I cannot stress enough "knees out" External rotation of the knee not only allows you to drive through the heel (and therefore be efficient) it also is imperative to knee health. I saw a lot of knees caving in today...no bueno for that very essential joint.

Think "Rotate" the knees out, rather than just pushing them out to the side. External rotation, and creating torque is imperative to maximizing your potential as well as longevity of the knees.
As indicated on the blog, we had a 15 min. time cap unless someone was very close to finishing. Weights are noted since "Rx" technically means also doing the work associated with the workout (not just the weight)

Some folks decided to also get on the leader board for some runs (400m, 800m), and rows. Congrats to Seshu, Roman, Mike Fab, and Ken for getting on the running boards, Travis for getting on the 500m row, and our teens, Tre for getting on the 400m board and Greg A for running a 2:19 800m. (and that's with a turnaround and uphills!)
The knee is not capable of externally rotation, the hip externally rotates. :)
erm...yes, the knee can be externally rotated. Maybe what you meant to say was "the knee cannot independently externally rotate from the femur." The leg as a system can internally and externally rotate.

now go spend time with your kids!
Just thought I'd throw this into the mix. "Knees out" and externally rotating the hips when getting set to squat, etc. cannot be achieved as easily in an athlete whose joints are "sticky", versus an athlete whose joint capsule is "loose". Setting the hips into the joint socket by external rotation is harder to achieve by an athlete who doesn't mobilize those areas frequently. Not to mention, they probably don't even know what it feels like if they've never put themselves through the pain of joint capsule mobility. This is why I have such a boner about it.
P, my comment was what was in quotes. The knee itself cannot internally rotate. Knees tracking in is a hip issue.
As in despite looking on google and finding videos claiming otherwise. The statement "external rotation of the knee" does not exist.
