5 moves to build strength without wrecking a cranky joint:
1️⃣ Landmine deadlifts or partial-range squats — control the range, expand it over time.
2️⃣ Glute bridges — low-impact, high-payoff for knees and low back.
3️⃣ Step-ups on a low box — single-leg strength without deep-lunge stress.
4️⃣ Trap bar deadlift — hip-hinge strength that's easier on a sensitive low back.
5️⃣ Band walks — builds the hip stability that supports your knees.
Two to three sessions a week with moves like these, progressed the right way, is enough to start.
Save this for your next gym day. 📌
