I love the full body benefits of squats but I find my knees are liking them less and less these days.

I’m currently working a modified PPL, so a heavy off day.

LEGS

2x5, 1x5+ squat

3x8-12 Romanian Deadlift

3x8-12 leg press

3x8-12 leg curls

3x8-12 leg extensions

5x8-12 calf raises

I pretty much hate squats while I’m doing them. I think it’s cause they make my knees angry.

Is there something knee friendly I can replace squats with or alternate in occasionally?

    Generally speaking, without assessing you…add tke’s and Nordic hamstring curls to your routine during the first part.

    Move squats to the latter 3rd of your workout.

    Do that for 12 weeks and you should notice a difference.
