Knee Tracking Cue for Beginners
Knee tracking cue for beginners keeps knees aligned with toes on squats and lunges—fix cave with lighter load and tempo before adding plates.
Knee tracking cue for beginners means knees move in line with toes during squats, lunges, and leg press—no dramatic inward collapse (valgus) or outward whip on the ascent. Cue "spread the floor" with the feet or "knees toward pinky toe" while keeping heels down.
Weak glutes and rushed load often cause cave; fix with tempo and lighter weight before knee sleeves and ego plates. Mild wobble on final reps is common; consistent collapse every rep means deload.

Common questions
-
Is some knee movement past toes bad?
Forward knee travel is normal in many squat styles. Inward collapse under load is the pattern to fix—not every degree of forward travel.
