Hey All.
A couple weeks ago I noticed some pain in my right knee after a moderately heavy squat day. I have NEVER has any issues with my knees, so given the pain went away by my next training session I chalked it up as an anomaly. Yesterday I squatted again. Everything felt just fine during my session (and I even worked up to a heavy final set up 395 x 7 on my last set). Still felt fine for a good half hour after my session, but then I noticed the same kind of knee pain as before again so wondering what it going on. It it maybe just overuse? Should I tone it down on the volume of heavy back squats for a while? Just seems weird that I feel fine during the session but then it's a delayed onset of the pain (which isn't excruciating or anything, just an achy sensation under and around my patella just letting me know it's there).
