I noticed you lean your knees in when you come up, does this activate you hips more?

nope... thats bad and i need to stop it, its actually the opposite, my hips are weak right now cause i havent been sumo deadlifting. Knees coming in on a squat like that robs you of a lot of power out of the hole. Pay attention in like two/three weeks ill get more squat vids up and my knees wont be drifting in anymore.

 

[Big_BK]

Hmm, good to know. I gotta meet up and train DL and Squat with you once my knee heals up because i think im at the point now where little technique changes will help me with my weak areas which you could probably spot easier then i could.

you got it BK

when did you hurt your knee what happened

 

[Big_BK]

Hmm has to be close to like 3-4 weeks now but i was going for a new max on squats with 570lbs, got it. Knee felt a little tender under the knee cap but i had that happen before so i wrote it off. Went over on the leg press and wrapped my knees up again and was doing like 1200lbs for reps then after my last set when i got up i couldnt put any pressure on that leg and when i went to bend it i would just collapse and the leg would give out. I looked online and its the patellar tendon where it connects to the shin bone. I've had this happen before but never to this extend, usually after a week i was good to go again but not this time. fuckin sucks.

Funny thing was it didnt hurt throughout the whole lift and even after it wasnt that bad, i think i just tore it slightly then made it much worse by doing leg press after i already fucked it up.
