knees getting deaded by squats

[Roberto]

I'm 6'5" 220 lbs and been goin to gym now for like 6-7 weeks. at first I was just doing lightweight squats but now I'm doin 5x5 so the weight is a bit heavier. i've noticed my knees are sore and feel shitty after I squat and a few days after. I was squatting 3 times a week but I'm gonna take 2 weeks off but I'm just wondering what I should do after? my form was kind of fucked up in the beginning but it's better now so idk.

Try using a difference stand... sure it can hit different areas of the quads slightly but all in all if doing a too narrow stand is gunna fuck up your knees maybe worth doing a slightly wider stand.

probably bending your knees too much. keep your knees closer to your body/dont go farther than your toes

- Make sure your feet are at least shoulder width apart. A wider stance may help like Walli said.

- Activate your glutes before bending your knees and going parallel. Going down straight onto your knees can really fuck up your knees. This is quite a common problem if you're having knee problems.

- Make sure your knees aren't going over your toes, it's best that your knees track your toes whilst going down.

- Track your squat form while going down and coming up to see if you're activating the right muscles.

I've watched this series a few times and taken points off it to improve my form. It's quite long but worth the watch if you want to reduce injury and improve your squat.
