Knee valgus, when the knees track inward during movement, is something we see often in the gym, particularly with our clients who are women. Doing all we can to prevent it is a safety issue: We're in the gym to get stronger and common sense tells us that we just can't do that safely when our knees are tracking in a less stable position.
Knee valgus is a huge topic and I'm just covering a snippet in my latest video, "Preventing Knee Valgus in the Back Squat." I talk about how to identify if you have the issue, plus a few easy adjustments and additions you can make to your training to address it. For those of you who want to dive deeper into the topic, Bret Contreras (known as the "Glute Guy" for a reason) wrote an article about knee valgus several years back that I highly encourage you read.
