Most cases of knee pain when lifting are due to either mobility and/or stability problems in the lower body. In this video, Dr. Aaron Horschig walks you through how to address each of the following:
1) Ankle Mobility
2) Hip Internal Rotation
3) Knee Stability
4) Glute Coordination

_______________________________
While there may be one specific point in time at which the pain strikes, non-traumatic knee pain is usually the result of something that has been building for some time. The signs of injury are often present even before symptoms appear. For example, numerous research studies have found a connection between knee problems like patellofemoral pain syndrome, illiotibial band (ITB) syndrome, and even the development of osteoarthritis (OA) to movement problems such as excessive hip adduction (thigh moving towards the midline of the body) and internal rotation.
This means that while you may have experienced pain for the first time after a heavy squat workout last week, the cause of injury may have actually been building up to that point for a while. Therefore, the quality of your technique and the manner you load your body during training will always be the most important factor in whether you get stronger and find success or whether you fail to progress because of an injury.
If you think you’re dealing with patellar tendinopathy (which presents as a load intolerance rather than a movement problem), check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5fXd5FCS_0&t=146s

I don't have knee pain in my quads
U r the boss
Great content!! Hopefully it helps me fix my problems.
I have had recent right knee pain post squat workout like hours later. Doing these exercises I have uncovered that I need to do the box touch down squats and glute bridge. Thank you for sharing such helpful information.
For the Touchdown squats, how often should I be doing the 2-3×20? Can I do it daily?
Can you help me on knock nee
This guy is giving this kind of information for free,this is crazy. Today i'm doing cleans and front sqiats and my right knee was kiling me for few months now i did forts stretch (assisted airplane) and instantly feel changes in my knee. Even with emty bar my knee was hurring and now it went awesome almost no pain i'll do this stretch before every workout. Thank you so much this changed my mental state.
THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING
I can’t wait to try after getting these done at home. It’s so demoralising going to the gym want a decent leg day only for knee pain to stop me in my tracks
