Feeling Depressed....Squats

Hey Guys,

I can say I've been training more effectively the past year, however, I never found myself doing squats as much as what I should have been doing. I tended to use the leg press, and I admit it, I didn't train legs nowhere near as much as what I should.

However, the past month has seen me totally sort my diet out for a bulk, and I have started to incorporate leg days, including squats.

The thing is, and I know it shouldn't be like this, I can bench more and deadlift more than I can squat, and it's doing my head in!

I have been using the smith machine to do my squats and not the squat rack, as when I squat, I sometimes feel a "clicking" on the outer part of my left knee. This occurs when i'm driving upwards and pushing.

At the moment, i'm only squatting 90KG.

Are there any tips you guys can give me, or do I jyst have to be persistant and maybe do squats two times a week?

Regards.
