Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Acclimatization Plan (Need some guidance)

Hi. I have done Gaylor Peak and that is good acclimation. I thought about Mt. Dana, but I wonder whether doing that 1.5 days before Mt. Whitney may make my legs and joints soar before the big Whitney day. Concerns about knees and joints taking too much pressure coming down Mt. Dana and then got to face the up and down of Whitney.
