Do you think it's possible to build legs without squats? Knees hurt for about 3 days afterward so thinking about nixing squats. (Not bodybuilding just trying to look jacked in my 40s! 😂)
Obviously my form is probably the issue (as I'm tall) but if you think it's pretty important to include them I may keep with light weight and play with my angles 🤷🏻♂️
Leg press, leg extensions, leg curls, light rdls seem to be the least bothersome to the knees but not sure if that's enough.
Well that didn't age well.... just saw content that you said "YES" squats are necessary! 😬
I cut out squats years ago. Bad back. Leg press, hacks (if your gym has one) leg extensions and weighted step ups. Mule kicks and lunges also work. That being said, I wish I could still squat.
Yes, there are so many vaiations today then the standard squat bro... Do I prefer them? YES
But if you can't what can you do that does not bother ur knees... let me know.
I do squat, but I really do not go heavy.
