    Is there any modification to program for squats with a meniscus tear. Meaning, does one do less frequency, wear sleeves, or adjust form in some way

    No, because everybody over the age of 35 has a meniscus tear. If there is no mechanical block, just squat.

    That’s what I figured, pretty much squat unless your dead but I wanted to make sure lol. Damn injuries are a pain in the ass though.
