I'm going to make the video by coach about why you should squat pushing the knees in.
Personally, after spend 2 weeks squatting like this, I've hit 170KG for triples in my back squat, done slowly. Something I've struggled with for years squatting knees pushed out. For years I disliked squatting because it killed my hips and knees. Now...hip and knees, no longer hurt and my ankles for some reason have become more flexible. No, I've no clue why.
There's 2 things I foresee happening.
1. People flip and say that it'll cause injuries and just because top athletes can do it, doesn't mean everyone can because anatomically and biomechnically, it's unstable.
2. People say "But this coach says knees out, etc"
Now here's a response before it happens.
Be true to your words. Be deep in your thoughts. Not just wide....many people know about a lot of things. But they don't embrace the depth of the things they learn about.
Try to give something "new", a chance. We don't talk tough here at
http://www.lifthard.com/, because we want to hand out an invitation for you, to think. To reason. To also consider that the Coach speaking on this video has NEVER gotten any knee injuries, has posted a 230KG back squat video after just 4 squat sessions, even after retiring for 2 years.
We're trying to give you an opportunity, to ponder why Coach Wu has disgustingly massive quads, no knee injuries, ridiculous squat numbers, jumps that are explosive as hell, no IT band pain and really healthy hips.

Today I'll teach you to squat
"WataoooO~!!"
First off, that's wrong. Don't do that...
[begins to teach the squat]
Relax the body. (phone vibrates)
Weight, put on the quads
Our goal is to lift, beautifully...so don't push your chest up like that. The expression needs to be...cool. Use your hip flexors, now don't have to use your hands. Your torso controls the balance. Hands chill.
Knees use power by pushing IN (demonstrate) at the bottom. And not by pushing knees out.
This is why we do this. Believe it a little more?
Me: people say if you push the knees, it'll hurt
Coach: Injury? Even when some people don't push your knees in, they still get hurt. (Example, me)
Me: So this technique, is okay?
Coach: 100%, no problem
Me: China? How do they teach it?
Coach: Go google, Long Qingquan, his clean and snatch, his knees are like that. Many, many athletes are like that. You guys can go look. Nobody actually realizes stuff like this. I'd explain more in person, because we don't have enough time to do this on video.

Actually there might be a third response.
3. "Oh an active push isn't the same as a knee collapse"
