Pain in my knees

what is your flexibility

Mobility work
Foam roll

I'd ballpark a whole lot of third world squats during the day to improve mobility would help, stretches all dat shit

your form might be off which is causing an unnecessarily high amount of stress on your knees.

most common mistake that results in your knees imploding is your knees getting past your toes.

>he doesn't stretch post workout

>>38832834
Read relax into stretch and check your form.
If you're doing everything correctly then, unfortunately, squats might not be for you.

I have a gym buddy that's videod me and it shows my knees don't go past my toes

>>38832907

I stretch after every set

>>38832845

I can easily do a slav style ATG squat and hold it for a good while with just my bodyweight and no barbell.

>>38833085
It's not knees past toes (which is actually a requirement for high bar squatting).

The musculature surrounding your knee and holding the joint in place is imbalanced. And I don't mean quad or hammy strength, I mean your vastus lateralis is probably tight af and pulling on your joint under load.

Otherwise, could be valgus and is likely related to mobility and form issues.

>>38833085
you're not mentioning how flexible you are. Your form is probably shit. You're probably doing too much weight. You just said you started squatting depth. Are you saying you're doing atg or parallel? You probably do not have real flexbility especially if you're doing atg. Also, if you really just started doing parallel from quarter squats you need to lower the weight

>>38833127

I squat slightly below parallel with heavy work sets.

Also, see >>38833104

>>38833127

Also, I wasn't doing quarter squats, I hit parallel, but my knees would always buckle in when I came up, that's when is decided to deload and work on proper depth.

WHY ARE YOU SO RETARDED
you don't actually say anything
>oh i lift heavy weights
>dem heavy work sets
maybe if you would say how much you actually lift, and stop being autistic then someone could actually help you

>>38833166

I'm currently at lmao1pl8

Anything else you want to know?

>>38833187
1pl8 is what, 60kg? That's not a heavy work set dude. It is a heavy work set for a beginner. Your form is probably shit, and ATG is a meme unless you are really flexible.

>>38833211

I am a beginner, and I'm not squatting ATG with it.

Your knees buckle in? It means your ass isn't activating and you're probably lifting with just your quads. They'll get tight as fuck and make your knees hurt. Screw your feet into the ground, force the floor apart and find some exercises to get that ass on

>>38833166
The actual weight doesn't matter. How that person lifts it is the actual problem.
Why do you need to know their max/work sets anyway?
