Hi all,
When I first started doing squats my knees were collapsing inwards. To fix it, I started doing all sorts of exercies to keep my knees out, which have helped a ton with lighter weights and through my warmup sets, but when I'm lifting in my work sets, my knees jsut really want to collapse, and no matter how much I focus on it I can't get me glutes to fire (at least that's how it feels).
What's my next steps? I'm thinking one of:
(i) see a physio and talk to them, though they always seem to treat with light weights and I'm not sure that helps my, work set issue;
(ii) lift lighter, cause I'm past my limit and compensating; or
(iii) just keep at it with the glute exercises, if the knee exercises are helping at all, they will eventually help totally.
Thanks
