hey,
I initially started out with a high bar squat about 4 months ago, then changed to a low bar squat just to try it out, i found that i was getting sharp pains in my shoulders with the low bar squat so i changed back to the high bar squat.
When i was doing the low bar squat i was using a wide stance, and i have been reading that you are meant to do the high bar squat with a narrow stance. Would the purpose of this be just to make it more difficult? I find that with a wider stance i have greater balance and the squat is easier. With a narrow stance i find myself falling forwards when the weight is heavy and i am fatigued.
Also, I've found that my knees have been getting sore recently especially today after squatting with a wide stance, any thoughts to why this might be occuring?
thanks in advance.
It might seem a little silly, jump up and down a few times, where your feet land usually indicates the best position.
Some other points to consider;
Make sure your knee is travelling in the same direction your toes are pointing.
If your knees are coming together you have some weakness usually the adductors.
You must squat between your legs, not on top of.

Any recommendations on helping them get better faster?
I think its below the kneecap towards the inside of each leg.Under your knee cap as below where the tendon is or as under the knee cap as in inside the joint?

If it was tendinitis you would have pain when you run and jump, squat it is usually pretty easy to self diagnose. It is usually not debilitating just uncomfortable. From your description i would not think it is tendinitis which would be the best of a bad situation. I would really go to a physio as you could have a medial meniscus problem or ligament issues. I would say meniscus problem but only minor damage but either way it is something that will just get worse if you do not check it out properly.
