Gentleman,
Im 25 and been training about 10 years. I inherited arthritic knees from my mother and tore the hell out of them playing football in high school. Each knee has been scoped, the right had a dislocated patella and torn cartilage and the left had a severe tear in the cartilage, in high school. Problem is that both need to be scoped again to remove all the torn shit now. Since i already have problems with my knees, i dont push my luck anymore, just hit a solid set of 10 with 315 and that's it.
front sqauts (give you a nice sweeping thigh): i use to love doing them, but fucked my left knee up about a year or so ago doing light weight (135 or 185). I had a ton of water on my knee for about 2 weeks, then it slowly disapated. I went to the doc about a week later and he said to just take it easy, so now i only do regular squats.
