    Default Knee Pain? Squatting too high!

    Hi geezers, geezettes, geezlings, and other older types.

    The other day my right knee was starting to bother me on the second set 325lb squats. This pain is pretty rare for me. I was worried that something was wrong. Then I figured out that I wasn't going deep enough. On my third set I went to proper depth (probably a little too deep) and no knee pain. Its amazing how much Rip has to offer. I was getting nervous that the weight was too high, but as Rip points out, properly executed squats should not cause knee problems.

    Right you are. Moreover, at some point you may find knee wraps helpful.
