External rotation on wall splits?

When doing wall splits should there be any external rotation? Coach says to pull down but I noticed halfway through the stretch that I was also applying some external rotation. Didn't hurt or anything but was just wondering.

Hi @Affan Osman, externally rotating should be no problem as long as you keep your butt to the wall.

Hey Affan,

You don't want to allow your knees to roll in during pancake or middle split work. Avoid internal rotation of the femur. If your going to roll your knees, roll them outwards (externally).
