hard, and you'll be able to keep them set better on the way up.

    Thanks for all of the response. I will set to work on getting knees out and maybe bringing stance in.
