Project: Anything Is Possible

[L33SH]

Yes they do, I have about a shoulder width stance also.

My understanding was always that the knees come in when you're approaching your weight limit. You might have to do some assistance exercises or maybe some band work to help you at the problem point.

When do your knees start turning in? Coming up or going down?

I'm not savvy enough on squat mechanics to suggest which muscle you want to target, Rev would have a better idea, but I'm thinking anterior adductor (inner thigh) and ITB (outer quad) stability could be a problem?

I've used brackets just in case my terminology is wrong

[L33SH]

Yeah it started doing it at 50kg last night which isn't that heavy for me, but yeah the 60kg was bad it was making my whole body lean to the left as I was coming up.

My knee is fine going down, it's as I come back up that it bends in and it's only the right knee, so therefore it's my left leg predominantly the adductor that is weak?

I was wondering if just doing leg extension, leg curls and lunges on the left leg would help at all

[Birds]

Left leg/glute is weaker than the right; right knee is coming in to save the day and you're shifting the weight over the right leg when the weight gets too heavy for the left to push it's share.

It's a mobility issue that needs to be trained out of the CNS, not unlike a dominant arm during bench press but more exacerbated. Your adductors aren't weak, you just don't know how to use them (or moreso, not use them) to keep the right leg from coming in to save the day when "shit hits the fan" and the left leg/glute can't drive anymore.

[No Crust Racing]

Interesting. Stuff, I'd say the right is compensating for the left.

EDIT: Birds just posted the same thing.

Anyway, you can do single leg work to bring the left up to par.

I had to do that back in the day of trying to get bench weight up. Trained left side to stop right compensating.

[Birds]

That or stick to a weight both legs can comfortably drive with and slowly increase weight until they are synchronized.

If used to do it on 40kg but now that she has surpassed that (making left leg stronger), it doesn't. It wasn't doing it on 50 recently but I'd say muscle tiredness is likely responsible for this particular incident.

[No Crust Racing]

That's right, this was a 40kg issue a while back wasn't it?

Whatever you do take it slow and avoid ending up with a prolapsed disc like me

Couldn't just say thanks, had to play it down.

Just accept the damn compliment

I did 25 reps of squat with a massive 25kgs on the weight belt last night and my back did not explode, awww yeah.
