Just doing squats period without any weight or bar causes knee discomfort. Ive been slowly adding to my leg presses. I can put about 200 lbs on the press (2 sets of 12) and my knees are ok and I can get a good work on my legs, but I know I eventually need to switch off with the routine so my body is always challenged, and Ive been hesitant to approach the squat rack.
Another exercise I do which causes a bit of knee discomfort is the hamstring machine, (where you sit and raise the bar that is over your ankles to work your thighs) although I can successfully do it. Ive been going at about 60 lbs on that.
