    It's critical that your knees NOT go over your toes. You should be leaning backwards, with your weight on the bar. Do them in a squat rack, not free in the middle of the weight area. They can mess up your knees badly if your form is not correct.

    My thoughts exactly ... A form issue. :)

    Bu leaning backwards, I hope you mean - sticking your bum out backwards. If you lean backwards you're definitely doing it wrong! lol! Chest UP, butt BACK, knees over feet, lower back and abs tight!

    That's awesome! Have you had any problems with excessive pronation?

    Strengthening the vastus medialis obliquus can also help increase the stability of the knee joint in women. :)

    I am a bit knock-kneed. Ok, a LOT knock-kneed. But my feet are fairly straight in line.

    I have no idea what the vastus medialis obliquus is, but I will certainly google it to find out! Thanks.
