Having a cyclops lesion from my ACL surgery removed in July…I’ve been watching all your content so I can try to incorporate it with my PT. Thanks for everything you post man. You’re the hero we need but never deserved
I've recently been circling back to your stuff (especially from the Zero program) as I'm dealing with a knee pain. Doing these types of controlled exercises has got me feeling hopeful again, because I can actually do something instead of just waiting around for the pain to go away. But I'm wondering if it's safe to do these kind of exercises everyday. I know I have a tendency to overdo it with exercise. It's how I got this pain in the first place 😂
@TheKneesovertoesguy Thanks! Is your 3x advice based on the fact that I'm working through an injury? Or is it more general to even when I'm feeling strong? Would the same advice apply if I'm just doing exercises that don't directly target the knee joint like calf raise, tibialis raise, and leg raise (and omitting things that place a heavier load on the knee like Patrick step and split squat)?
Would love to help you get there! Would checkout this formula which builds from the ground up: ATG Foot, Ankle, Achilles & Shin Guide czcams.com/video/_2RZkfw6Y1g/video.html
I've done straight leg heel raises for decades but had not heard of the bent kneee alternative, until now! I shall give those a go tomorrow. What do the letters ATG stand for, please Ben? Cheers, Glyn
Hi, KOTG :) You say that your knees were not exactly bulletproof before you developed your system. My question is: Is there something in your system for me, as I have an arthritic left knee?
If it’s a knee issue, chances are my programs have helped more people with it than any other! Simply because my programs focus on pain-free ability! The more of it you have, the less likely this is to be an issue. This starts as simple as backwards walking and is step 1! czcams.com/video/Jwu8f42rLuI/video.htmlsi=x9J1nykzcoC6b1mO kneesovertoesguy.medium.com/pain-free-ability-50898ab0b950 kneesovertoesguy.medium.com/confronting-the-1-2-3-of-cartilage-arthritis-knee-replacement-b9882d3c93c6 Checkout these links and let me know if you have any questions! Always hope!
The KOT or Seated Calf Raise is absolutely something I would progress. Checkout this video: Achilles Advice - Hope This Helps 👊 czcams.com/users/shortsQHDMvKJApxM?feature=share
Did you get surgery? If so, after that big shoe comes off, you won't be able to use that leg at all. For me, biking helped a ton just to get some stimulus into the calf. It is very easy on the leg and you can control the amount of weight and you can be active for a long time. Try to stretch your achilles as much as you can without putting painful force on it. Try to not stand on your heel too much. For me it felt relaxing (With no calf muscle I always felt like I was falling over when I tried to put force on my forefoot) but becomes a habit and it won't benefit your calf muscle. Do some rotation exercises with your foot to make your ankle and tendon flexible again. And then get into heavier training as soon as you can. Train you lower legs as much as you can. When I do weight training I do calf raises in between sets of other exercises. Do isometrics to strengthen your tendon. Eat healthy. Stay active and let no doctor tell you, you should slow down. There's a ton more you can do. Especially with the rest of your body to avoid another injury like that one. Strengthen your core, make sure your lower back is strong and flexible. Work on hip flexibility. I'm gonna stop now :) All the best! You'll be back in no time!
Not sure if he has a traditional degree in a relevant science, but he was a promising basketball athlete that had to stop, due to his knees failing. He went on a bit of a mission to fix his knees and shares his lessons here.
I actually innovate many things which don’t exist in textbooks. My original mentor Charles Poliquin was exactly the same, and he coached people to 286 Olympic medals (MOST OF ANY COACH) despite using methods that had not been taught in textbooks yet. He taught me that the best athletes and coaches are often using methods 20-30 years ahead of what exercise/rehab science have tested and verified, and by pushing things forward, they provide the map for exercise science to follow. Would also have you checkout CSU, a program I am working on: www.commonsenseu.org
Just got Achilles tendon surgery after a full rupture a month ago. I’m only 22 and this feels like a huge blow to me ever really feeling comfortable playing the sports I love again but I sure hope I can find the right exercises and stretches to help me get there at some point. What would you recommend?
Oh shoot! A seated or KOT Calf Raise shown in this video can work great for the achilles! Checkout this video: czcams.com/users/shortsQHDMvKJApxM?si=7kdcTgCIUOROgJXy

Fortunately, my sessions range from 20-30 minutes and will hit the missing links to get you even more gains out of your existing training! Knee Ability Zero is 3 sessions per week (M, W, F) with optional upper body and flexibility on off days. The days you do the 3 sessions can be changed by you to fit your schedule. You may do the movements before or after your other training. It's your choice. Try it either way and see what works best for you. For instance, the Knee Ability Zero movements can be a good warm-up for your other training.

Any way to train popliteus? I get some pain behind knee when sitting on knees, squat all the way down or ATG split squat, and when extending my knee all the way after doing those.
Building ability behind the knee with movements like the Elephant Walk can help out here! Strengthening and lengthening the hamstrings can go a long way! Nordics + Elephant Walks are how you can address this! Watch this: czcams.com/video/569CDXqqnC4/video.html&ab_channel=TheKneesovertoesguy
@@TheKneesovertoesguy Really appreciate it. How often do your clients have issues with sciatica pain/tight sciaticas, and how do you address that for exercises like the elephant walk?
Love the explanation of how each variant focuses on a different muscle.
Glad you liked it!

Totally understand! I would limit this to 3x a week! Same with the Zero Program!

L5 S1 surgery and now my big toe don’t work. Wish I could spread my toes out again.

@@TheKneesovertoesguy thank you I will.
how do we incorporate your training, into our workout regimen?

Knee Ability Zero is 3 sessions per week (M, W, F) with optional upper body and flexibility on off days. The days you do the 3 sessions can be changed by you to fit your schedule.

Can you train both calves at the same time against a wall?
Yep! Double leg version of the straight and bent knee calf raise.
What exercises do you advise for someone who has a torn acl and can’t do these movements?

Sets of 10-12 reps can work great here if you are doing loaded. Without load you can go higher in reps!
Thanks! How would you load for such exercise? @@TheKneesovertoesguy
