knee pain squats

polishpaddy · 2009-03-26 18:39:05

Hi I've recently began to get sore knees. The pain is on the inside portion and towards the top of the knee. Has anyone any idea of what i could be doing wrong in the squat to cause this. Thanks.

You're probably squatting high and breaking at your knees and not hips.

Are you high bar or low bar squatting?

Are you knees shooting forward at the start of your ascent? Are they collapsing in at any point?
