    You're doing it wrong.

    I was told by multiple people that my form was perfect for both front and back squats. I damaged my knees when I was younger through a couple of unfortunate accidents, nothing serious but they sound like cement mixers since I was 13 or 14. I found that days after I did a legs orientated workout my knees hurt, ie: pain not strain, and it was a muscular thing either.

    Sorry about that. Cant you build up the musculature around the knees to take all the slack?

    Rooster, I was the same with my knee, I couldn't let anyone touch it (age 15-22 I had problems) until after I started taking Glucosamine, Chondroitin and Udo's choice (fish oil is meant to be better for joints but I get indigestion from them), have you ever tried these supps?

    My knees are fine since I stopped the weight training on them, squats in particular, though I do other leg work such as lunges and other stuff (no names for them so can't be bothered explaining) as part of my conditioning work, I never use a barbell, just two dumbells held above my shoulders.

    Udo's oil, lovely stuff, far too expensive for me to be honest, I use oil in nearly everything I cook (Avocado and Olive oil only) and I rarely eat fish, except for canned tuna.

    At the moment the supplements I take are:
    1. Glucosamine, Chondroitin, Collagen complex (Joint therapy plus is the name)
    2. ZMA
    3. Centrum
    4. L-Carnitine
    5. CLA
