There are many people who, due to back problems or joints, can not make squats. Well, there is no problem, Phil Heath guarantees, there are always solutions. Phil Heath recommends to those who can not make squats, to perform the following exercises:

  • Foot press. If there is a vertical foot press in the training room, use it because it is much better and puts less stress on the lumbar area.
  • Extensions for quadriceps on the device
  •  Lunges
  • Femoral flexes on the device.

Moreover, Phil says that knee pain can also occur due to under-development of femoral muscles. He explains how people tend to train more muscles they see. Most people put more emphasis on quadriceps training, neglecting the femoral. This can lead in time to the occurrence of knee pain!
