There's so much "bro-science" when it comes to exercise. I suspect many of this nonsense comes from people getting injured by doing too much too soon, and then generalizing it. Like toes in squats, or pelvic tilt in squats, or locking knees in leg presses. There's some truth that all of these can be dangerous if you're a beginner and you're handling more weight than you should. But the whole point of exercise is that your body adapts. You need to give it time. Tendons, ligaments, and joints take much longer to "get stronger" than muscle does.
