Knees over toes

Knees over toes

Most trainers tell people, “don’t let your knees go over your toes." The reason for this advice is that when your knee goes over your toe, there’s more pressure on your knee.

However, an Olympic trainer Charles Poliquin said the athlete whose knee can go farthest and strongest over the toes has the least chance of knee injury. If you’re not training with your knees over your toes through a full range of motion, you’re singling to your body that you don’t want that area to be robust with circulation and strength.
