Heh I noticed something else while training as a first. When I do my hindu squas, as I come up I hear a crakling sound coming from the top side of my lega little above my knees. Is this a bad thing? It doesnt hurt or prohibit me from doing anything, it's just strange.

No, I'm 12 and it happends to my knees.

Assuming there's no cartilage problem, the most likely cause is insufficient joint fluid.

It can be a number of things....it isn't best to assume the worst...providing you hadn't had any injuries to you knees....this is totally normal for someone who hasn't done the sqauts in a long time....(liken this to an old door that you haven't used in a long time.....it creaks at first....until you oil it)....eventually the chemical will liquify and lubricate the knee joint more...if you continue to do the squats on a regulare basis

Had this discussion with a doctor a while he back. He said that all of those cracking and popping sounds are the movement of fluid in the joint capsule. A bit of reading on my own tells me that joints like knees,elbows and knuckles are "Synovial" joints". which are enclosed with a membrane capsule full of fluid. (synovial fluid) This fluid lubricates the joint and is displaced a bit by certain movements which causes the popping sound. K-

Is true. If you feel its doing bad see a sports doc.
