Wtf mate? That's your knee, that is not normal.
Next time try squatting with lower weight and don't bend your knees

You can still crouch from the ankles and hips like normal, just don't bend knees
Thomas Sanders
Soft knees my nueiiggaaa

Don’t listen to that schizophrenic advice. Use more butt to take the weight off your knees.

I'm not OP, but 2 days ago was my first time squatting (or any activity for the purpose of building leg muscles), I squatted 40LBS 10x10. That night I could hardly walk down the stairs, and now my thighs/ass are extra sore whenever I'm getting up, sitting down, etc.
Is this normal?
Anthony Nguyen
>10x10
why?
Austin Mitchell
stretch after you lift, especially hamstrings and it band
Julian Robinson
I had knee pain as well, used a lower weight and really worked on my form. Then I moved up in weight again and had no issues
Liam Miller
What the fuck are you trying to say? Can you u draw picture
Robert Reyes
Yes it's normal
Mason Garcia
yep, normal
desu 10 sets is a bit much for first time ever doing something
is the pain actually in the posterior aspect of the knee? or on the side?
if side, consider pes anserine bursitis and keep in mind the following:
often this type of lateralized knee pain has to do with knees bending inwards or outwards during the movement - pay attention to this and ensure its not the case, knees should not drift outside of the plane defined by the plane bisecting the ankle vertically
also, consider googling stretches to reduce stress on pes anserine area (has to do with hamstring/IT band afairecall)

user, HEED MY POST
Your problem is that you're not correctly engaging your glutes during your squat and are compensating using your ITB. I had the exact same pain from running a long time ago and this was the issue. Weak glutes.
Fix your squat, squeeze your ass muscles when you squat. Wouldn't hurt to roll your glute with a lacrosse ball now and then either. Pigeon stretch as well.
I'm fucking telling you bro.

If you need to bend the knees, no more than 10degrees.

What's the downside to that many reps/sets? I do all of my exercises 10x10, mainly to compensate for the light weights I have (20 LBS dumbbells, I Just ordered more plates in the mail).
Is 10 reps/sets too many even once you're more developed? I've only been working out for a couple of months, so I'm still a new fag.

Austin Howard
yes 10 sets is too many, esp for squats
Charles Martinez
I see a lot of people do 5x5, that's probably a better amount? And why is 10x10 bad, is it just because of diminishing returns, or something else?

Muscle is built during recovery, not workout. Doing more will make recovery harder
Gavin Ross
Looks like it could be damaged or torn meniscus, go see a Dr about having MRIs done

It's not permanent pain, though. For instance now, 3 hours later, the pain is gone
Isaiah Garcia
I was the same, it would hurt after bending it with pressure on (squatting etc), also used to swell up after long periods standing in work. Ending g up having keyhole surgery done and its fine now
The injury that tore it was August 2017, noticed pain in november 2018, surgery Feb 19 andback too 100% by March
