A video of a back squat, Olympic lift or kipping pull-up rarely gets posted without someone making comments about how that movement is dangerous or a no rep. Generally these comments by Internet “coaches” are ignored, but every once in a while they are called out.
Yesterday was one of those times.
CrossFit posted a classic video of Annie Sakamoto and Greg Amundson doing “Fran” from over 10 years ago. Shortly after the post, @KaitlynWalsh40 commented, “her knees are gonna be hurtin in a few years.” CrossFit wouldn’t let this comment slide…

the farther she gets into her squat reps the wider her feet separate and her knees start to buckle in .
