    do not let your knees go past your toes.

    This has actually been disproven quite a few times. While you certainly want to make sure to recruit your hips, trying to keep your knees from tracking forward doesn't really work for everyone. Whether or not they go forward of your toes is dictated more by anatomy than anything else.

    yes, the knees/toe thing is bogus. Think of two different people who have the same height, length of shin, thigh, torso, etc... Except one person has a size 13 foot and the other has a size 7 foot. Obviously, their knees will be in a different position relative to their toes.
