A bit of a side question -- would you recommend the Supple Leopard book for figuring out the underlying biomechanics of many martial arts techniques? The spine positioning, in particular, looks a lot like what Tai Chi tries to achieve...
Yes.
Yes, just ignore him when he tries to say that elite olympic weightlifters are squatting wrong. He's basically good everywhere else. (what is up with this pattern in the exercise world?)
I don't particularly know about exercise, but once, being annoyed by all of the spammy advertisements that say "Never do this exercise!", I googled for that phrase. It seems that everyone with an exercise blog has some set of exercises to "never do". I suspect it's simply a clickbait pattern, the same as for those ads: choose something unremarkable and be conspicuously against it. Being right is optional.
Yeah, I got curious and googled up that controversy -- my impression is that Starrett backed off and is now saying that "knees out" only means "don't collapse your knees in"...
Oh, that's great news! Always nice to see someone update rather than get defensive.
