Hi, I’ve recently started working with a trainer and he really loves split squats and all of its variations. The problem is recently my right knee has been killing me when I get it down into that dropped position. So much so that I’m really starting to dread working out with him because I know it is going to suck.

If I give myself 2 recovery days it’s fine, but literally acts right back up on my first set.

Are there other alternatives to split squats that are more protective of the knee? I love the strength and results I’m seeing, but I don’t want to injure myself.
