Tip Save Ur Knee

This article provides a tip for doing target squats to save your knees. It recommends using a target, like a box or platform, placed behind you at the bottom of your squat to provide assistance coming up from the bottom position. Placing a target at the right height allows you to lower into the squat until just before your hips drop below your knees, taking pressure off your knees. Target squats are a simple alternative to using bands attached overhead to provide assistance from the bottom of a squat.

Using bands to help sling you out of the bottom position of a squat is a helpful
tool. It's usually accomplished by using a "reverse band" method where you
attach the bands to the bar via overhead hooks.

The trouble is, many racks don't have such hooks Even then, it's kind of a
hassle to set them up. In either case, this variation can bridge the gap and
provide an additional benefit in the process.
