Knees are complicated joints.
"My knees hurt" is hardly informative-- sore, pinch, centralized, long lasting, new,...?
You need an exam.

Form isn't everything.

Knees, just like joints, depend a lot on how they are contructed genetically.
If you have bad luck regarding them, then they won't allow you to squat heavy without breaking really fast.
Nothing you change so with form.

I have pain in both of my hip joints when squatting

this is my detailed life story:
>doc diagnosed me years ago with two flat feet and gave me insoles
>as squat weight increased I noticed a shift to the right side
>doc says left leg is 1.3cm too short which is a lot
>heard from a Veeky Forumsizen klokov squats with one foot slightly ahead
>tried this, asymmetry disappeared
>got new insoles with +0.8cm (wich is the highest they give you) for left leg
>still have to squat like klokov to avoid asymmetry
>hip pain occurs first left, then right too
>less pain when I don't shove my knees out
>can't reach proper depth without it though
pain is not bad enough to quit squatting yet but it's getting worse. pls help just give me some ideas

The front of my heels hurt for a while when standing after waking up. The rest of the day though they're fine unless I press the area really hard. Do I need to change the shoes I use when lifting?

Lately I've been having a pretty painful sharp pain on my forearm whenever I pick up or put down something heavy (sometimes even when I'm not even doing anything). Anyone knows what it is?

Got a vaccine in my left shoulder and cant do any upper body workouts for 2 days. What should i do?

So after 2 years I finally bought a proper fitness book and now i'm trying to start proper low bar squatting.
Yesterday I went with a friend so he would check my form and he told me, that everytime I get close to getting parallel i loose my straight back.

He says it is mostly due to not being flexible enough, but I'm not sure.

What could be the issues that I can work on so I can squat with proper depth? Knees out or something and just focus on stretching?

Thanks in advance.

Is there rule of thumb as to how much sugar I can eat in one day? I generally try to avoid sugary stuff, but even then a lot of foods have some sugar, so I doubt 0 grams a day is a reasonable goal.

I eat a shit ton of bread and I always hear bad things about gluten and CD.
I'm also a terrible cook.
