Oh, no. Not from squatting. My knees hurt from Wide Receivers cracking back on me in high school back when it was legal to cut you in the open field. Of course, I would always get them back somehow…
So, no. I’m trying to think of when my knees bark, but it is usually after doing something stupid that I’m not used to…like dancing at a wedding.

I think you miss interpreted what I was getting at. Up until the last 6 months I was actively competing in Olypmic lifting, actually made it to Collegiate Nationals twice(as if that really means anything). So I do squat deep. I certainly don’t have any problems getting “ass to grass” as they say or with the door knob test. (I’ve read that article several times incidentally.)
Now, I tore some cartilage in my knee about 6 months ago and just got it repaired. Saturday for the first time I squatted again, and yes I squatted olympic style.
However, I asked you the question because while I have had sore knees, I have never had painful knees, and goes right up until the day I tore the cartilage. So I guess I was wondering if you as a deep squatter had ever had knee issues, and if you didn’t I thought maybe you did some sort of “prehab” for them.
Anyways, sorry I wasn’t clear in what I was asking. And thanks again,
