Wanted to give an update on this.
I watched the rooting videos and tried to apply it the best I could. I’m glad to say that this technique alone has alleviated a lot of pressure off the knees and I barely didn’t feel any pain at all on my squats and deadlift. I only had a slight sensitivity from a possible injury but I’ll see with time if this heals.
All in all I could finish my leg day without any nagging pain. This is quite a miracle and I wish I knew about this earlier.
