LOL.. I posted the question last night as the board went down....

I made a PR of 325 in the full squat last night, but as I was pushing through the sticking point my knees moved in. What causes this, and what can I do to prevent this buckling? Thanks.

This is an indicator that there is a weakness in the hips. When I get really heavy (400lbs +) this happens to me as well. To rectify this weakness, I personally recommend box squats and other hip work.

Use the hip machine that all the women sit on.

Thanks Louden, I'll give the box squats a try

Wait...

That buckling of knees is often caused by a weak VMO. Use this handy self-test to see if that's the case:
