knee pain during hacks

[rks1969]

everytime I do hacks my knees feel like they'll fall apart if I go heavy . I currently get up to 4 plates @ 4 reps on my 5th set.Any suggestions?

dont go so heavy,i use hacks with light

wt.and my rep range is 12-15.also make sure your form is correct.if your knees are sore after changing things around then dont them..

Some people have a problem with the hack and Knee's, you may be one of them, go with what Tank said, also have you tried regular squats?

Like Orange said if it hurts don't do it, or at least try going lighter. I cannot go heavy on hacks either, it bothers my knees.

Thanks everyone!!Maybe it's just a head thing with the weight I want to use.
