Why do you do all that leg isolation before your squats? what does your routine look like? IE, what do you do on the different days?

I do the iso to warm up my knees. Have torn cartilege in both knees, had surgery on the right one in 1984 to remove some of the torn bits of catiledge which kept moving around and causing problems. The warm up seems to help keep the pain in the knees down.

I generally do a 3 day split: lower/upper/cardio, any where from 4-6 days a week, depending on how busy I am and how I feel.
