Or, give the sqautting a break for a month, see if it goes away forever.

oh i gave it a "break" for about 6 months.  i just started working out again 3 weeks ago (just finished squats actually) and it's bad.  it squeaks all the way down, cracks, then squeaks on the way up.

isn't glucosamine expensive as shit, or does bb.com have some 4,000 gram jug for 21.99?

i suppose i could look it up myself.

Glucosamine is cheap as chips for a supplement that actually works!

You're not hardcore enough unless your knees DO crack a little while performing squats.

hit the sauna.  Keeps the joints healthy and cleans toxins from your body.

There are different forms of glucosamine might want to look into that. Price sometimes does determine quality.

just quit doing squats. as long as you do them your knees are going to suffer. fuck legs. why do them at all, when 1. its hard on the joints and 2. it renders you unable to even walk properly. whats the point of suffering through this just so you can add a miniscule little bit to your thigh size? just because your so used to the schmoes on bbing forums? whats the point unless you are competing

if your knees crack but there is no pain then do not worry, it may be just tight ligaments
