  • If you’ve ever suffered from knee pain, especially in a squat. Whether it’s front, back, goblet, or air, Dr. Luke has a solution for you! . . This modification definitely needs to be a progression with depth down to below parallel. Start with a height that is most comfortable, as you train to that height with weight while decreasing the pain over weeks, continue to lower the height you’re going down to and work your way back to no box needed. . .
