Squating?
is squating at my age bad for growth and health of my knees? i am 14 and i just recoverd from oshgood schlotters...a thing where you grow and you push yourself to hard, and the tissue on your knees starts to slowly tear off...i squated before i got oshgood and it seemed fine, but i must know if i can squat because i bench more weight than i squat...i need to know the following: is it healthy to squat at this age, and if it ok to squat after recovering from oshgood schlatters.
thank you

With perfect form it should be alright Osgood-Schlatter's occurs when you repeatedly/ vigorous use your quads I think if you are serious about gaining size, you should reduce what ever it is in your lifestyle that caused this injury.
If the pain has completely stopped give squats a go although do not try to go too heavy too soon. If the pain ever returns stop squatting immediately, let the pain be your 'guide'.

seek medical advice from your doctor before starting any physical exercise program
