I honestly need help

[Gonzo]

I apologize, I was previously talking down on squatting but that's because I can't. My knee hurts real bad whenever I try. Please help.

What's that breh? You talking about using the machine? I really want to go free weight I don't feel like I'm getting the pump that I desire without it.

But if you hurting yourself use the machine and build up your strength

The thing is I was previously was knocking out 3 plates on each side. Can't even do 1 plate now without feeling pain in the right knee. I guess I'll try this out in the mean time.

Get your knee checked out. Google YouTube on how to strengthen your knees..like balancing off of one leg for an extended period of time.

Aside from seeing a doctor which you NEED to do. Look into some single leg stuff for a while

Touch down squats, single leg leg press, single leg Romanian db deadlifts


Make sure there's no imbalances messing with you.

If your knee hurts then work on your hamstrings. I recommend glute ham raises, Romanian deadlift, and dumbbell (or kettlebell) swings. Strong hamstrings keep your knees stable
