not much mate, never been a good squatter was doing about 250 for 6 atg but backed off due to knees playing up. Now thats reason i now full squat last, less weight and knees dont hurt all time.
Half squat off the pins dosent hurt knees for me

Trying to play catch up had years of ill health and surgery 2 years ago requring full abdominal incision. 30 now so wasted best years just need to do best can with what (limited) i got.

BB Hacks  4X6 to 9 reps.  Think of them as reverse DL's, but with a little more leg action and less strain on the lower back (no bending forward, keeping the back straight).

GoodMornings  4X6-9 reps.  Slight bend to the knees and a arched/straight back.

Knee up's (elbows resting on dipping bar) Weight attached to ankles.  2 X 8-10 reps. Ab work can be important when doing heavier leg/lower back training. Need that muscle balance between both.

Good Luck

Ive been working like crazy - last week 7 days 70 something hours - so I'm gonna add more volume and less rest to my workout being in a time crunch and in case I miss a leg day which is very likely. Not optimal for my goals but you gotta do what you can do.

Im currently rehabbing 4 (yes) blown out discs that all decided to flare up at the same time.

Last workout I did Goblet squats with a pause with 200 for 7 reps.

then 4 x 8 high bar super-slow paused ATG squats with 275

then some single leg stuff on the horizontal leg press followed by 8x8 calfs and hams
