    I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

I'm stopping squats for a while. Clearly I'm doing them wrong or they're bad for my knees. Still hurting and my left knee clicks when I walk.

Why don't you just push your knees out more, which fixes the majority of knee problems, and video your form again?

Rossi,

Slow down. Seriously. And get a bigger "box." Also, best not to do anything that that is harming you. But not squatting is not going to improve your squat.

Off topic, did you build that rack? Or do they have wooden racks in Flanders?
