Anterior knee pain doesn’t always mean stop training — sometimes it means train smarter. 🧠💪
Spanish Squats are one of my favorite tools for athletes dealing with patellar or quad tendon pain.
The anchored band forces you to sit back, keeps your shins more vertical, and increases quad activation without dumping stress into the front of the knee.
👉 Translation:
You still get to load the legs, build strength, and keep making progress — without flaring up that knee pain.
Save this if you’re working through patellar tendonitis, jumper’s knee, or quad tendon pain — and want to keep training without making it worse.
