Thanks man. I am really getting worried with all that sounds. In some exercises i was able to get rid of it by adjusting my form, but in some cases it just simply wont go away. Although it doesnt cause any pain, it is still troublesome to hear. This may be a year old video but it is really reassuring. Ty
My collar bone used to pop a lot at the point above my sternum. I could feel it and it freaked me out. It was extremely off-putting, but there was never any pain. I started doing more controlled exercises, especially for the upper chest, and it eventually just went away completely. Absolutely nothing now.
Knee popping during squats my whole life until I really focused on form and tension. Rarely happens now. Shoulder pops during warmup arm circles...which has not really changed at all, unless I rotate my hand. Don’t know what’s up with that, but it doesn’t happen during any exercise, so I don’t worry about it too much.
I think you hit the nail on the head with this one. Can you talk about how we would identify problem areas that are causing the popping in a joint so they can be addressed?
yea imbalanced could be a very possible reason, but i myself have experienced popping/cracking mostly because of bad exercise form and improper muscle activation those are mine two probably most common reasons
I use to have constant popping in the outside my elbow during push ups - no pain, fortunately! but the cause of it was a lack of tension in my triceps, Delts and Upper back to a degree. These days, I actually use it as a gauge of how well my muscles are switched on during the move and it helps me to get more out of the exercise.
I have that problem in my left shoulder and my left arm is weaker too. Sometimes I feel pain( especially when I Do close grip chin ups) and sometimes it’s just the cracking noise.
Hamstrings!!!!!! try keeping your hamstrings tense as you squat, sort of like you're doing a hamstring curl on the way down. May help balance out the tension around the knees.
My knees mostly, mainly during pistol squats...good info though, I guess I should pay extra attention to proper warm, maybe warm up better...keep up the good work Matt, awesome videos
Omfg, this dude has been uploading vids on the exact things I'm concerned about on the exact day I'm concerned about them... My right knee pops when I do squats.
@@RedDeltaProject the fitness messiah noticed me T^T Is it weird that I don't have that issue with any other exercise though? It's legit just when I do squats, so weird. I've checked my formal million times but that right knee always pops.
My joints only started popping once I switched from the gym to suspension training and especially when I perform mobility exercises. All joints pop and crack. I've been researching the subject and not finding much helpful information on the internet. I thought maybe I was in worse shape than I thought before. I started taking fish oil supplements to help. While it hasn't changed the cracking and snapping, it has made my joints feel better after heavy chain training days. I'm grateful to finally have answers; yet, I'm bummed that it means I have full body imbalances. Guess I gotta keep grinding. (The progress not the joints, I hope.) Thanks for the great (and surprise) info!
You're more than welcome TheDamianvain17. My experience has also been that the difference between popping and not popping is very subtle and slight adjustments in technique. So if you have popping you're probably not all that imbalanced or off, just an extra millimeter here and there may be all you need.
@@RedDeltaProject Thanks Matt. I'm practicing with slightly different angles and finding some feel more comfortable than others. Perhaps, what works for some doesn't work for all, and I need to find the positions that allow me to move better and with less noise.
Shoulders (when warming up with rotating arms) and hips (during bar knee raises, but only on the way down). No pain, but especially the hips feel weird
The best techniques i’ve found for achy joints (crunchy or not) has been Super Joints by Pavel and Flexible Steele by Jon Engum! More movement is better than no movement 👍
I feel alot of popping in my shoulders. I know now for sure it's the lagging of my rear delts. But i'll hit them next time with a new exercise i just found on your channel ! 👌
At one moment, i was 13, doing wide pushups (the wrong way) with a backpack with a lot of books on it, the pain after was to me "sore" because my muscles were growing. Now, im 19, both shoulder pop when i rotate them with internal rotation, now im trying to do it right, and i see how FUCKING wrong i was doing those exercises, thanks to a lot of information given by people like you, thank you, wish my 13 old me had the information
@@lordknight137 keep your core tight, elbows tuck don1t flare them out, and DON1T internaly rotate your shoulders, i know when doing wide pushups we tend to rotate them a little, but keep your chest up, looking foward so you keep a good position.
It usually happens to me when I’m extending my legs during bicycle crunch’s my hip always cracks or when I’m bench pressing sometimes my shoulder does craccs it’s doesn’t necessarily hurt but it does feel sore afterwards
It's probably not so much from an imbalance but a misalignment somewhere. Maybe your'e shoulders are a bit protracted when you shrug. Try pulling them back a bit more and see if that helps
What about knees staffing when you extend them consistently? I also have all of my joints pretty much snapping or popping! Just breathing it cracks my back
Hey Matt. Just to clarify, so unlike upper body exercises where you want to externally rotate the shoulders,with lower body exercises such as squats and lunges it does not matter if you internally or externally rotate the hips and legs? Is that correct? Thank you for your input and great information
Hey Matt. If I habitually externally rotate, I should concentrate on internally rotating my legs. It sounds like i am fighting the way my body wants to move and I can get hurt. Or am I thinking all wrong? I also thought your knee collapsing in during squats is bad for your knees. Is that true?
It depends on which direction you may habitually move. I habitually externally rotate esp. on my right leg so I need to make sure I focus on internal rotation. But do the opposite if you habitually internally rotate.
I used to have a similar deal until I started practicing joint circles on a daily basis to keep the joints "oiled". Things can get quite stiff very quickly with even a full day of not using the joints through a big range of motion.
Is it your chest, or your thoracic spine? Either way, look to see if you're hunching your shoulders at the bottom of your reps or reaching your face toward the floor. That may b the cause
@@RedDeltaProject i feel like my spine has something to do with it. I used to load 2 trailers for a year at my job and it’s all heavy lifting. I went to a chiropractor and got my back fixed and then had to go back to work the next day because of terrible management
Try warming up with a set of hamstring curls or hip bridges beforehand. Just something to fire up those hamstrings as they are often underworked and not stabilizing the knee enough during squats. Imagine you're doing a hamstring curl as you get down into each squat to keep those muscles tense.
My shoulders like to pop when doing push-ups, but not during dips or overhead presses. Not sure what's up with that. But I found that if I tuck in my elbows and lift my head up a bit when doing push-ups, the popping goes away. So maybe it's just bad form?
I would guess it's more about keeping your shoulders down or depressed. OHP and dips can help you pack your shoulders down and back naturally but it's a bit trickier with push-ups. Try doing your push-ups like you're pressing your shoulders away from your ears and see if that helps.
When i extend my left arm or when i do pushups ,my left elbow pop continuously without pain ,i have experienced that for more than 1 year and a half from now ,what is my problem and how to fix it and it is dangerous ?
Bro,I have a cracking sound in my right elbow as i go down and up in pushups,but i dont hear/feel it while doing pullups.What does that mean?Even if i do right hand pullups i do not feel them.Only while doing HSPU And PU.
so im getting it in my elbows when i lift weights, i literally just started this week so im guessing its all gucci and just focus on the muscle around my elbow?
Also pay attention to your back too. A lot of the support for the shoulder, elbow and writ joints come form keeping the shoulders "packed" and stabilizing your shoulder blades. it's amazing how much the traps can help with sore elbow.
Everytime I pivot even while standing my knees crack and creek have you any suggestions is it worth seeing a PT no pain but its a constant all day thing
Always good to get it checked out just to make sure there's nothing going on that's going to cause issues later on. Movement popping is not that big a deal but popping under rotation does seem a little scetchy
please help me when I do pseudo planche push ups elbows near to the body, I feel clicking without a sound in my right shoulder Note that I have rotator cuff hypermobility I can do 10 pull ups but not wide grip, I have the same problem
@@RedDeltaProject thanks I will try depressing them But I have tightness in the subclavius and I'm trying to stretch it without pain by doing close grip passive hang Perhaps it's not a good idea because I couldn't find results in addition it may be a bad way, it could lead to more mobility in the rotator cuff As I'm trying hard to tighten it, I tried after that to do wide grip passive hang by releasing my weight slowly If you have any suggestions I wish you tell me and thanks again Sorry for my bad English

Wow exactly what I am having on my right shoulder. No pain but a popping sound. Thanks Matt for the info.
Right knee when doing lunges
When I do 40 pushups, my wrist, elbow, collar bone always cracks or clicks.
But when I squat, it literally became sore and hurt, eventually went away
when i pushups my left hand elbow cracks or clicks too i can hear that sound, but not hurt.same here bro

Thanks for the rec, Phil! It is a great book as I read it years ago but it's time to revisit it.
Only when im doing barbell overhead presses
Awesome explanation! Thanks a lot.
I have some knee popping/cracking during squats. I think its from weak quads, but its getting better.
back, rear delt, posterior chain conditioning and general posture improvement sure help lot with clicking but sometimes it's unavoidable - genetics.
Also, don't forget about structural issues that sometimes develop too within the joints.
I feel alot of popping in my shoulders. I know now for sure it's the lagging of my rear delts. But i'll hit them next time with a new exercise i just found on your channel ! 👌
I had a strong popping sound in my left shoulder too, strengthening up that back will do wonders for you.

How do you cure these imbalances.
My collarbone cracks when I shrug.
It's probably not so much from an imbalance but a misalignment somewhere. Maybe your'e shoulders are a bit protracted when you shrug. Try pulling them back a bit more and see if that helps
My left hip pops anytime I warm up with external rotation hip circles.
What about knees staffing when you extend them consistently? I also have all of my joints pretty much snapping or popping! Just breathing it cracks my back
My hips and love handles pop a lot
When I do push-ups both my elbows and shoulders pop is that something to worry about
It's not bad, but it may be a sign that somthing is a bit out of alignment. Keeping the shoulders depressed may help
When I did side plank twists, I cracked my back and I felt like I could fly
My chest pops i during push ups. I feel like im gonna break my shit.
Im trying to work out my obliques and a place near my hips/butt (maybe top of the thigh) bone keeps making a deep low pop
Yeah my elbows pop with every push up 😂
A lot of my bones are cracking but it is satisfying
So is cracking bad when doing different exercises?
Mine pops but it doesn't hurt
This happen to me but on my left leg only n idk how to fix it
Hey Matt. Just to clarify, so unlike upper body exercises where you want to externally rotate the shoulders,with lower body exercises such as squats and lunges it does not matter if you internally or externally rotate the hips and legs? Is that correct? Thank you for your input and great information
It depends on if you naturally rotate one way or the other. I tend to be a bit bo-legged so I need to internally rotate my legs inward.
sir mu left forearm pops when i move it from right to left whats that
My elbow pops when I do push ups :( what do I do to fix it
More chest and triceps tension. Try practicing tensing up your triceps while holding the bottom of the push up position for 15s as a warm up
@@RedDeltaProject :)
Every time i do a pushup my shoulder and elbows pop like a bag of popcorn , should i not keep doong them?
Best to figure out why they are popping, may be due to the elbows flaring out as you push yourself up
My back pop alot
Hey Matt. During standing twists,should you twist from above the waist with the hips staying stationary or do you rotate the hips as well?
You can do either, I like to let the full body twist to get the benefit along the whole body myself.
My right wrist pops A LOT and I know it's not bad but it's sooo annoying and it doesn't feel good 😂
Try practicing wrist circles on a daily basis. That may help.
Hey Matt. If I habitually externally rotate, I should concentrate on internally rotating my legs. It sounds like i am fighting the way my body wants to move and I can get hurt. Or am I thinking all wrong? I also thought your knee collapsing in during squats is bad for your knees. Is that true?
Internal rotation is not the same as collapsing inward. In fact, slight internal rotation is key for developing the hips that prevent such a motion.
Hey Matt. During squat and lunges is it better to internally or externally rotate your legs?
It depends on which direction you may habitually move. I habitually externally rotate esp. on my right leg so I need to make sure I focus on internal rotation. But do the opposite if you habitually internally rotate.
