Old martial arts habit, I guess.. (front stance)

I'll TRY and put it straight back next time, see what happens..

I don't feel out of balance looking into the mirror, but yeah, if there's no problem putting the knee farther out than the foot, then I'll not bother..

I thought that was a big thing..

They make a point of not doing it for regular squats in the SS book, I seem to recall..

I DO notice that the farther back I lean, the less strain on my knee, and the more burn on my quads..
