Minimizing heel dig and rolling the hips up through proximal hamstrings and glutes often reduces knee symptoms. The distal hamstrings are weaker hip extensors than the proximal hamstrings and gluteus maximus. Digging the heels down hard can bias the distal hamstrings. If the pelvic tuck is correct but knee pain remains, excessive heel digging is a likely issue. Aggressive heel pressure during the lift may shift stress closer to the knee.
