Squat Form Check - Please.

Week before last, at 350lbs squats, my right knee started hurting a little. I have had these aches and pains off and on since starting SS. That Wednesday it was still hurting and I went ahead and squatted the 355lbs and it seemed to aggravate it more. Still hurting but, I went ahead and squatted the 360lbs on Friday morning. It all felt great but, it started hurting even more.

I took all of last week off to let it heal or whatever it was going to do. It hurt that Saturday and Sunday to just walk around but, by Monday it was pretty much gone. Hadn't bothered me at all.

This morning I could "feel" where the pain was coming from just like the week before. It feels like it's in the inner right knee. Almost (or right at) where the joints meet. I'm not familiar with tendentious and maybe that's what it is but, no idea. Hopefully some of you can help me figure it out in these three videos I took this morning.







Is there anything I'm missing (besides my left arm) or anything that stands out what might be causing it?

One cool thing. I had to tighten up my belt by one hole. :P

Thanks.

Either you forgot to post the links, or my iPhone doesn't show them.

Ps. I really like wearing neoprene single layer knee sleeves.

Your phone must big show them. Get Tapatalk. I have TKs, although the split.

your knees are coming inward as you come up out of the hole. keep those fuckers JAMMED the fuck out as you feel the bounce and start the ascent.

also, from the third video, you might be a pube too high. i hate to suggest it but you might want to take 30 pounds off the bar and try to get a little deeper

keep at it

Thanks T. I see a slight sway in the knees but, I don't think it's that bad. I'll work on it. I think I was a little high too.

I think I am going to wide with my stance. The squats I did today felt better and I was going deeper. I'll see how it is Friday when I squats again.

yeah, post again. good luck

It's very slight, occurs only on some reps, and shouldn't be enough to cause worry or injury, IMO.

The perspective is a little wonky, but if you compensate for that, depth looks good... at least to me.

mwhities, it doesn't sound like tendinitis. Maybe a cartilage injury, possibly a meniscus problem?

But I don't see anything obvious in those clips that would cause that kind of pain in the joint line inside the knee.
