1 legged RDLs - knee pain @ new weight - tracking?

anemoneprose

I'm now using a 45-lb kettlebell, doing 3 sets of 15/leg. This movement's never bothered me (is a favorite), but I know have a bit of anterior knee pain on the descent.

I try to keep my shins straight, but obviously the knee`s projecting a bit, to maybe over the midfoot. Standing foot is slightly flared, and the knee`s moving in a slightly inward direction.

Can/should I try to correct this pattern? How much can knee tracking (if that's what the prob is) be improved, *really*?

Thanks for any replies.

Any ideas?

The glutes/hamstrings play a pretty big part in knee tracking and stability.

Do some rear foot elevated split squats, hip thrusts and ease up on the weights if the pain continues.
