Knee collapsing, often observed in weightlifting during movements like the dip phase of a jerk, is a phenomenon technically known as valgus collapse. This occurrence is not merely a technical fault in lifting form; it's deeply rooted in the physical qualities and biomechanics of the athlete.
At the core of this issue is the interplay between muscle strength and joint stability. The stability of the knee joint is heavily reliant on the surrounding musculature, particularly the glutes and hip abductors. When these muscles are weak or uncoordinated, they fail to adequately support the lateral (outside) movement of the knee. As a result, during intense activities like weightlifting, the knees tend to collapse inward towards the body's midline, a direction they are not structurally optimized to handle under heavy loads.
What I've demonstrated here is a simple technique cue to enhance your performance in lifting. However, it's crucial to also work on your hip and ankle mobility and stability to maintain proper body alignment throughout the movement.
Remember, train like a human before you train like an athlete.
