New To Squats
I just started doing squats.
Issue: After I perform squats (even after my last workout where I lowered the weight), I get a serious dull ache in my knee joints (only my knees) the next day or two after I do them. I never have pain while I'm doing them, and the aches go away in time for me to hit squats again (I do them two times a week).
Question: From what I've said would you see this as technique problem (I've read up and everything seems fine), the joints (hips and knees) getting accustomed to a new exercise, or is this just a normal part of using squats? I have pretty poor flexibilty in my legs, could this be the reason?
I do a basic 4x12, but I was hoping that this would pass so I could start going heavier.
Any suggestions?

Spank, I have a bum kneee myself, arthritis to be exact, told I would never walk. Not only does that kneee ache on occasion, but so does my good knee. I dont think aching knee's is uncommon and as long as its not a sharp pain and it goes away you should be fine. Perhaps you want to try some joint products and see if it helps. I think as lifters we all suffer from aches and pains that the average joe would never knew they had, but then again the pain is part of the pleasure 
Strong man i ahve the exact same problem as you. My arse is big but majority is muscle and the girls like it 
But i don't want it to get any bigger however i don't feel sore the next day without squats and their benefits are numerous including raising you nat test!
I am a ''31'' waist but have ''25''legs so i allways have to buy 34 waist and use a belt and i want bigger legs but without having to buy clown trousres.
How the hell do the pro's wear trousers at contest time paul dillet is ''29'' w and ''33'' hmmm. taylor made?
