What's inflammed my knee tendinitis again?

[Ice-man]

My knee was perfectly healing after finally fixing my form. Prior to this I used to squat with upright torso which caused left knee tendinitis.

For some strange reason my knee gets inflammed after using a belt (@250lb)for the 1st time since I restarted LP. Wearing the belt It's like pushing the weight forward of mid-foot at times.? Can someone tell me what's inflammed my knee again?

It might be the Adipowers, the short time I did squats with mine I had inflamed knees. I went back to a flat sole,(Reebok Power Shoe) the knee pain went away.

Very unlikely it's usually triggered by my knee going to far forward at the bottom of the squat? I'm wondering if my squats are too deep? Maybe I should cut them of a little? Any suggestions would be great please

I wouldn't say they are too deep, but your knee travels forward the whole way down. If you;re sure it's squatting that is hurting your knee (and not, say, jogging on a treadmill, or front squats) then try getting your knee forward sooner (about halfway down) and then sitting back while keeping your knee fixed in place.

Also, try not to do that thing with the leaning forward before starting the squat. It's pulling your knees backwards and might contribute to the time it takes them to get all the way forward.

good luck

Using a heel can be a contributor to knees going forward, but they're your knees. Good luck.

I think I see more knee drive than hip drive, but I'm not expert.

Not an expert either but I'd argue the initial premise that you have your form fixed in the first place. Your setup of locking your knees and then bending forward isn't a good starting place from which to initiate the lift.

I'd get videos from the different angles to get a better idea.

I think my form has deteriorated overtime as these two last videos has less knee forward
