Anytime you do squats where your knees go over your toes, the fitness police cringe.

“Oh no, don’t do that, you’ll shear your knee joints,” they say.

In today’s YouTube video, Scary Squats, you get to see an exercise I learned while training in Thailand, as well as one coming from the akhara pits in India.

And if you haven’t subscribed to my channel yet, it would be awesome to see you come on board because you’ll be first in line whenever I post something new.
