Knee Poping

[Kcm3000]

My Left knee pops and shifts slightly when i bend it during squats lunges or leg press. There is no pain just the movement. has anyone else had a similar problem. idk if one of my adductor or abductor muscles is slackin or if its a hammstring... any feedback would be great i would like to start goin heavier on the squats and such. but i fear for a dislocated knee cap which would suck.

Try doing leg extensions but only through the last 45 degrees of range. As you do these pull your toes up towards your shins. Add stiff leg deadlifts to your leg day if not already doing these. But do the extensions prior to squats to tension the quads and the tibialis anterior. Be very careful when squatting and do not push your knees in towards each other as you push out of the bottom position. Do not use and overly wide stance when squatting, shoulder width or slightly narrower is fine.
