Yeah that's all fine. I wasn't concerned with whatever stance really. I was just wondering about your knees. As far as sitting back I don't expect you to achieve impossible, lol. It just means to break at the hips (hips come back) rather than only the knees (hips come forward). I know some people say to break at the hips before the knees break, lol, but it's not some kind of goodmorning. If your try that all that will happen is that your body will reallign itself once the knees break or you'll make it much harder than it needs to be.

Next time someone tells you to bring your hips back BEFORE your knees break ask them to pick out a low chair and try sitting back in it that way. You basically fall into the chair. I've seen people say this many times and it's such complete nonsense. The hips and knees work in a unit to maintain the proper body alignment so that the weight is not shifted predominantly to one muscle group or another. This is the "always squat at the same angle" crowd.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
