K* recommends somewhere between 5 & 12 degrees for optimum knees out.

In this one K* says "The knee can be completely safe and effective with somewhere between 3-7 degrees of foot turn out."

Diane Fu has strong "external rotators". What are they? I need some of those.
Also, with feet straighter you have more power in the external rotators to keep the knees out. I would never have thought that would be the case, so interesting.
Notes for self: "Yes, better mobility and addressing the other factors Kelly notes will allow you to keep your feet straighter and not lose torque.
