Knee pain when squating!!!!!

[bbminded]

My past to leg workouts have been cut short due to a pain in my left knee when squating. first workout i started with squats and when i got to 225 i felt the pain when i got just to parallel. and today i started with leg ext. then leg curls. then did squats and stated with 145 and had no problem. went to 225 and BAM my knee gave out. Any budy have any ideas or maybe same exp. ????

i get the same when going to up from squat. when you rise up avoid sudden movements (sudden locking of knees?) helped me a lot.

When you say your knee gave out can you give more info e.g. was it descending or ascending? Did you complete your sqaut? how is your knee now any swelling? Does your knee ever lock? etc

Check your squat form. How are you squatting. Are your knees going over your toes?

Check your squat/leg press form. You also might want to look into some horse liniments, and wraps/sleeves for your knees. I'd also suggest getting on some joint support stuff, like Animal Flex (works really well for me).

You can get the liniments and wraps/sleeves from powerlifting supply sites.
