bent over rows...why jerk?

[spatts]

In a close stance the farthest forward my knees come is still over my toes. I understand that's not normal though.

I usually do my front/zercher squats with a narrow stance, and there is no way in hell I could keep my shins vertical with that stance.

spatts i may be wrong here, correct me if i am.

when you say your shins are vertical, you mean from a side view perspective. in other words, when watching you do those squats from the side your shins dont move toward your toes.

but if you watch from the front, do your shins move away from your feet, or are they still vertical from the front view???

i can keep mine vertical, but i have to compensate by pushing my knees out even further to the sides.

I would guess both. I don't spread my knees, so I think they are in the same position as when I start. Never looked. lol

Why isn't that normal? On a front squat or high bar squat (I do these with a close stance) my knees come out over my toes...but no farther.

Joker...I agree. The wider my stance is the more I can sit back and my shins are straight up and down. I FINALLY realized why my knees are moving fwd when I squat...it is because my feet are not a mile apart...lol.

OK, not common, I guess is what I meant. At least it doesn't seem to be by the reaction I usually get.

I think that you told me that your knees don't go over your toes when you front squat. I watched the vids last night and it appeared in the vids of some types of squats that they did move fwd. I was confused...

I believe that Cheese and myself can high bar or front squat without our knees going past our toes...most people surely should be able to do the same.

...that about as far forward as they go. It's actually easier to stay balanced with weight on the bar.

Don't look like Cankles to me.

Mine look just about the same...

Well...without the long hair, no hat, my bar isn't that pretty, and my feet are about 2 feet longer each...

No, I actually have very skinny ankles. Avoided long jump after a few years because they would twist so easy. That's why it freaked me out to see them all puffy. lol
