Reverse Sled Drags vs Deep Squats For Stronger Knees

Описание: Reverse Sled Drags vs Deep Squats: Which One Actually Builds Bullet-Proof Knees?

You’ve heard the locker-room gospel—“Squat deep or go home.”
But the reverse sled drag is rolling in like a quiet assassin, rehabbing creaky joints and stealing the crown. In this video I put the “king” of leg day squarely against the low-impact workhorse that top physios swear by, then hand you a no-B.S. game plan for every level—from day-one rehabbers to athletes chasing a new vertical.

⚡ What You’ll Learn
Real biomechanics, zero bro-science: Why load direction and range make or break your knees.
Concentric magic: How backward drags torch quads without trashing cartilage.
Deep-squat dividends (and the hidden costs if your mobility stinks).
Three-tier game plan—beginner/rehab, general fitness, serious athlete—so you know exactly when to drag, when to squat, and when to do both.
