      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

    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
      @lisag18 10 месяцев назад +2

      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
      @marlymar31 10 месяцев назад +1

    • @TheKneesovertoesguy
      @TheKneesovertoesguy  10 месяцев назад +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!

    @carlwatts1230 10 месяцев назад +3

    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.

    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.

    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.

    These are great! I've been working on my mobility for a few months now but it's been slow progress(I'm 58 but in very good shape). My main issue is that my knees have been so badly injured thru the years(my right knee doesn't even look like a knee anymore) that my heel can't touch my butt, I can get a bit past 90 degrees on knee bends but that's it for now at least. Thanks for these videos!

    My first day trying:
    1- Couch stretch: I couldn't put the knee to the wall and had to put it at a small distance. Still, I got a huge stretch..
    2- Split squat: I started on a chair and I don't know if I am doing correctly as far as how far the back foot should be. I can't get knees over toes and I think I tend to not have my upper body straight, but I bend over the knee.
    3- Elephant Walk: This one I did on the chair as well and it worked easily. Are you supposed to feel a stretch in the back part of the leg?
    4- 90/90 stretch: Not sure if I am doing the leg positioning correctly from the angle you do in the video, but I feel a stretch on the left/right side of the hip when I get my chest close to my knee.
    5- Romanian deadlift: Aren't you supposed to go all the way up again and squeeze the glutes at the top? Or you are just doing it for the hamstring stretch?
    6- Inner thigh stretch: Also don't know if I do correctly. I spread my feet apart and go down to touch the floor with my palms. I feel an inner thigh stretch but also a bit on the back of the leg.
    I will keep doing these to see results. Thank you so much!!

      Thanks for sharing! It sounds like for many of these movements you are feeling the tension where you should be! However this is why we also encourage the online coaching so we can guide you through each step: atgonlinecoaching.com
      For the elephant walk, yes, you are supposed to feel this behind your knee as you are lengthening the hamstring.
      On the Romanian deadlifts keeping constant tension can be great, but also locking out on each rep works well too!

    My chiropractor loves you too! I just found after after knee injury, quad dominance, cracking back mid n lower.. that I have collapsed medial arches(Flat feet), my lower back with tight weak and sore due to tight QL and Psoas, as well as tight serratus also make those ligaments in mud back "pop" over my vertebrae.
    Started doing your back mobility. A lot of those stretches happen to be my problem areas. As well as working on my tibial posterior for arches, anterior for shin splints etc.
    It's amazing, I ran track in high school 93-96. Had shin splints every year and the only thing that trainers did at that time was ice massage and tape/wrap shins... 10 mins after being on the track I ripped it all off since they were throbbing! During that time it never came up.... "Hey... how about we strengthen the shins(tibialis) being that they are called shin splints...." uhhh nope.. too easy! We all can just SUFFER n let all these issues pile up, unchecked n now(at age 46) I'm finally getting it identified and fixed curiosity of my chiropractor! She is also big on Pure Wave massage gun and finding a great pair of shoes with good arch support! My favorite being Hoka Gaviota running shoes great for collapsed arches! (Ps.. I don't "sponsor" any of these but do love what works well!

    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  10 месяцев назад +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.

    Thanks Ben! A couple of questions:
    When doing the full couch stretch against the wall....are you pressing your hamstring straight back against your shoe (that's what it looks like). Or does your foot go slightly to the inside or outside to allow the hamstring to come back more?
    For the standing calf raise...do you notice better results doing this on a slantboard vs. having your calf hang off the edge of a flat surface?
    Lastly...do you still do calf stretches? Or, does that standing weighted calf raise maintain all of the range of motion you need (making stretches redundant)?
    Awesome stuff and thanks again!

    • @TheKneesovertoesguy
      @TheKneesovertoesguy  3 месяца назад +1

      Good questions, for the couch stretch, either option should work well, but the foot slightly to the side may help you more comfortably get that full range of motion.
      For the standing calf raise, again, both options should work well, but when adding load it may be more effective having a slant board for stability and comfort.
      The standing calf stretch absolutely can be a great tool, with movements like the seated and standing calf raise it may not be as necessary, but I would still encourage using it. As it doesn’t take too much time🫡

    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  10 месяцев назад

      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.

      Good question, It is not a requirement to send in videos and have a coach, but there is no reason not to do this. You can do the exercises at your own leisure, but results could vary. Most people will fail due to… 1. Lack of form coaching 2. Missing key ingredients (ie. not following the whole program) It’s AMAZING how much one person can transform, but HIGHLY unlikely without following the correct path WITH form coaching along the way. The services you get with the membership only apply to one person. A family member can certainly join you for the exercises, but they wouldn't receive the form-coaching or guidance.
