Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

I was getting this in my heavy squat sets. I started wearing neoprene knee sleeves (Rehband) and warming up for 3-4 minutes on the air bike before beginning a leg workout and it seems to help a lot. I can't say I never feel it but I can usually push through it.

I get that too sometimes. PT said it's a fat pad impingement. When I do high volume squats and get tired I have a tendency to shoot my hips forward, which puts my knees in a bad spot. Really only happens on bodyweight it really light squats where were doing really high volume in CF. Takes a week of laying off to calm down

If you are pushing through any pain you are likely doing further damage you will pay for worse eventually. You guys likely have weak or fatigued glutes or have a muscular imbalance where the lateral quads are much stronger and more active than the medial portion. You need to correct this or it will only get worse.
