Rice Krispies?

Although it made me thnk to start on some extra calcium and fish oils to my diet. -------------- THE NATURAL WAY IS THE ONLY TRUE PATH TO SUCCESS, PRIDE, JOY, HAPPINESS, LONG TERM FULFILLMENT AND SELF-ESTEEM!

BUT I DON'T CLICK OR CREAK UNTIL I'M ON THE SOFA, TRYING TO GET UP AS IF I WAS NINETY NINE YEARS OLD? It's age, wear and tear. Clicks and creaks included, as long as you can squat with no pain and more than your neighbour, worry not.. I'm a believer in the supplement Glucosamine 1000mg for joint lubrication- I used to have a dodgy left elbow on tricep press work, but now I'm like a man of 21 again.

Not just during squats, but anytime I sat down or squated down. It also started to just collapse on me. I 've given it some time off, and it seems to be better. Haven't had any problem in a couple of weeks. I"ve backed off on the weight - not like I used a lot - starting back slowly and no problems so far. In my case it may have been a side effect of some medication i've been on. I've only got a few more days on it, so we'll see if that helps. I hope that's all it is anyway... Thanks for the input. CJ
