Oh dear I hope someone can at least understand what I´m trying to say..
The position of the cleat should be relative to your knees and not relative to the muscles that you are working. If you move the cleat forward or backward from your ideal position, I believe that you are opening yourself up to injuries.

I'm sure someone who is more experienced with bike fitting can supply more details.
