I squatted 345 lbs at 188 lbs bw a while back. Haven't been to the gym consistently since then bc of work. I figure that is good enough to quit forever and brag about.

Paper Diamonds posted:So my knees have been getting reeeally sore and tight after squatting. My first day at this new gym and I make this comment to one of the guys who competes in powerlifting. He proceeds to coach me for like 30 minutes on wide stance squats. Squatted pretty heavy (for me) and my knees felt way way way better the next day. Only thing is, with the wider stance I'm not bombing all the way rear end to grass ( I normally squat so low that my hamstrings touch my calves), but he said I'm still breaking parallel by a few inches when squatting wide. He told me that if I want to do deep narrow squats to do lighter weight, and for heavier do a wide stance to just below parallel. You'll spare your knees at the expense of your hips

Dum Cumpster posted:You missed the "but don't do it if it hurts" that applies to everything. Number one rule of lifting. Don't feel like you have to squat, especially if your goal is to develop your physique and ESPECIALLY if you can't do it without your knees/hips/back hurting. If youre dead-set on squatting, adjust your form and lighten the weight. Keep the intensity high by increasing the rep range, decreasing the rest periods, pre-exhaust, etc

Paper Diamonds posted:At the time of squatting it feels good. The next day stiff as gently caress. I'll try narrow and a bit shallower on Monday. Are wider stance really that bad of an alternative? I'm not even sure if the depth in the narrow squat is the issue that's causing the stiffness. They're not necessarily bad but can stress your hips out over time. Better than something that'd definitely causing you pain.

i forgot if i posted this or not last week but i've had some squatting knee issues too. i had no problems last time i worked out squatting, then i got a job working a shitton of hours where I'm on my feet(but it's not terribly grueling) and quit working out for about 6 or 7 months. Anyway, I joined a 24 7 gym a couple weeks ago and I'm getting back in the swing of things except I get knee pain when I squat now. It doesn't hurt bad as long as I don't ignore it and keep squatting. Feels like a tightness tugging around my kneecap is the best way to describe it. I've tried going wide on my stance, but my loss of flexibility makes that hard to keep my knees out tracking with my toes, and doesn't seem to make a difference anyway. I'm sure I know what it is, since I've been working out I've neglected foam rolling and stretching at night. I started doing it last night(focusing on quads and IT band mostly, but I hit other areas too), and it seemed to help the pain(and I had none today) but it's too early to tell for sure. just posting in here because why not? but i guess thats the answer. also fwiw deadlift doesn't hurt. In fact jumping back in and working up to a 225x5 deadlift over the 2 weeks didsn't even hurt it, but if i attempt even a 115 squat it did.

please be careful with your knees, I wasnt and tore a ligament in half. It wasnt even that painful so dont assume youre ok just because the pain isnt so bad I squatted weirdly, my knee felt off and then a mild pain/discomfort after a while. Went a month waiting for it to heal but it never got back to 100% Had surgery after finding out the ligament was broken and the mild discomfort went away but its still not and prob never will be 100% again

yeah I'm not even going to attempt to squat anything over 115 until I'm sure it's 100% pain free. Like I said I'm pretty sure it's just tightness doing it. The first time I started working out I thought I was loving up my back deadlifting, and it turned out I wasn't really stretching or foam rolling and doing that made it go away. Hoping it's the same deal here. Also I'm not sure how I would have tore anything. I know my form wasn't awful or anything and I didn't do anything to injure it the past few months. Like I said, this pain only started when I resumed working out after 6 months of inactivity other than working. e: I do have health insurance now, finally. At what point should I see go see a doctor? I figure I make sure to stretch and foam roll and do all I can to get my flexibility back while going extremely easy about trying to squat. If the pain goes away then I guess I'm good. If it doesn't I guess I should make an appointment? e2: while it's my left knee that usually a little worse, it's the exact same in both. What are the chances I'd just have randomly snapped ligaments in both knees? Drunk Driver Dad fucked around with this message at 10:04 on Mar 14, 2016 |
