Leg extensions to me are far worse than anything squat related as far as causing knee issues. I stopped doing them years ago as my knees were always killing me and never get knee pain now.So as someone who can get knee pain on basically anything, something that does serve me well an old bodybuilder told me once was to always focus on pushing through my heels on machines like legpress - regardless of foot placement or intended emphasis. It isn’t a cure-all, but damn if it didn’t noticeably help.
Also, consider ditching the 135x20 rep pump sets of squats for some other pump movement, or Dogg Crapp-style weighted stretches if the knee tolerates them better perhaps. 135 is absolutely too light for you to cause any kind of stress adaptation, and there are other probably knee-friendlier moves to get a pump. You would save 60 reps on your knees of squats.
Idk, just ideas! Knees are always something I have to work with, or around.
Yeah I can’t touch leg extensions. Much rather do a TKE with a heavy band choked to a rack for volume quad isolation.Leg extensions to me are far worse than anything squat related as far as causing knee issues.

Thanks, guys! I'm just rough drafting it in here and making edits. I'll post the finalized version tonight in the new threadI dig it
My friend who is strong af swears by sled pushes. He stacks a bunch of weight and then has his brother sit on top of it too. Says it helped his leg development and conditioning tremendously.So as someone who can get knee pain on basically anything, something that does serve me well an old bodybuilder told me once was to always focus on pushing through my heels on machines like legpress - regardless of foot placement or intended emphasis.

Josh Bryant said when he was getting Branch Warren ready for his big comeback, they didn’t do any squatting - it was all heavy-ass sled work for primary leg development, and his legs were freaky as ever.My friend who is strong af swears by sled pushes.

Also he is a big fan of sandbags.
