I have absolutely terrible knees and leg problems. when it comes

>>39604965
buy knee sleeves to prevent injury

This is also about my ego as lame as that sounds. I do squats, but have to do REALLY low weight. I use a knee brace but the pain is obviously still present when excising.
I have never used a compression sleeve, and I guess never though it would really make a difference

Stop being a pussy maybe?

Recently saw this video, by athlean-x, and he was saying to try box squats if you have knee pain. Use a bench to guide your form, ill try to find the video

Fuck off.

Not OP, but I played as an icehockey goalie for 15 years. That shit will do an number of your knees.
My knees crack LOUDLY every time I bend them now.

I too am looking for some advice for leg day as somebody with bad knees!

don't look for advice here. go to physio and he will tell you what you can and cannot do

Are you flexible enough? 90 degree hip flexion and all that jazz.

OP here, served with the paratroops in the Army for 7 years and played hockey as well..

My knees are trash.

I can get to about 45 degrees and then its pretty much a prayer past that in terms of squatting.

>>39604965
I swapped to low bar + following strict rippletits form, knees are now fine

sleeves ain't going to do shit if your problem is form or mobility.

But it's easier to spend a couple bucks instead of realizing you've probably been doing shit wrong or have bad mobility.

>>39604965
foam roll quads, hammies, calves and hips

mostly quads for relief. the rest so it doesnt come back

>>39604965
Rest for a month.
Ice your knees if they flare up.
Stretch and foam roll like hell.
I had some serious knee pain from basketball as a fat cunt and doing all of the above and starting very low weight helped tremendously. When you do come back to squatting try doing a really thorough warm up before and stretching after. I know how bad knee pain can be and I wish you good luck.

Lose weight

Not saying to sacrifice your gains but unnecessary fat can weigh on your knees tremendously.
