Legs Tonight - Knee Problem

[gettinlarger]

My knee, more left than right, makes noise every time i squat down, weight or no weight. I had it checked out a couple years ago, but there was no problem. Get it checked, just in case. Better safe than being buried under a crapload of weight.

A lot of people here aren't going to agree with me on this....
But try going just slighly past parrallel... your knee joint is in a very vulnerable position when your hams are touching your soleus.... I've talked to my ex powerlifter Deep tissue massage therapist, as well as my chiropractor(who is very large and into bodybuilding) and another dude who was doing 10 reps with 450 at the gym... they all agreed that you knee joint is wide open and a lot of stress is being put on it when you go too much past parrallel... I think a little past parralel is good.. but any deeper and my knees feel awkward... I think its better being safe than sorry.

"noise" without pain is generally nothing to worry about

FOr the record... my knees snap, crackle and pop like rice crispies right after you poor the milk on 'em...

I've got em checked out many times and the worst thing Ive had wrong is a slightly tight IT band
