My knees hurt when I squat.

A pretty common complaint is ‘My knees hurt when I squat’ the reasons for this are vast however, in most cases you’re squatting like you’re tea bagging.


Let’s have a look at some common problems:



Here you can see the lifters knee is flying forward
over the ankle, guys in lab coats used computers and
shit to prove the theory this puts a sheering force
through your knee, they also found when you complete
the downward cycle and change direction (known as reversal)
you are putting anywhere from 4-7 times your
body weight through your knees even at relatively light loads of 70-80% of 1RM.













Step further,

Here we some guys with mad 80’s hair do’s and awesome parachute pants.
You can see the knee has remained over the ankle throughout the lift.
The lab coats agree this reduces sheering load.
However, the reversal load remains.














Finally we have some hot bitches on the blog.
My aim is to include as many hot bitches on
this blog as possible. What we see is the hot girl
sitting back on a box. Pausing on the box removes the reversal loading
from the knees.



So now you have no excuse not to squat.
