Knee Valgus in the Pull

There is a lot going on between the foot and the hip, meaning there are a lot of possible causes and combinations for something like this.
 
Like any dysfunction, actually diagnosing the cause is the best way to determine a correction strategy—but that’s not a real option for a lot of you, so the next best approach is to throw everything at it.
 
EASE into the depth drop/jump work—it’s deceptively hard on the body. You do NOT need a high box—12” is adequate this purpose.
 
In addition to the exercises in this video, you should be addressing foot/arch strength/stability (to include at least temporarily using orthotics or some kind of more supportive insole) and general hip stability, from strengthening all aspects of hip motion to training stability through various motions from hinging to stepping to lunging to squatting.
 
It’s also worth experimenting with different pulling stances, from width to how much your toes are turned out. Too wide and too toed-out, and too narrow and toes too directly forward can both contribute to the issue—but generally erring on the wider side is better.
