Top 3 reasons for knee pain in squatting:

1. You're not hitting depth (imbalance in the anterior/posterior forces acting on the knee causing a strain)
2. You aren't actively shoving your knees out to track over your toes (lack of adductor involvement in the bottom of the movement means forces aren't balanced across the entire joint)
3. You're in your knees at the bottom of the squat rather than in your hips (you're sitting your centre mass over your knees and pushing through them rather than sitting back into the hips to take advantage of the hip drahve)

Yep knees out

Unless you have tight hip flexors but you didn't complain about that

Wait am I supossed to push my knees out over my toes?

I always thought this was bad form

No push your knees out to the side niggy

Externally rotate

1. You are quarter squatting. You are not hitting depth. You are putting all that weight on your knees instead of balancing it throughout your core and legs by going to depth.
2. As others have mentioned, knees go out. Imagine trying to screw your legs outward into the floor. It is also possible that you knees are actually rotating in at the bottom of you squat

there's like a 103.8% chance it's not your form. any idiot can copy form guides online. you need to stretch after you lift. three or so hours after you lift stretch your hip flexor
