What is a knee-buckler?

A knee-buckler is a squat so heavy that your knees start to cave inward under the strain — gym slang for a near-maximal grind.

Is knees buckling under a squat dangerous?

Knees caving in (valgus) under heavy load can raise injury risk, so a genuine knee-buckler is usually a sign the weight is at or past your limit.
