      I am a Jiu jitsu athlete myself. Been training for many many years.
      I tore my left meniscus over 3 years ago (it makes a little pop going DOWN stairs but not up.) but I have no pain or discomfort from it really. I also have dislocated this knee cap training back in 2008.
      And about 8 days ago I took a hell of a pop to my opposite knee now - it’s swollen and I think I tore some of my right meniscus now. I’m super depressed because I’m thinking I can never train anymore or I should just quit the sport I love.
      Did this help you?!!

      @ctashi7081 Před 8 měsíci

      ​@@cxlmobileheadlightrestorat7906to be pain free for knees, you need to have balance in your legs. When you walk and run you put 3x your bodyweight into your legs. Your tibialis absorbs the force but when your tibialis is weak, the force goes up from your ankles to your knees, causing pain in the knees. So yes there are some ankle exercises here but you need these exercises to maintain harmony and protect your knees.

    Girlfriend took a plane home on Friday. Called to tell me about a 50 something year-old guy she met in the waiting area who was doing squats/stretches/???. Becoming interested, she asked questions. He was stoked about what he had learned from a guy named Ben Patrick. From bad knees and two surgeries he had become a beast by doing Patrick's exercises. He was thrilled with life again. I'm getting pumped and following these videos. Apparently, Ben is still pumped himself. Great story about Bryce Harper. The last thing anyone wants to do in life is to concentrate (work the brain) because it's the hardest work there is. Blessings to all.

While putting on my pants this morning, I was able to put them on without leaning on something for support because of pain and weakness in my hip and low back. Amazing!

I’ve been walking backwards 15 minutes minimum every other night along with tibialis razors. I bought that bar. I believe it’s helping. Also in the gym every other day starting to slowly do different lower body exercises. My pain at night is going away.

I’m barely walking and it’s effected my livelihood as a carpet and floor guy, it’s all I know. A lot of despair and no hope for awhile that I may no longer be able to support my family.
    Yesterday, I found this video after watching him on Dr. Berg. I’ve been doing the exercises, and feeling more confident and that I’m on the right path. I have hope and most of all hunger to improve. That’s been lost visiting doctors and therapists that essentially told me I need to just retire and find some online work instead.

    One thing that really help me with ATG Split Squats was stretching out my internal and external hip rotators and doing some ankle mobility exercises. I noticed when I was doing ATG split squats in the beginning, I would always get bad knee pain on my left side but now I have 0 pain by bringing ample mobility to my hips and ankles. Your channel along with Squat University has helped me tremendously with my athletic performance in boxing so thank you Ben!

I tried everything and my knees just never felt right. after mixing in Ben's exercises over the last year, the results are astonishing. I'm dunking now at 30 which i've never been able to do and after I play my knees don't have pain or swelling.

      @@Joshua-uq9zw look into Ben's pages or his workout package online. For me what helped was calf and hamstring stretches to start. Once I build some strength back up integrating Ben's atg split squat, the hamstring curls, tibialis strength building, and (I forget what it's called) but when you go on your knees and lean back and lean back forward. Just start by going back a little and work your way back as you build the knee strength.

I’ve had two knee surgeries with my last about 5 years ago and had a completely separated and shredded patella Tendon

    • @TheKneesovertoesguy
      @TheKneesovertoesguy  Před rokem +3

      YES! I used to have that as well. The heel elevated step up + the couch stretch actually do the most for that. Check this out: look at the back leg, that's basically the reverse step up position! But the heel elevated really "turns it on" for tougher cases. Then add extra length with gradual dedication to the couch stretch. Keep me posted!

    I've learned a lot from you in training to protect my joints and improve flexibility - but the biggest take away I have now is how to run a business and be a man of integrity. I run my own business and it feels like nobody cares about the little guy and everyone is out to make a buck by any means necessary and people are cutting corners knowing they will get away with it. But to see you make every effort to do right people is so refreshing. You have my utmost respect and I wish you nothing but success. See you at the top Ben!
