Knee cave is good for glutes? 😱 This video is bound to upset some people. A new study directly examined knee cave a.k.a. knee valgus vs pushing knees out in a squat on muscle activations# well as forces acting on the knee The researchers found MORE glute activation when the participants cued knee cave vs knees out where they saw more adductor activation. This may seem strange since a lot of exercises for the glutes utilize knees out. But these are typically exercising involving abduction, not squats Not only that, but they found the forces on the knee during knee cave were not even close to the level required to cause knee injury I am NOT saying you should purposefully valgus, but if you have strong glutes & you find that your knees naturally track in during heavy squats, you are probably better off training all your sets that way so that those tissues appropriately adapt, rather than squatting how you ‘think’ you ‘should’ on lighter sets only to have them cave in on heavy sets A perfect real life example of this is my friend Lya Bavoil, current world record holder of a 225kg squat in the 69kg class (496 lb squat at around 152 lbs body weight for my Americans who hate math) drug free. Her knees have always caved during squat. This is likely BECAUSE she has such strong glutes (she also deadlifts well over 500 lbs) so her body naturally goes into the position where she is strongest. She’s also never hurt her knees 🤷🏼‍♂️ If you don’t knee valgus naturally during squats don’t make yourself do it but if you find you still have some knee cave even though your glutes are strong, I wouldn’t worry too much about it unless you consistently find it painful It’s time to let go of these dogmatic ideas around ‘perfect’ form. Perfect form is the form for the INDIVIDUAL that allows them to perform best without pain DATA>your feelings

PRIORITIZE SINGLE LEG STRENGTH❗️ Squat & Deadlift do NOT always have to be your main lower body lifts. There are plenty of ways to get strong. Here are some MAJOR benefits of prioritizing single leg lifts: 1️⃣ Exposes strength & balance inefficiencies & inequalities. Strong on 2 legs doesn’t mean strong on 1 leg.. Strong on each leg does mean strong on 2 legs. I’ve seen enough strong squats & deadlifts get buried with single leg exercises. Typically isn’t true the other way around. 2️⃣ Less back pain. Regardless of their technique, some athletes experience back pain from squatting & deadlifting. YOU DO NOT NEED TO SQUAT OR DEADLIFT TO GET STRONG… Single leg exercises can alleviate that pain. Less load, similar intensities, similar benefits. 3️⃣ “Sports are played on 1 leg.” I’ve heard this plenty of times and there is definitely a ton of truth to it. Movements are very single leg dependent. Sprinting, stopping, changing direction, jumping, landing. Single leg training can be the key to higher performance and less risk for injury. 4️⃣ Less learning curve. Beginners can immediately reap the rewards of single leg training because of how easy it is to implement. Something as simple as sitting on a bench and standing up using 1 leg is challenging for someone who has never done it. No bar on the back, no picking up weight, no teaching hip hinge.. Simple single leg training will buy athletes time to train while simultaneously improving squat and deadlift technique.

Most of us don’t have a slow metabolism, and are far from overtraining. The real issue is people underestimate their calorie intake, confuse discomfort with "failure," and just don't do the work. New episode with Dr. Layne Norton (Layne Norton, PhD), a Ph.D. scientist, professional bodybuilder, and champion powerlifter who deadlifts over 700 pounds. We discuss: • When to push to failure • Whether seed oils promote chronic disease (and how) • Why good habits beat perfectionism • Layne’s approach to eating, training, and supplementation. Plus, we tackle hot topics like the carnivore diet, artificial sweeteners, intermittent fasting, and more. This episode is available on X, YouTube, Spotify, and everywhere else. Links in comment.
