Do you recommend bending at the knee's?

[@ATACompFund]

Repetition is the mother of learning, the father of action, which makes it the architect of accomplishment...so yes, always bend at the knees. Be safe;)

[@nickcarnahan9981]

Definitely gonna want to to definitely bend at the knees

[@grayw.hemphilliii2002]

Should we bend our knees?

[@ATACompFund]

Like I said guys, always bend at the knees...repetition reinforces repetition.
