Latley i have had pain in the knees when doing squats..the wierd part is that one i first warm up the ache like crazy..then when i start lifting heavy the pain goes away.....warm up sucks...but afterwards for the remainder of the sets...i feel great?? why??

How old are you? Do you stretch before you lift? I usually ride the bike for about 10 min. and stretch prior to sqats. The first 2 sets are usually a little painful.

Once your knees start working it produces a natural lubrication. In retrospect, if your knees are cold, no lub and bone and tissue are rubbing abrasively together. I have to do the stair climber for 5 min before I start any leg workouts or else it kills me.

p.s. And then there's deca.
