Sharpening Pressure

Wow, I have a lot of respect for Jeff, but he's just plain wrong on this one.

IDK about making it one's premier leg exercise, that would be stupid. But as an accessory lift without machines its a great choice, right up there with Hack Squats that also have the knees past the toes - or maybe Tom Platz knows less about training legs than Jeff...

It won't wreck your knees, but if you already have bad knees it sure won't be appreciated at first.
I picked up a used sissy squat machine a few years ago, it's the only piece of equipment I have that is only good for one exercise. I love that thing.

I do em standing up, have worked up 55lb sandbag held just above the hips. I prefer these to hack squats, which I actually did feel were about the toughest exercise on the knees. Still, I don't have the best knees and have never had a problem, been doing kettlebell hack squats for years.
