ABOUT THIS VIDEO
Trainers and PTs often say you should never let your knees go over your toes during squats. But when you see athletes squatting in real-world situations, you see them squatting and split squatting with the knees over the toes.

Allowing the knee to go in front of the toes can be dangerous if you don't carefully train for it. If you gradually train your squat and split squat with knees in front of toes, you improve your athletic capabilities. Athletes in virtually all sports need to be able to control squat positions where their knees travel over their toes. If you can't achieve and control the position safely, your athletic performance will suffer.

When practicing squats and split squats, make sure you stay within pain-free limits of your range of motion, and don't overdo the sets and reps. You want to gradually build strength and length to go knees over toes in your squats and split squats. Go slow and with control!
