My knees crack all the time. Its usually just air in the joints being released that makes that sound. As long as its not painful, you should be ok.

Also, maybe pick a joint supplement. But I agree if you are putting pressure on your tendons to move against its range of motion, you're going to cause your patella to move around and hear a "popping" sound. Glad you corrected your stance don't need any injuries.

I like to have my toes pointing out about 10 degrees and I put 5lb disc weights under my heels in order to help me keep the weight in my feet even since I have a tendency to lean back. For some people it helps a lot but it's not for everyone.

My knees pop just going up the stairs. I have never done ATG squats, but going to try them this coming week as prescribed by a trainer at the gym. He said i should see amazing changes in just a few weeks. Got the size on the quads, just need to condition them more.
