## Caption

You were told knees should never pass the toes. That rule might be why stairs feel fragile now.
ㅤ
Truth is your knee is built to bend well past your toes, that's normal, healthy range. The old warning wasn't about safety, it was a lifting cue that got mistaken for a life rule. Avoid that range forever and the tissue around the joint never gets prepared for real load.
ㅤ
Try it: Bulgarian split squat, back foot supported on a bench, front knee drifting forward over the toes on the way down. Ten slow reps each side, controlled tempo.
ㅤ
Most people can build real resilience here, progressively and pain free. If you're dealing with an actual injury, get that looked at first, this is for everyone else.
