    It’s not unusual to hear a click or pop from your knee when working out, or during everyday tasks. And although this feeling isn’t necessarily painful, it’s reasonable to be curious or concerned as to why its happening and if the click is potentially dangerous or not.
    In this video, A.J. explains why your knee clicks when you exercise (especially squatting) and how serious this is from a scientific perspective.

      Mine have been clicking for at least 25 years. I also had a large bone spur on my right knee. My sister (retired pharmacist) suggested taking magnesium. My bone spur actually shrank after taking it. The clicking comes and goes. There is no pain. At 65 and actively working in home improvement I can't complain too much.

    Ok, so my knees have been clicking every time I go a little over 90 degrees when I squat and come back up. This has been happening for about three years now.

You should only be concerned if it hurts when they click. There is no reason at all to think that pain will develop down the line.

    ACE certified professional trainer since 2004. Had this all my life too, squats. It gets worse in relation to how sedentary your lifestyle is. Warm up your knees with a walk or some knee raises before your sets. The more you exercise your leg and the joint, the better it will feel. Get some hyaluronic acid as well, that's been ESSENTIAL in maintaining joint and connective tissue health for me.

      How often can you crack your knuckles? It's the same mechanism for the "harmless" variety, although I'd guess it'd be less often since the knee is bigger. Basically, it it pops once when moved, and then doesn't pop again for a number of hours, it's likely the cavitation version.

    i used to run several mi/day, but circumstances forced me to quit. Never had any problems. Later, when i did air squats my left knee clicks, but no pain. i found out, by chance, after a few days of thigh exercises, the clicking stopped. My conclusion: my knee was possessed and exercise was a form of exorcism.

    I swear my phone is listening and it heard the clicking everytime I get up and was probably annoyed so it decided to recommend this to me.

    YO! I've always had this problem. I just did 2 squats, and a pop on the second, I stretched my quads a little and the pop was gone instantly. Now I know, thank you.

    Thank you my dude, as far as I can remember, I've always dealt with this pretty much my whole life (even if I'm only 29), my right knee always click and it's always with this one that I feel pain (and felt in the past too) if I'm doing bad movements to quick (like squating of running without warmup, even with only bodyweight). I'll try your recomendation then.
    Strangely, last year when I really had strong (AF) legs by climbing 50m of stairs twice a day (or more) during work, I litteraly had no problem anymore. I could squat non-stop as fast as I can until failure without having to worry anymore. But I lost this strength today so it's not the case anymore, I really need to start training again.
