Knee Health for Squatters and Lifters
Healthy knees track properly over toes during squats and lunges. Don't let knees cave inward (valgus collapse)—drive them out. Warm up with bodyweight or light squats before loading heavy. Full range motion strengthens knees—partial squats actually stress them more. If you have existing knee issues, box squats and high-bar squats often feel better than low-bar.
