Is it actually true that doing leg weights will damage my knee cartilage more ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: If the cartilage has significant arthritic damage or tears, stressing it by addition weights could worsen the issue. Try it will small weights and gradually increase if there is no pain.
