I’ve had crackly knees my entire life that sound even worse than what yours sound like on the video. People would always wince when I would get back up from a crouch, especially in a quiet crowded store 😂. Over 40 years I’ve had this issue and you just solved it for me when so many others had no idea what the hell was wrong with my knees!! Now I finally know the causes and can work on fixing the imbalances! Thank you so much!!
dude this is such an easy fix. alright read carefully. 1. im 99% certain you have weak/imbalanced glutes. DO - banded side walks, Bulgarian split squats barefooted with a forward lean. 2. strengthen muscles around the knee DO - Tibia Raises, calf raises, and dorsal stretches, and tibia stretches. 3. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE (sorry for the caps 😊) DO - walk around barefoot more, with focus on the outer parts of your feet, get your toes involved, this in turn wakes up the right walking muscles in your legs. It also fixes the "feet sinking inwards" like he pointed out. or just buy barefoot shoes/minimalist shoes
@@newt2120 thanks for the tips! I’m always barefoot at home and when training, but also got some Vivo’s recently to extend that to everywhere. My glutes are definitely weak/imbalanced and I’ve been working on fixing that, which may help some IT band issues as well.
@@andrewpeters5907 idk what it band is. im talking about resistance bands. if you noticed all the stuff i recommended is to help your lower body posture/kinetic chain. its usually a bunch of things causing you pain, its almost never just the knee. do those things and u'll recover in less than a month. also try walking barefoot or with minimalist shoes outside on grass or dirt, get the smaller muscles involved.
Bro I thought I was nuts, couldn't find anything like this on google, and then here you are with the exact same issue. Thank you so much my brother, I appreciate this immensely!
19 years old and pretty much every bone in my lower body cracks and pops when I move, I mean I could be walking and my toes and feet would crack and pop. I stand up from my chair and 9 times out of 10 my knees crack and pop. so thank you so much for this Pigmie.
@@asto6295 Don't worry about it. 'Crepitus', or joint noises, are made by healthy joints. They are supposed to crack! It doesn't signal dysfunction, in fact it's the opposite. When they stop cracking it signals arthritis and a closing of the joint space. If there is no pain, there is no problem.
Popping noises aside, I’ve had knee tracking issues for years and accidentally discovered this movement when working on different exercises and trying to stretch out tight muscles in the lower back and legs. Tucking in the glutes at the bottom and using those muscles around the knee to stabilize while slowly rising has paid dividends to help realign my problematic knee. Spending lots of time sitting at a desk can lead to these sorts of imbalances - especially if you’re not conscious of any muscles you may be keeping loose or tense in the process! I could’ve really used this simple video years back, but I’m glad content like this is out there for people to address their knee issues! As much as orthopedic surgeons would like you to believe (my doc included), surgery isn’t always the answer.
Blew my meniscus backflipping from a 6ft post and discovered knees over toes sled pulling method , this tip and sled pulling has really helped me ouT and my vertical is better than ever
I've been having these cracks since I was about 14... as I grew, I started to search for a cure online but I found 0 yes there was no pain, but I was really concerned cause as someone who enjoys motivating people to a fitness life... it's always embarrassing when I try to show them how to squat and they rather end up getting scared because of these loud popping noise they're hearing I started a new squat method just three days ago and realized the cracking almost didn't happen I wasn't sure why it worked by I decided to continue since it seemed to be working already so it's just magical how I came across your video today and you'd demystified a problem I've had for almost a decade (that's 10 years right) thanks man
2:35 I swear I have had slight pain/discomfort in my knees during squats recently. When I made these adjustments, TWO BIG POPS on the way down for the squat (one in each knee) and now I'm totally fine! That's insane! Thank you!!!
I needed this video. My knees have been cracking and popping for over 20 years, it started in my teens. There was no pain at first but the years have ten their toll on me. Will try this
Soon it will start inflaming if u don't correct your posture resulting in cartilage damage , your whole spine will start collapsing slowly and you'll die a painful death. Jk. Keep your chest out while u walk sit and stand + keep it inflated with air. You'll be gud
I had a similar problem and went to a very good physio (Polish national football team) and the stuff I heard as almost exactly the same as what this guys says - it's a GREAT sign for people watching this video!
Holy crap! I’ve had this issue for I-don’t-know-how-long and also very tight side muscles… never thought they could be connected. I just tried squatting like you showed and… no cracking!!! You’re my hero!
Dude, this is amazing. This just started happening to me and I was convinced I had a meniscus tear or arthritis or something nasty going on. No pain, but still freaked me out. Turns out it's just the patella getting out of whack. Going to do some foam rolling each day now, thanks!
I had a complicated outer meniscus tear and got parts of it removed through arthroscopy about 15 months ago (it's about 60% of its former thickness at the now thinnest point). I also do powerlifting and am currently working on a 200kg squat. My knee has been crunching like crazy since the operation, which makes sense with the scar tissue still being there. Rolling out my outer thigh with a foam roller immediately fixed the cracking/crunching. It was really distracting me during squatting, so this video was a great help to me!
So I had a non complicated miniscal tear that was operated on in April this year. Can you recommend how you transitioned back in to weight lifting? Like some kind of protocol/program, weight increase, reps, etc.
@@soldierside365 Sure, I can share my experience! I want to point out that this is anecdotal evidence, so take it with a grain of salt. I'm also not a doctor. For me, listening to my body (literally in the case of the knee popping) was and still is most important. The cracking/popping is fine, but you really should make sure to only train into it if the movements that are causing it don't hurt. I can still feel a scar running through my knee two years post-op, which I think is what is causing the cracking. It's gotten much better, but it takes forever to heal - just a heads up. This also means that I still have knee popping and cracking, but I've learned which sounds to ignore and which to respect. If it feels wrong, take a break and figure out what you're doing wrong - it could be too much weight, unfamiliar movements, or something else. For me, squatting with a narrow stance makes the cracking worse, so I turn my feet out more than I used to. I should have been doing that even before the injury, but I've only recently been taking my hip anatomy more into consideration when lifting and it's fixed a whole bunch of minor issue down my lower chain (knee popping included). Figuring out stuff like that can help with the knee, so keep your eyes out! Training-wise, stability drills, isolated exercises, and loads of mobility work are your best friends. It will take a while for your injured leg to catch up strength-wise, but that's where machines really come in clutch becuase they allow unilateral training with different weights for each side. In addition, I've been liking single leg squat variations. I had to start super basic with just heel touches, but am now back to repping out pistol squats. Also, make sure to warm up extensively before every workout. My knee does not like immobility now that it's been operated on and I notice it pinching more when I've been sitting all day before going to the gym. So keep it in motion and give it a couple extra minutes of attention before you start lifting. You should be able to train the same way as before, just make sure to go slow and give your body time to heal and regain its strength. My squat is stronger today than it ever was (getting close to 200kg at 87kg bodyweight), but it took me a year to get to pre-op numbers again. So don't sweat it and be careful. And listen to your physiotherapist, if you have one! If you don't, I strongly advise finding a good one! Hope you have a good recovery!
@@Spaccaspecchi I really appreciate the in depth response thank you! I’m actually going to screen shot it for reference. By comparison, I feel like I’m in a good place with it to start again. I had my operation, then went abroad where I haven’t had access to a gym so I’ve been really smashing callisthenics along side physio-prescribed rehab exercises, knees over toes lunges, and glutes and hamstrings. I’ve recently discovered that my glute medius, or the muscle that pulls the leg out like a dog taking a piss, is weak. I did some sets of it this morning in fact and my knee tracking was literally perfect so I’m gonna rep that out like it’s going out of fashion. I must say that it’s reassuring that your experience has actually been similar to mine despite your injury being initially worse than mine. It’s actually a bit of a confidence boost so thanks again for the detailed response!
Thanks a thousand man! Had same problem since i was a kid, now after 30 years found your video and i am really thankful for that! No physiotherapy helped like this, great! 🙏👏👏👍👍👍👍
I grew up as a gym kid, and had so much knee cracking, i remember being insecure about it. I've never had discomfort but as an adult I'm even more embarrassed. thank you for these videos!
My knees were achy since puberty, that is for about 30 years. Turned out that this was a mobility issue, just like the video said. Quad stretches and sitting in a squat position improved things A LOT. Before that squatting was very unpleasant - a clear indicator that mobility was too low. Strengthening the vastus medialis also helped a lot to keep the right muscular balance around the knee under higher load (running in my case).
My knees crack like that just about every time I stand up out of a chair, and obviously, while doing squats. Just followed your suggestion and it worked! No clicking or cracking!! Thanks!
Seriously, this really worked immediately. I had a horrible cracking in my left side, with pain. Cracking went away and now waiting for the pain to also go away or I will have to see a doctor if the continues. Thanks a ton🙏
Wow I never knew what the heck was going on. I would freak out my friends by making it make the crackling noise. I would just lightly contract my leg and open it up and BAM cracking. This fixed as soon as I tried it out. Thanks man! 🙏
Bro you are just amazing. Finally! I have always had this stupid issue where my knees are always out of place. Looks like a curved L and no it did hurt. I had problems turning my dam feet. I really would appreciate an arch video or if you ever had an issue like this. Blessings... BUT YOU GOTTA FOCUS!
I had this from the age of 15, for years I tried things like fish oil, crondrotin, glucosamine, msm. None of these supplements really made a difference. Then years later, completely unrelated to trying to treat this knee problem (and I also started to get an ache in my hip joints) I began taking a Vitamin D3 and K2 supplement, the results were amazing, my knee joints (and hip joints) are better than they were 30 years ago. I can squat down and I don't get any cracking in my knees at all.
Thank you . mine have improved greatly from exercise and kung fu. I am 54 . Hey I started doing slackline. ... Nothing crazy .. Just balancing and walking. However ...you would be great on slackline and could probably pull off tricks
I've had this issue and I had been trying to flex my glutes during squats and noticed less cracking. It's hard to isolate one muscle from the other though and when I consciously flex my adductors when squatting I'm also flexing my glutes. It does get rid of the noise though.
@@GopalSingh-sq2lr I haven’t found a solution other than focusing on engaging my glutes when I squat. Idk if there’s a point at which the glute and adductors will be strong enough that I don’t need to consciously think about it, but I haven’t reached that point yet if there is.
Thank you so much for this. I’m sitting and standing and when extending the leg I was getting some serious creaks and cracks to the point where I can’t bare hearing it so have to always have loud music on. No pain at all though. It worked for me so I will definitely be saving this and doing it regularly. Thanks again
That's very interesting - i had very similar symptoms, but my physiotherapist told me, that it was the other way around. So the inside of my legs were too tight and the outside too loose, so i do quite the opposite squat than you and focus on bringing my knees closer together to train the outsides and stretch/foam role the inside of the leg to release the tightness. Luckily i got the same results! Very instantaneous releave and after doing it for a while even more constant chance :3 Thanks for the video anyways, was very informative and well done!
This is not an issue of muscle weakness and each phsical exercise damage the joints...Thanks God I could treat myself, the entire body without zero exercise, but just with foods
Hello there, i am curious how did it help you because i think the same recovery and food are more important than exercise for this specific problem.Because i have problem with damaged tissue .
same issues, PT also gave me this tape to physically pull the knee cap back into place... when I actually use it, it is kind of wild how much it helps. went from leg pressing over 1000lbs to having to use a thigh master like a 60s house wife. aging ain't for the weak.
No fucking way. I've had this for years and years and literally just tried your first suggestion and it pretty much reduced the issue by 80 to 90 percent.
Wow. I got your description perfectly. And it worked instantly for me. Now I’m confused. I wear 600$ Orthodics and they did not align my knees??? I truly wonder about Orthodics now. Any comments on this. Thank you for this video truly 🙏
Im 15 and a cross country athlete who uses parkour to help train so naturally thats a lot of impact to the knee. I had knee pain but gave it good attention and the pain is gone, but they then started cracking and popping whenever i tried to squat. I started doing more flexibility and high rep hindu and sissy squats and the cracking and popping almost gone. Gonna try these too.
@@FocusedLucas Here I was thinking it was to show knee alignment 😂. Feel like we missed a treat lol. Side note - I've noticed people saying "A.B. Ductors" - is that a algorithm thing? Like, do the words a*ductor/a*duction get flagged or something? (Self censored, just in case)
@@alpachinko9154 I'm not sure but I think it's just to avoid confusion between ABductors and ADductors. When spoken out loud (especially when speaking quickly) they can sound almost identical.
I think most of my cracking comes from behind my knees so I don'tknow if it'sthe same. It's no coincidence this video found me. I didn't even search it out. Weird enough, I used to Bboy too, so it's probably the same issue. I thought it was related to the multiple sclerosis I've now been diagnosed with. Doctors even prescribed me muscle relaxers, but I see no difference from those. I guess I'll be trying things from this video.
Yeah I’d did this and I found out for me that my inner muscle was tighter and outer was loose(I think at least because I did the opposite of what he did I flexed the outside and relaxed the inner as best as I could
I had loud knee cracking in my 20s and 30s when squatted up to over twice my weight. It did not hurt then but was very concerning. Now at 51 my knees do have pain usually caused by running but I feel it most when walking on stairs.
@@sermuxify5415 Take the strain off them by strengthening your adductors, vastus medialis, psoas, iliacus, glutes and lower back. Tight muscles tend to be tight because of overcompensation.
I liked your video on the rice bucket forearm workout and I'm here for the knee popping. What part of the states are you from? I've been trying to figure your accent out 😂
I have had this since I was a child, always felt like a grandma because of it. made the alignment thing , NO CRACKING! Like omg 🤩🤩🤩 could anyone have told me this 20 years ago?!

Holy hell! This fixed it! I've had this issue since I was born!
Been looking for this information since I was 13! Thank you!
That’s amazing. Thank you for showing us the way 🙌
Thank you so much for this. I’m sitting and standing and when extending the leg I was getting some serious creaks and cracks to the point where I can’t bare hearing it so have to always have loud music on. No pain at all though. It worked for me so I will definitely be saving this and doing it regularly. Thanks again
That's very interesting - i had very similar symptoms, but my physiotherapist told me, that it was the other way around. So the inside of my legs were too tight and the outside too loose, so i do quite the opposite squat than you and focus on bringing my knees closer together to train the outsides and stretch/foam role the inside of the leg to release the tightness.
Luckily i got the same results! Very instantaneous releave and after doing it for a while even more constant chance :3
Thanks for the video anyways, was very informative and well done!
I tried it and it did instantly work. Cheers!!
Thanks this helped
Holy mole!!🎉, that quick fix did work !!
No noise ..
Ok this immediately worked, great video!
This actually worked 🔥👌🏾

This is not an issue of muscle weakness and each phsical exercise damage the joints...Thanks God I could treat myself, the entire body without zero exercise, but just with foods
Hello there, i am curious how did it help you because i think the same recovery and food are more important than exercise for this specific problem.Because i have problem with damaged tissue .
In your examples around 2:40 in you went deeper on the squat that had the crepitus lol
you just made me remember i had this problem for like a year and it was very annoying and it went away idk when i just forgot it happened
This video really helped finally
Great video, you are very well spoken
same issues, PT also gave me this tape to physically pull the knee cap back into place... when I actually use it, it is kind of wild how much it helps. went from leg pressing over 1000lbs to having to use a thigh master like a 60s house wife. aging ain't for the weak.
Wasn’t expecting this guy to just kill a flare real quick lol
Brilliant! This channel is fantastic!
No fucking way. I've had this for years and years and literally just tried your first suggestion and it pretty much reduced the issue by 80 to 90 percent.
Same. Now the task is to get 100% but how?
Wow. I got your description perfectly. And it worked instantly for me.
Now I’m confused. I wear 600$ Orthodics and they did not align my knees???
I truly wonder about Orthodics now.
Any comments on this.
Thank you for this video truly 🙏
Now I can do squats comfortably 🙏 Thanks mate
Im 15 and a cross country athlete who uses parkour to help train so naturally thats a lot of impact to the knee. I had knee pain but gave it good attention and the pain is gone, but they then started cracking and popping whenever i tried to squat. I started doing more flexibility and high rep hindu and sissy squats and the cracking and popping almost gone. Gonna try these too.
What type of equipment did u use or did u not use any?
@@massoff7742 all I used were a pair of adjustable dumbbells. Other than that it was bodyweight and balance exercises.
Bro I love how you edited the close ups to your legs when you were doing the squats lol Had me dying because it's so obvious why you did it 😂
It was way too revealing otherwise 😂
@@FocusedLucas Don't you have Instagram?
@@FocusedLucas Here I was thinking it was to show knee alignment 😂. Feel like we missed a treat lol.
Side note - I've noticed people saying "A.B. Ductors" - is that a algorithm thing?
Like, do the words a*ductor/a*duction get flagged or something? (Self censored, just in case)
@@mahbubahossain1094 He does
@@alpachinko9154 I'm not sure but I think it's just to avoid confusion between ABductors and ADductors. When spoken out loud (especially when speaking quickly) they can sound almost identical.
Man the thumbnail is just epic
Was so excited as I have crackly knees - tried squatting this way and even louder!😢
Only happens for a day or two after leg day...great video, thanks.
very helpful,
extremely informative,
This could also be a tell sign for Chondromalacia Patella.
Thanks for the video on how to fix it (for some)
This is really useful info. Thanks soooo much
I think most of my cracking comes from behind my knees so I don'tknow if it'sthe same. It's no coincidence this video found me. I didn't even search it out. Weird enough, I used to Bboy too, so it's probably the same issue. I thought it was related to the multiple sclerosis I've now been diagnosed with. Doctors even prescribed me muscle relaxers, but I see no difference from those. I guess I'll be trying things from this video.
Feet are the computer of body!! Great info alignment!!!!
Thanks for this, really helped figure out the issue.
The creaky old people knee sound. It means YA GETTIN OLD BRAH!
Great video. What about some resistance between your inner thigh work? Ball, foam roller, watermelon?
Yeah I’d did this and I found out for me that my inner muscle was tighter and outer was loose(I think at least because I did the opposite of what he did I flexed the outside and relaxed the inner as best as I could
Ok wow, just tried while watching and it works
I had loud knee cracking in my 20s and 30s when squatted up to over twice my weight. It did not hurt then but was very concerning. Now at 51 my knees do have pain usually caused by running but I feel it most when walking on stairs.
Foam rollers do NOT 'break up knots in the muscle', at least not for the IT band. The IT band is an atypical tendon, not a muscle.
so how do you loosen those muscles
@@sermuxify5415 Take the strain off them by strengthening your adductors, vastus medialis, psoas, iliacus, glutes and lower back. Tight muscles tend to be tight because of overcompensation.
I liked your video on the rice bucket forearm workout and I'm here for the knee popping. What part of the states are you from? I've been trying to figure your accent out 😂
Thanks...am a professional watermelon cracker ..your concern for our minute community is appreciated 🎉
I have had this since I was a child, always felt like a grandma because of it. made the alignment thing , NO CRACKING! Like omg 🤩🤩🤩 could anyone have told me this 20 years ago?!
