Lol. Yeah OP sounds like he just realised why it is called the king of exercises. If no one has time to exercise... just do 10 minutes of squats, maybe 3 sets of 8 reps and it would be sufficient...assuming the weight is also sufficient.
And if you have knee issues, the Bulgarian Split Squat is a nice alternative
Please do not do this, using one loaded knee flexion movement over another isnt going to fix your issue (if it can be fixed).
100% of all non structural knee pain occurs because of either an imbalance along the chain or ”tightness.” It’s almost certainly because of your ankles or hips.
Switch to hamstring targeted training for a while, work both the sagittal and transverse planes(Cossack squats are prob the most important movement you’re not doing). If you have access to a sled/prowler do that… a lot, a lot
Interesting thought. I actually found them to be the comfortable alternative to barbell squats when my knees had some pain, not true "knee issues" if you're thinking of something serious as I didn't tear anything.
My physio recommended them as an alternative to back squats for strengthening. I also loved the individual leg ability with them. Really helped me in strengthening the supporting muscles without having pain.
I did a stretch and body weight exercise routine for about two months, then I used the split squats as my alternative to barbell squats in my regimen.
