Knee injury

[offswitch69]

My knee hurts when I squat. Would you recommend doing another exercise for legs???

No. I'd recommend finding out what causes the pain and rehab it.

if it hurts stop doing it. you aren't getting paid millions to sacrfice your knees so don't buy into this 'warrior mentality' that meatheads on social media push. it is your knees and you only been blessed with 2 of them, so take care of them

my rec'd is lay off a while and go super light and see how you do.. also your form could be off.. there is an insane amount of people in the gym who squat who do it with horrible form. i'm talking literally 90%+ of people. to fix form you should try box squats or front squats, it will prevent you from cheating

If it doesn't hurt with other exercises sure but you should find out why you're having pain.

If it's an injury training around could possibly just worsen it.
Find out what is causing it in the first place and try to fix that. Maybe it's just a technique flaw.

I'd lighten the squats or just do something different. Listen to your body. I quit benching for 2 years because of shoulder pain, because I listened to my body. You dont want to make problems worse
