Are you serious? You would not even be able to bend down. And with weights actually on your back, your whole knee probably crush.

Do you enjoy having your knees all together in the same place? Good. Then don't point your toes in.

That is what I always do. Gives me more balance, I can do deeper, and stay back on heels more. I recomend it.

I'm thinking your coach doesn't know what he's talking about. Definitely don't do that. For example: try standing up, pointing your toes in, and doing the squat position to about parallel. Feel that ache in your knees? Imagine that and 300+ lbs on top of you. *crush*

Confront him? I'd turn him in to the principal for ignorance.

I've never even thought of pointing my toes inward before. wtf?
