Does anyone with knee problems wear a brace when they squat/leg press? Or do you think that would be a bad idea? I just thought that might help relieve some pain but I don't want it to limit my strength or give me an unfair advantage or lead to an injury!

I have a nice set of knee wraps from APT. They helped when I was having knee pain as the compression felt good during the movement. BUT, you must consider why you have knee pain. If you understand that, and the wrap helps, then use one. But don't use it as a bandaid to treat a problem, do that with a doctor.
