I think all the risks he mentioned are valid ... especially if you aren't using 100% proper form 100% of the time ... but I guess that's just a risk we take to build muscle ...

I can relate to the deep squats point I think ... as my right knee has been diagnosed with patellofemoral syndrome ... and it only seemed to have happened after I started squatting last fall (although I think the injury really occurred last fall, so deep squatting just aggravated it further most likely).

Should define heavy rofl. Heavy is different for each person.

if you can't do more than 15 reps, it's too heavy.

It says right at the beginning of the article "if you're a bodybuilder/powerlifter stop reading" I think this article is for older people that are really out of shape, and these compound lifts would probably actually hurt them more than help them...

but what do i know.

This article is a joke, right? Anyone who reads and believes this crap, please follow this nonsense as well: Avoid running due to the wear and tear on your knees. Don't walk or bike in cities because you may get hit by a bus or car. Don't hike as you may get eaten by a wild animal.

patellofemoral syndrome isnt really in the strictest sense an injury. a syndrome is a collection of symptoms experienced by an individual, perhaps without an easily identifiable cause (or with multiple possible causes). patellofemoral syndrome is just knee pain in the posterior aspect of the patella without cartilage damage.

most likely hypothesis at this point is a misalignment of the patella causing tracking issues over the end of the femur, i would suggest you try to analyze your squat because caving knees can cause tracking issues with the patella.
