[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like it's the patella tendon or referred to as "jumper's knee" resulting from a leg imbalance.  Is your knees caving in on the descent, if so try "knees out."  Your calves or IT band might be tight on that side as well.

If the pain persists lay off the back squats for 2 weeks and try doing goblet squats with dumbells or kettlebells.

Going below parallel shouldn't be a factor, there are many benefits of squating deep or ass to grass (ATG) [/quote]

OP here. thanks for this advice.

I don't think my knees are caving in, but it is definitely something i need to pay attention to next time.

After I felt pain the other day I finished the rest of my workout, minus the squats. Then I did a few goblet squats with a 25lb KB to test if it was squats in general or just abck squats,  and it hurt a little, likely because I already causes so much pain whan i did the few back squats I did, but still did not hurt nearly as bad as it did with back squats.
