   Matt,
   
   A couple of questions...for an older, taller lifter what depth do you recommend for a squat? I usually hit about 90...seems if i go another 5-10 degrees i start to get knee issues. I know this may be mobility issues but also may be age.
   
   Second question...it seems like you do a lot of sets on your main lifts. Do you get concerned with overtraining?
   
   Thanks.

   If going lower than 90 bothers your knees, don't do it. Unless you're competing and need to, don't.
   
   Try light knee sleeves if you don't already wear them.
   
   As far as overtraining, never going to happen. I don't/can't train heavy enough anymore.
