Is there some post squat massage I should be doing or is the 90 year old shuffle normal? I usually warm up with an empty bar and gradually move up the weights in 20kg increments doing sets of 5 to my work set. I don't wrap my knees. http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/simpsons/images/c/cc/HatB_...

Hamstrings feel activated. Member 1107, 6964 posts SQ 220, BP 152.5, DL 252.5 625.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq	I think you must have technique issues mate. You are 105kg bodyweight but only squat 125kg. I doubt it's the squats doing any knee damage unless your technique is woeful.

Or at least use a bar and sit on a bench, roll the bar down your quads one leg at the time. Also, be very strict about where you place the pressure on your feet when squatting. Weight should be mostly on your heels and outside of your foot - not on your toes.
