My knees hurt during squats. What should I do?

First, check form—knees should track over toes, not cave inward. Warm up thoroughly. Try goblet squats or leg press temporarily. If pain persists, consult a professional.

Light activity (walking, stretching) helps recovery. Avoid heavy leg training until soreness subsides—usually 48-72 hours.

What's better: squats or leg press?

Both. Squats are foundational for overall strength and core engagement. Leg press allows higher volume with less spinal loading. Use both in your routine.

Can women do this leg routine?

Absolutely. Women often benefit more from leg training due to genetic potential for glute development. The exercises are identical—just adjust weight to your level.
