Thank you.

a sissy squat bench is worth it if you're into bodyweight training, you can also use it for Bulgarian split squats

Thank you. I was looking for something for my legs, different than squats (because of my knees).

[@PhonkEcho]

me too. I hate squats. Knees hurt like crazy

[@Kasiek2011]

@@PhonkEcho Have you tried kettlebell swings? It worked for me, and this excersise is a great replacement for squats. As I recall Matt here offered excersises to strenghten your knees as well.

Should I be doing calf raises with plantar fasciitis?

[@jerrysegal2903]

as far as the quads alone, are leg extensions as good as sissy squats

[@DubravkoKovacduq]

But why not wall leaned inclined calf raises? So one can pre-stretch them and also have great eccentrics.
