Why we do not believe in knees pushed out when squatting (oly style)

Coach Wu Chuanfu:

————————————

[begins to teach the squat]

Relax the body. (phone vibrates)

Weight, put on the quads

Our goal is to lift, beautifully…so don’t push your chest up like that. The expression needs to be…cool. Use your hip flexors, now don’t have to use your hands. Your torso controls the balance. Hands chill.

Knees use power by pushing IN (demonstrate) at the bottom. And not by pushing knees out.

This is why we do this. Believe it a little more?

Me: people say if you push the knees, it’ll hurt

Coach: Injury? Even when some people don’t push your knees in, they still get hurt. (Example, me)

Me: So this technique, is okay?

Coach: 100%, no problem

Me: China? How do they teach it?

Coach: Go google, Long Qingquan, his clean and snatch, his knees are like that. Many, many athletes are like that. You guys can go look. Nobody actually realizes stuff like this. I’d explain more in person, because we don’t have enough time to do this on video.

Citaat:

Now upon further discussion with Coach, about biomechanics and safety, this is the response; “Explain to me now Kirk, with scientific knowledge, how can a human being lift 200KG over their head weighing 69KG. Explain to me now, how what a gymnast does is safe for the body. Explain to me, how playing golf, AT A PROFESSIONAL level is good for you. Explain to me, how being a shooter is safe as you know their training methods because you have shooter friends. Sometimes, we need to trust the body’s intelligence. Trust the body’s ability to readjust minor bits to protect itself. Yes, we’re not the most scientifically backed team in the world. But that is because the scientists and professors respect, the coaches and vice versa. They know their roles. Scientists do not attempt to be coaches, and coaches respect scientists that do their work and discuss. But at the end of the day, we attain results in the SAFEST way. Why? Because, sport at high level, it isn’t safe. But we do what we can, to be as SAFE AS POSSIBLE. So our results with the 300,000 weightlifting athletes that China has in its bank has come to the conclusion that, injuries will not happen pushing the knees in. Our of 300,000 athletes, the pre-elimination process of nearly 700,000 athletes gives us a sample size that’s close to a million athletes. Yet, the most common injury in China isn’t knee pain. It’s WRIST pain due to volume and size of that joint. Now if that many athletes rarely report knee injuries, can we safely say that pushing knees in is safe? I suppose so right? This is what I mean, by scientists do their job and coaches respect scientists in China. They work to one common goal, results. They do not work, to create problems for each other.
