I got this via Twitter the other day:
Q- I'm a 50 year old Strength coach who is using the Rear Foot Elevated Split Squat with my athletes but personally it causes me knee pain. The pain is in my front leg. I can use bodyweight but, if I go over 10 reps it hurts.
A- I'd try a couple of things. First I'd read Does It Hurt
After reading the article I might back up a bit and try regular split squats but still respecting the Does It Hurt idea. If it does hurt, I would try split squats with what Gray Cook calls Reactive Neuromuscular Training.
In essence we are going to create a valgus force to try to up regulate the glutes. I would also try a bench block technique to really see the weight from shifting anteriorly and then, reevaluate.
Lastly I'd try a Terminal Knee Extension emphasis
