Legs with bad knees

Who else has some what bad knees?

Over the course of years of abuse and stupidity my knees are finally catching up to me.

What do you guys do for quads?

Need advice.

I take that glucosamine chondroitin pills. Seems to help a bit. And I do about seven sets of progressively heavier leg extensions as a warmup before hitting the leg press machine. I dont squat without wrapping and starting really light. I do think that nandrolone helps a bit, and I think dball helps a bit as well.

akajavman1 is on a distinguished road
Hacks seem to keep pressure off of mine with a higher foot placement so superset them with leg extensions and pendulum squats also keep pressure off with proper foot placement.

Let extensions are bad for certain knee issues. If I use the. I add a light band and it seems to do something g that, even though it’s adding resistance to the weight, my knees suddenly dont mind the machine.

I’ve leArned to work legs hard by adding slow rep decentric movements (like 5-6 sec), static holds in the hole, and quarter reps in the hole, often all theee In every rep of every set of squats. Also not locking you’re knees out at the top which means tension is never released on the quads. Throw these four things into a rep and a 225 squat for 12 becomes as effective for muscle building as 335 or more for 12. That way muscles are getting destroyed without destroying bones, ligaments and tendons. Think mountain dog kind of methods.

You can do similar things on leg press machine but it’s not the same.

Belt squats are also my friend.

DB walking lunges can be effective if you do em right.

Finishing with some BW sissy squats have brought my sweeps more than they used to be.

D is right. Lighter weight, higher reps, slow reverse and squeeze at the peak. But bad knees are bad knees. Welcome to the old fart club.
