Yesterday I tried squats for the first time. I loaded a really low weight (i think 40 pounds) onto the smith machine, just so I could get used to squatting form and motion.
After doing a set of 8 reps, i was experiencing a weird pain in my inner thigh, right near the crotch, towards the hamstring. this morning, that area is slightly sore, but the pain has mostly subsided. is this a side effect of attempting squats for the first time?
also, when pressing upward, i find that my legs wobble and my knees spread ******d. is this normal? or should i focus on keeping my knees pointed straight ahead.
