I've been doing "weightless" squats lately, the kind Coach Troy uses in some of his workouts. They seem tough enough.
I didn't either. I agree that going that deep will be hard on the knees...I'm somewhat experienced at things that are hard on the knees . But you wouldn't need to go that deep, you could just go 90 deg

Legs day is my favourite workout probably because it's the reason I started going to the gym in the first place (PT for yup you guessed it knee injuries). And a legs day isn't a legs day without squats but never so deep for me...I look at the young kids with envy...so young so flexible
