    Leg biceps

    My knee cracks at 90° bend. It hurts for a week whenever I do leg curls. Think I can just do half reps to avoid it since I don't compete?

    Does it only occur under pressure?
    Does it occur if you simply squat down?
    Consider taking a break from them (curls) and just do stiff leg deads for a while.

    Your getting old!!!

    I usually let it rest for a week or two and come back high reps

    No it cracks regardless, but it only hurts when theres resistance
    .
    I can't squat deep enough to go past 90 so I can't say
    .
    This has been happening for over a decade. It's not going away

    It does not. Any type of knee flection past 90° causes it. From an old sports injury. Been to an orthopedic but he was useless

    Probably an old meniscus partial tear.

    Have you ever tried the Hammer Strength Standing Iso Lateral Hamstring Machine? I have rough knee's and I feel no pain or pressure with this unit.

    I have. It's my favorite. Doesn't help. My knees just fucked. I think half reps are my only option or stiff leg RDLs
