i know everyone hears 'i can't squat b/c my knees are bad blahblah..' but i really can't. i've got something called ' external tibial torsion' (worse in my right knee) where your shin turns slightly outward and stresses the knee and when i train legs, it's murder so my legs are suffering. calves are fine, quads are cut but small, been sticking with leg presses positioning my feet high, low, wide, close and leg curls and all that's painful enough. squats/hack squats make my knees feel like they're going to snap, and forget about leg extensions (which don't do much for size anyway) then the next day, i can hardly walk. it's bad enough when i don't train them just sitting @ my desk.
the question is, how do some of you guys deal with training legs with persistent/recurring leg injuries? it's just getting too painful, and i don't wanna be look like a big dude up top with a couple of chopsticks for legs.
thanks.
