Question to RichRuff Training


Hello Rich. In terms of using only body weight, which is
better in building the legs, squat or lunges? And how
should I do it? I understand that they are both bad
for the knees.


James


Hi James. First, why are squats and lunges bad for the knees?
Is this something you heard? Do you have any evidence or
research of this? Any exercise can be bad for you if it is not
done right or not appropriate for that individual. Second,
squats may be better for some people while lunges may
be more beneficial for others. I can not make a broad statement
that one is better than the other. I would look at the individuals
current condition and previous history and decide which one
may be better at that time. Down the road, the other exercise
may be better.
