After seeing buddies retire early from knee pain, I debate: gear vs. method.

Solid technique outlasts the best knee pads.

My buddy swore by the fanciest braces money could buy (like, stupid expensive German ones), but his form was always a mess. Ended up needing surgery anyway after his cartilage basically turned to gravel. The physical therapist told him his lifting stance was doing more damage than the weights themselves.

Those German braces cost more than my rent. Hearing his cartilage turned to gravel is actually horrifying. All that money and the form was still wrecking his knees.

My $200 knee brace didn't fix my terrible squat either.
