I used knee raps for years, never touch them now, I think provided we're not talking extreme weights you're much better off warming up and performing strict steady reps. one of the main things is to not move the knees laterally when performing the lift.

Another reason I always start with leg extensions...

My aim to to be able to squat low and deep, for reps with a decent weight in a strict controlled fashion.

I've built up the muscles around my knees, I just need to start now adding more flexability to them and improving the ligaments.

Before now I don't think there was any way I could go ATG/Deep/Whatever for fear of them getting goosed.

Knee joints are quite dry at the moment - better up my Glucosamine/CLO dosage.

Knees having been aching more since I've been doing those Leg Extensions - guessing its the different stimulus making itself known

New gym is on the 8th floor... Next time I'll be taking the lift down stairs PMSL

So what if you don't squat deep, it is not going to hold you back in any way, in fact there are some who are against squating deep. A lot of people say stopping before your legs hit is not good cos 1) they can bounce off the calfs 2) you got more chance of injury.

Now ill possibly get slated for saying that, however im just saying don't beat yourself up about it. Keep it simple mate.

Think I said this somewhere before - I stretch every day for my back. Not really thought about anything for my knee ligaments?
