Squat alternatives for sore knees

[Stephan Malan]

Hey Joe,
I’ve been training for 4 years and have always struggled with squats (I’m 23yo and 6’4) and thought it might’ve been because of my long legs. After a few years of hitting legs twice/week I started to develop patellar tendonitis in my left knee.

I’ve been doing your delt focussed program and have loved the results I’ve been getting so far. Was just wondering what you recommend I should supplement in place of the safety bar heel elevated squats?
I get no knee pain from the hack squats and the rest of the workout and was just wondering what your thoughts were.

Thanks!
Stephan
