Summation of Forces About The Knee Equals Zero: Knee Loading In A Properly Performed Low-Bar Squat Tom Bailey | January 12, 2022 Before I found the Starting Strength program, I was a runner and basketball player, with the resulting sore knees consistently limiting what I intended to do. I expected the same knee soreness or worse when I began to low-bar squat in middle age as part of my Novice Linear Progression.

I had a 36-degree curvature in my lumbar spine and a 15-degree curvature in my thoracic spine – a classic “S” curve.
