Topic: knees buckling

that helps, but I think you will see major transformation as you get more substantial legs via SQ etc.

The "buckling" is not necessarily an error.

The difference w/ DL is you are getting ready for a major hip boost which will involve contracting the glutes and therefore rotating the femurs outward.

You happen to have the flexibility to prepare for that by first rotating inward (you can see a vestige of that in Botev's lifts).

So you are saying that i should not worry about my right knee "buckling in", but as I get stronger legs and it will not occur anymore?

btw, you got a nice cave for lifting in.  Bricks, wood panelling, a comfy couch to rest between sets.  Sweet!

Thanks, it is fully finish basement, the bricks is the chimney for the wood stove that you see on my left which I removed. The only thing I hate about it is the comfortable carpet, I want to replace some of it with rubber flooring. I also have power rack, glute ham, dumbbells to 100, a sandbag, lots of bands, farmer walk handles, a sled, a Prowler look a like T-sled and other small things.
I honestly wish I had more people to lift with me that like to lift heavy stuff .

yes, I believe the stronger legs will help, but my point is that the flexibility to allow some inward femoral rotation before the outward rotation of the thrust thru the hip boost is not necessarily all bad.

Sara Cowles just won Jr Nats w/ a similar phenomenon more visible in the vid due to the lighting, and like I said, the magnificent Botev also showed a slight amount of that.
