Message: [QUOTE="texascpa, post: 2985716, member: 468"] Thanks, but I won't stop. Nothing wrong with squats if done correctly. My knee issue wasn't a result of squats just degeneration. If nothing else squats help me strengthen my muscles which help stabilize my knees, allow me to do things I wouldn't be able to do. I will never stop. Nor have my ortho docs recommended I stop. One thing I have stopped is leg extensions because they do place an inordinate amount of stress on the joint. BTW, I also deadlift...with a history of lower back issues. My back has never been better or stronger once I focused on correct deadlift mechanics - pulling up the shins rather than away from the body. Oh, and stopped doing situps. I do agree with you on the running. Irks me to no end that my Fortune 500 company is promoting a Couch to 5K the last couple months - part of their promoting wellness...to mostly out of shape fat, older people. Absolutely stupid.
