Appreciate your support!

I was gonna say the same thing. It's awesome. Didn't have to hear some click baity bs sales pitch or presentation before a few basic exercises. Just hits you from start to finish with facts.
Exactly what I was feeling! Thanks Ben for trust-worthy content that has helped me more than I can express.
haha good joke
I'm a radiologist who reads tons of back MRI. It's incredible how many people have atrophy of the supportive muscles deep in the low back (multifidus) from never getting into a full flexion. I've started recommending the Jefferson curls and seated good mornings I learned from you anytime i see this atrophy in a person with reasonably healthy looking bones and discs. Imagine the pain and suffering (and money) people can save by healing their backs with this. Literally billions of dollars, and a huge contributor to the opioid epidemic.
Thank you so much! Love the insight from your comment!
im so sorry to bother you witwit this, but what about us with a ruptured disc? im recovering and want to incude this type of exercise once more but im so worried about causing a pain episode and stifling all progress.
@jointruenation
Just listen to your symptoms and allow for feedback time so you know if it's a motion that will cause a lingering flare-up. If you experience a flare-up, try minimizing the intensity or holding off on that particular motion. Sometimes, with subsequent motion, we tend to feel better. Unless you lack sensation from that area, your body should tell you.
@@wahgs5146 thanks for responding mate
I do CT scans, doc. Thanks for your comment
As a 60 year old truck driver your program has helped me increase flexibility so much
Thank you 🙏🏿
So happy to hear that! Way to go!
I'm 56. I have been doing this for about 30 days, I absolutely cannot believe I now have no knee pain after 15+ years. I am spreading the word! Thank you
Incredible! Way to go!
Ben saved my life... don't know where I would be without this knowledge. Early 20's with debilitating low back disc issues. Now I'm in control of my pain and haven't had a flare up in 6+ months
hm, ive had a bulging disc for 11 months l4/5.. had to get surgery because nothing helped whatever i did.. im now at almost 4 weeks post surgery.
the constant leg numbness and extreme leg pain is gone, but the medium back pain that i had is now doubled. so yea.. wasnt able to work or do any other stuff besides very basic daily things for almost 12 months now 😢 i already did atg before the pain started but it still happend, meh.
That’s incredible! Keep it up!

Bro what specifically helped you? Had disc issues and I’ve been in constant pain for almost 2 years :/
@@eternal.1909Getting STRONG in weak and tight areas by regressing things to my pain free level. From that point just continued to improve my pain-free ability
- Reverse Hyper (not ATG but helped me a ton)
- back extension
- seated & standing good morning
- loaded butterfly
- incline Pidgeon
- couch stretch
- ATG split squat
- Jefferson curl
The list goes on and on!! ATG taught me how weak I was and now I am getting stronger day by day!
The split squat in itself has done significant gains for my lower back and almost entirely eliminated my knee pain.
That’s awesome!
Same. Had patella tendonitis / osgood-schlatter in my knees my entire youth. My knees ached all the time from playing sports year round. I'm talking like 15+ years of pain. Started doing different forms of split squats and working on my mobility a bit and haven't had knee pain in over 5 years... like none at all lol life changing if you ask me.
@@stinkpickle7586 Did you do the exercises from the video or some other because I have exactly the same syndromes as you and right now pain in two knees(osgood schlatter on the left one ) + lower back (tailbone) thanks in advance?

Airborne veteran and I swear by your vids. Both knees replaced and multiple back surgeries and your vids have me moving better at 49 then I was at 29 👊🇺🇲
Wow! That is incredible and so happy for you! Appreciate your support and keep it up 🫡🙏
ALL AMERICAN!
I was just telling my friend that my low back is tight. Noticed doing yoga more. Can put hands flat on floor from standing. But, still my low back is tight. Perfect timing for this video.
Glad this could help! Improving these abilities with the Jefferson Curl and Elephant walk can go a long way! You got this🫡
I fell off a roof and broke my lower back when I was 18. I never thought that I would overcome the nagging pain in my lower back and hips.
I’m now 30 years old and I’ve been training ATG for 2 years. I’m more athletic than I’ve ever been and completely pain free. I can easily drop into the full front splits and I’ve almost developed a full side split by training the ATG split squat and cable pancake.
I also healed my elbow tendinitis by following these same principles.
THANK YOU BEN. Always straight to the point and no BS. Keep it up brother you are changing thousands of lives.
Wow! Am so happy for you and thank you for trusting the process and sharing! Keep it up!
do you have any tips for elbow tendinitis?
@@bigbobabc123right? I’m also dealing with that annoying thing.
@@bigbobabc123 Check out Ben’s video on wrist and elbow health. Train your grip strength. Train your wrist strength in every direction including rotation. Train your forearms with reverse curls and heavy loaded carries.
Treat the elbow just like he teaches the knee program. If you can complete light curls without pain, then do high reps frequently to promote blood flow and healing. Same goes for tricep extensions with a resistance band. Find the level that you can work at pain free and train it twice a week.
@@dogie8c I found a really good exercise that helps is holding a kettle bell with both arms in a sort of narrow horse stance hanging between your legs and then swinging it up while also extending your legs, repeating 30-50 times. It gets the body used to using a full chain of muscles for moving the weight. You can probably find it if you search tennis elbow videos on yt, not sure if I explained it well enough
Ben, I don’t think anybody would protest to you turning on monetization. You deserve it! You’ve helped so many people, including myself. I think three fifteen second adds wouldn’t be that big of an issue. Keep up the good fight!
You probably don't need it, but the community would support it for sure
Appreciate your support!
He has a very succesful APP called ATG. I alongside many spend $50 a month to access a HUGE amount of workouts + videos + content. He's the best
Doing the Lords work this guy. This is why i love youtube. Humans like this gentleman that share their wealth in knowledge. Thanks broski.
My pleasure! Thank you!
Thanks for continuing to post
Sometime I just watch him for the passion, the older videos are like motivational speeches at time.
Love that! Appreciate you!
I agree with another commentor, his content never seems to be click bait. He is consistently humble yet very accomplished.
Glad I stumbled upon his content last year.
Really appreciate you!
I'm in my 50's and one of my goals is to run a 10-second 100-yard dash. I recently was the anchor on a 4X100 relay team competing against athletes in their 20s, 30s and 40s and must say I was the fastest during the race despite me having patellar tendonitis in both knees as a result of overtraining. So during the two weeks prior to this race I focused almost exclusively on ATG exercises to bulletproof my knees. Lo and behold my knees felt great before the race and I pushed myself near 100 percent. To say spectators jaws dropped was an understatement.
REMARKABLE! That’s so cool and thank you for sharing! Love the goal!
@@TheKneesovertoesguy Sharing my story is the least I could do as you've provided me with not just the motivation to perform athletic feats but enabling me to do things I never thought was possible at my age, largely out of fear of getting injured. My next goal is to dunk a basketball like I did when I was in my prime during my late teens and early twenties. For me, there's nothing that gives me more satisfaction and pleasure from an athletic standpoint than to dunk a regulation 10-foot rim. I should also mention that I never took performance enhancing drugs, putting me at a disadvantage to many I've competed against in the past. The ATG method levels the playing field giving those who take the natural route the ability to heal, recover and resume training ASAP without PEDs. But then again, many of such ones whom I've competed against have torn ligaments, tendons and muscles, setting them back several months, years or giving up sports altogether--so going natural is the best alternative in the long run if one knows how to train properly.
Oh my God... thank you 😢 Dealing with lower back through the VA right now.
You got this! Keep me posted!
This is the first time I did the atg split squats with the front leg on a bench and some side support and they finally clicked for me. I just held the stretch in each side while doing deep breathing, and got a lot of gentle cracks in my hip/pelvic region. My low back pain went away instantly. So grateful for your channel been a long time fan!
That’s incredible! Way to go!
Trying to get back into skateboarding at 34, after a week i started having severe lower back pain, the stretches in this video alone have made today my first pain free day in months
That is incredible! Happy for you and keep it up!
No ads. Short format. Straight to the info.
Truly changed the way I live my life & train.
Thanks for the support!
I've got this guys backwards treadmill.
After 3 rounds I feel more balanced and more stable than I ever have.
Thank you so much!
That’s epic! Keep it up!
I am 63 and Was completly stiff. I started working to open up a few years ago...your achievments are really motivating!! Wonderful
That’s awesome! You got this!
@@TheKneesovertoesguy in my case loosening up was painful. But the pleasure of increased mobility compensates
It makes me feel good to know there are wonderful people out there! Thank you very much!
You are so kind!
You’re a king bro. A true blessing to so many people. Lots of love and respect for what you’re doing. Keep fighting the good fight brother.
I appreciate that! Thank you!
Thank you for keeping the ads out of these videos - that speaks volumes to your character. I'm still doing a few of your recommendations EVERY TIME I GO TO THE GYM (the split squats on platforms primarily, other bits and pieces when I can/when I remember). This program is S-level quality - top notch info!!!
Really appreciate it and glad this is going well for you! Keep it up!
thank you so much... im sure you cant hear this enough but you are changing peoples lives and making them better!!!! thank
you from the bottom of my heart...
You are so welcome! Really appreciate it!
Thanks for pulling all this together. Very very helpful. Couple of your videos a few months back have been really encouraging for me concerning knee mobility and reduction in back pain. I have every intention of eventually getting atg certified as a coach but I just lost my job, have to move and we just had our fourth kid... So in the near ish future... That said I have a lot of respect for the way you put this information out there and make it accessible.
Really appreciate your comment and rooting for you! Please keep me posted, you got this!
Such a blessing! Thank you Ben!
My pleasure!

Simply awesome. Please never change and keep up the good work.
Appreciate it!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I've really needed these stretches to loosen up my lower body!!!
You're so welcome!
Awesome video- I sit all day for my job so my back is in real need of these exercises. The scaled approach and progressions and details you’ve mentioned are gold. Thanks so much - I'll start adding the quadratus lumborum exercises to my routine 👍
That’s great! Thanks for the support and let me know how this goes!
Everything as usual....only the best!

You’re the man Ben thank you! I broke my patella years back and your training has given me amazing function ❤

I can't say thank you enough for making this information accessible and easy to digest. I've been doing the zero program for a month now and seeing improvements! Now to convince my mom to do it 😁
WOW! So happy for you! That makes my day! Keep it up!
Thank you so much for your videos, I got heal hooked in BJJ (it 'unscrews' the knee joint like opening a jam jar) and 3 herniated discs from a car crash plus scoliosis and your videos are really helping. I'm so grateful!
Glad these could help! Keep me posted if you have any questions!
Always great tips. Love my knees now, thanks mate
Appreciate it!
Lifesaver bro! Thank you for your channel and everything you do.

Thank you so much! I've been dealing with low back pain for a decade now. In avoiding pain, I think ended up letting my back go weak. I'll start on these exercises now.
You got this!
Your instruction videos and sharing of your knowledge is awesome. Thank you.
You are very welcome
Love you content changed how I move and posture awareness to stiffness I didn't know I had

I have watched all my dreams go by due to back pain from ankle injuries in basketball at 11. I have been trying to figure it out on and off since. At 37 I have finally dedicated myself to ATG and it has changed the way I see life with the more mobility I gain with these workouts. It has truly freed me mentally as well as physically. Thank You
WOW! So happy for you and thanks for sharing! Keep us posted!

63 year old female here. I am very fit and athletic for my age but also have a lot of wear and tear from over the years, ergo 3 knee surgeries and two disks missing from my back among other thing. Yet I am very flexible because I stretch and work out every day. But your exercises have elevated my physical ability and stretches to whole other level. Moreover my persistent knee pain has receded to almost zero. The walking backward on the treadmill is also amazing. Thanks so much
Wow! You are crushing it! Way to go and thanks for sharing!
I really appreciate that you're ad free. I hope to be able to support you some day!
I appreciate that!
You are amazing man. I’m a wrestler my neck always hurts but I guarantee it stems from my hips and lower back. I will be watching a ton of your videos to fix these mobility issues I have thank you

This is all great! I was really tight in my outer hips/glutes muscles and the two stretches that have also helped immensly in alleviating my lower back pain are the lateral knee-to-chest and the internal rotation stretch while laying on my back.
Way to go!
Excellent content and wisdom!
Glad you think so!

You've really done something special with your entire presentation. Been observing you from the earlier days and you have been maintaining a really nice balance between quality and the need to make money. You have always been so giving with the free level while providing clear benefits for the paid level.
I'm an often-poor hobo with an authority complex so it's nice to be able to continue learning from you without having to pay. But the quality of customer service was obviously high during my experimental month of ATG membership. I know structure and repetition will bring results but I just can't do that so I take ideas from you and play with them and learn a lot.
Your mom was just lovely in the email exchange we had, such a nice lady. I really vibe with people who walk their talk. That's why I'm writing this, to give you buzz because I'm not an ideal $ customer. A lot of people would be wise to buy your stuff. Backwards treadmills could be a normal thing.
Wow! I really appreciate your message and glad you enjoyed your experimental month with ATG! Your support is greatly appreciated and stay in touch! Keep it up!
@@TheKneesovertoesguy Ya dude, thanks, be well :)
This is one of the most high value videos on the platform, and will forever continue to be so.
Thank you so much!
I did crazy middle split (pancake) in yoga yesterday easily because of random dumbbells on legs exercise (butterfly) challenge from this guy. Nobody else in class could do them.
Good work!
Great video! I’m recovering from spinal disc surgery and it’s been slow progress 8 months post op with residual nerve pain down legs. I’m currently back training in the gym once per week plus working a few days as a carpenter which is very taxing on my lower back. To be able to continue to do my job full time I need to get stronger in a rounded back position and with lateral movement so I’ll definitely give a few of these a go. Thanks!
Definitely let me know how it goes and keep me posted🫡
This is a wonderful share. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yo this was really helpful guy thank you so much, love from EU
