    I remember seeing your first squats and noticing some issues with setting the knees. It looks like you're just a bit uncertain about the when, where and 'how much' but I think you can smooth these out.

    I like to think "hips and knees together" to start the descent. Take that for a spin and see if it helps. On the way up, it's "hip drive."

    As you get comfortable keeping the load over the middle of your foot, these things will become more natural.

    I know you would do that. It was more about what us mere mortals would do.

    I suppose if you've never seen it before then the likelihood of me encountering it in the wild is pretty low.

    I now predict you'll see it at least once within your first eight or so clients, Martin. Because Murphy is a mean SOB.
