Stop doing this on your reverse lunges. It's fucking up your knees. Most people try to keep their chest up and don't take a far enough step back so that on the way down, you're putting a lot of pressure on your knee. So instead, get a slight lean forward in your torso, take a bigger step back, and now when you go down, you'll put more stress on your glute and less stress on your knee.
