  Squats went quite well. I was very careful on technique... wide stance, vertical shins throughout, good valsalva, straight back.

  Above picture is an example of a box squat. They give the same strength gains as a back squat, but they enable you to keep your knees from travelling forward and accentuate technique. Very helpful, and the only kind that I can do with bad knees.
