Squat problem.

[SeanHolmz]

Everytime I squat my right knee buckles inward toward my left leg. The heavier I go the more so it buckles in. I seem to have no control over this. What do I do?

Focus on "spreading the floor" with your feet

Press your knees out as you rise

work on your adductors in the mean time

oh and you might try widening your stance and pointing your toes out at about 15-30 degrees

...and abductors. That's what's holding them in the spread position once the adductors are flexible enough to get them there.

 

[SeanHolmz]

how do I workd abductors and adductors?

there are ab/adductor machines in almost any commercial gym. Also you can use the 3-way hip machine. I drag a sled stiff legged and sideways. Also you could use bands around your knees, or use the ankle attachment on a cable crossover machine.

All good suggestions.

You can also push and pull plates on the ground, laterally, with your feet.
