      Getting a lot of slow controlled repetitions in the nordic and the Jefferson curl (especially the negative) plus hip flexor mobility and strength through the atg split squat and the cable pull did it for me. I had already done them before as a child because I've been practicing taekwondo for ages but being able to drop into them no warmup as a 24 year old is another level entirely

    Absolutely love your stuff and everything you do, not only for the knees but also for the rest of the body. As someone who can't even do the split squat holds with assistance and leg raised whilst standing and instead has to do a kneeling version with about 10 cm's gap between bent knee and knee on the ground for minimal pressure, and as I assume others might have the same issue, it would be cool to see a video of the ultimate regressions for knee exercises and then some slow progressions.

    been doing atg for 2 yrs and when split squats finally progressed to ground level with slightly elevated heal with some waits, my right knee started to make a pop sound at the MCL area. It doesn’t hurt but extremely annoying especially that I have never had any knee problems what so ever. I have had strong knees all my life never had any injuries. If anyone is kind and well informed to shed some light on this matter I greatly appreciate it. I haven’t stopped doing split sqts completely; I am using a heavy resistance band to assist at the bottom of the movement and so far so good. I then tested my knee without any assistance with just my body weight and there’s a slight improvement.

    • @lisag18

      My knee pops, too but not as much when I noticed that my legs flays. I have to keep leg straight by holding in position then go down. My knee still pops a bit but not as bad when I hold it straight.
      My advice is use a mirror or watch your leg closely as you do the stretches. If you see it move to the side as go down,that's what the problem is.

    • @marlymar31

    • @TheKneesovertoesguy
      @TheKneesovertoesguy  Před 5 měsíci +4

      Sorry to hear about the knee popping you are experiencing on this! Can't diagnose the issue, but if this causes any form of discomfort, you should simply find the level on the split squat where you aren't aggravating the knee. Try elevating the front foot a bit more if necessary as well!

    Thank you. This is the kind of stuff I'm happy to find.
    My current goals are press handstand and V-sit. I definitely need more core strength but I also lack the flexibility for the V-sit.
    I usually do stretching and strength training in a context without any machinery. I have a wall and that's about it.
    By the way for training methods with similar emphasis on mobility and range of motion and strength in the full range of motion I recommend Lee Weiland. Lot of overlap. I've adopted the goals they use with their students. Press handstand and V-sit to start with and after that the basic breakdancing moves like "air flare". I like it more to work towards skills like that instead of training strength and flexibility in a vacuum.
    If you master these kinds of skills you'll not only have gained functional strength and flexibility but also balance and coordination etc.
    I find your channel an excellent resource and you strike me as probably the most well-intentioned genuinely good-willed wholesome fitness guy I've seen on youtube.
    By the way I recommend you set up bitcoin and bitcoin lightning and check out what is called the "value for value" business model.

    Love your content brother! I do a couple of extra things on the couch stretch you might find of value (or not but hey). 1) I'll push against the wall or cushion with my toes especially my big toe, so rather than fold the foot under I'll flex it against the prop behind and push against it for the first minute then fold it under like you demonstrate here. 2) During the stretch I'll rotate sideways with my upper body as far as I can in both directions and hold. Gets into some deep lateral muscles and tendons. Hope that adds something for people here. Thanks as always.

    Ben, love the content and everything you do!!
    I am struggling a bit with the equipment I have to do ROKP stuff with enough resistance. What are your thoughts on doing backwards walking on a treadmill but having it on at the minimum 0.5mph speed, inclined to max (12%), and then pushing the belt with my feet so it moves faster than 0.5mph rather than doing it with the treadmill totally off?
    I work out at home and have a pretty decent setup (rack, barbell, plates, dual height-adjustable functional trainer, smith machine, dumbbells, bench, slant board, dip belt, and treadmill) but don't have access to a sled and I'm feeling pretty stuck trying to address my knee pain.
    I tried just walking backwards with it inclined and turned on at normal speeds but just don't feel much in the quads. I know you recommend turning it off but the user manual for my model specifically says not to do this. When I instead do it at the minimum speed and really focus on pushing the belt faster I do get a nice burn/pump in the quads and I'm hoping this will remove any damaging effects to the treadmill just not sure.
    Do you have any insight if this is less likely to cause damage to the machine/motor? Should I also be using my arms as support to remove as much as my body weight as possible so my legs have to work harder to push the belt without the weight of my body helping?

    • @TheKneesovertoesguy
      @TheKneesovertoesguy  Před 5 měsíci +1

      If treadmill turned on at a low speed feels good for you and you are doing this carefully and pain-free I think this can work great. I still find turned off is king, and have not had issues with treadmills but totally understand your concern. Using your arms to hold onto the machine can work great too, but not a major form-point.

    Great vid once again! Something I would like to see is how you would plan doing (some of) these 20 standards in a one or two week program, stretching and strengthening on the same day? Your vision on when to take your time to rest and recover and when to do a lot and some sort of ratio between those? Focus on maybe 5 of the standards per period or try to work on almost all 20 in the same period? Even maintaining all 20 standards is quite hard to plan in one period, let alone progressing on some of these exercises while trying to maintain the other capabilities. I'm really curious about your vision on these aspects.

    Hello, i ran last year quite a lot, 5 marathons, and then i got problem with my left knee and now with right knee, so my condition went from very well to nearly nothing. Because i cant run because i got so much pain in my knees, but now i am traing to do these exercises. I started few days ago and lets see what happens. 😀 i also tried to go up and down the stairs, backwards, and after like 5 minutes i felt a pump in my knees and legs. Thanks for the exercises!

    You got my subscription. Mobility is something thats far to neglected in peoples fitness.
    I've noticed peoples hips and shoulders are usually what they end up having major issues with later in life so i think its really important to take care of them while you still can with excerise and stretching.

I have a question though, so I have pain on the back side of my knee on my right leg coming from above my calf area to right under my knee area so when I do stretches like the elephant stretch or any stretches having to extend my leg out all the way it kind of starts to cause pain because I cant straighten out my leg the pain isn't that bad but it does get worse the more i stretch it i wantd to know what you thought should i just get it checked out and hold on the stretching or just keep stretching, because i really want to unlock a new area of flexibility as an athlete @@TheKneesovertoesguy

    @joshuajproctor1 Před 4 měsíci

    I've been working up to the ATG split squat for a while and trying to incorporate other ATG stretches a few times a week. Do you have a recommended schedule per week? Is frequency dependent on the individual, or like strength training, should I incorporate rest days? Now that I'm familiar with many of the stretches, daily mobility exercises have become addictive and so helpful. However, some exercises, like the ATG split squat (especially weighted) seem to need a rest day here and there.

    • @TheKneesovertoesguy
      @TheKneesovertoesguy  Před 4 měsíci

      That’s awesome! Yes, everyone will be different based on their training goals and have programs laid out for this as well. Rest days are key too, and maybe on those you could be more focused on mobility work.

      The Hero Pose is a similar motion, if you can perform this safely and pain-free it could work great, but I also like the stretch/strength aspect of the couch stretch.

      also remember to jump off all 4 plants meaning both two foot plants and both one foot plants (Left-Right, Right-Left, Right, Left) balancing these 4 plants in terms of how high you can get off of them should be your main dunking goal as this will make you super healthy long-term due to lack of imbalance and thus will also make you have the potential to jump exponentially higher!!
