funky squat problem...

Thanks, Lizzy!

I'm extremely tight in my hip flexors. 😔

Me, too.

Take it slow. Hips are slow to loosen up.

I just ordered a leg stretcher. The device is designed to improve your full splits. I've wanted one since I was a kid watching JCVD movies. When I was younger and practiced Tae Kwon Do, I could easily throw a kick over an adult's head; cold.

Now - older, heavier, and with more muscle, I'm as stiff as a board!

I stopped squating years ago as my knees were starting to get very sore klicking like fuck, along with my hips... But every now and again I get the urge to put them back into my routine

What I've noticed is my left foot wants to step back to be comfortable, if I keep my feet in line the movement feels twisted, ive torn both my hamstrings over the years , so im wondering if that's effected my stance, or if my hips are out of line

I notice the same thing using the xtrainer, I have to keep shuffeling my left foot forward on the foot pads, any of this ring any bells with you kinesogical experts?

I stopped squatting at 19 because I have a bad right knee problem it always locks up. I've switched to the squat machine they have at my gym and hack squats sometimes. I've seen better gains on my legs with those

Do you have a torn meniscus?

No, I've never had an injury to my knees. My right knee just locks up sometimes when I squat even light weight. The funny thing is I can do like 9-10 plates on the leg press with no problem
