I heard from a doctor that to avoid knee pain, you have to get flexibility and strength. But the most important ist flexibility and it's faster to achieve. I hope i write it correctly 😅

[@EmperorsNewWardrobe]

This couldn’t have come at a better time. As a tennis coach, my left knee has been wearing down and down until a point where I just can’t imagine recovering. These exercises give me new hope. Thank you, Squat University!

[@reinerheiner1148]

Just don't forget supplementation as well - collagen hydrolysate and glucosamine to help cartilage by providing building blocks and signals to regenerate, and oral hyaluronic acid for better lubrication. And, as a secret tip, taurine, because that'll work against inflammation in the synovial lining.

[@EmperorsNewWardrobe]

[@Lia-hd4ip]

Hi! I love watching your videos and I’ve been using some of your tips to help me squat! A couple days ago a car door closed on my knee (not extremely hard but enough to cause pain) and I thought it was fine because I was able to go to the gym for the next two days after that fine. Today, I was going again because it’s my full body day and after I finished warming up and moved to stand, my knee hurt really bad. I’m not sure if I stood up incorrectly but this has never happened before. After trying to squat I couldn’t because my knee felt extremely stiff and hurt once I sank into the squat. I’ve been making really good progress with my squats and Im worried this will set me back. Do you have any advice on what I can do?

[@diesel104]

Would you recommend performing these exercises if diagnosed with osteoporosis around the middle of the knee cap?

[@muthomimunyua9062]

Kickstand stand. Cossack squat. Curtsy split squat.

[@MrJSheppy16]

I’ve got one for you: whenever I do any split style squat or lunge, I get a sharp, hot pain at the end of my tailbone. It’s debilitating the moment it happens. I even got it once correcting my spine in the middle of a heavy military press. I know it’s impossible to diagnose without seeing me move, but is this something you’ve heard of. I’m an athletic, healthy, 35 year old who’s played sports my whole life (for context). I have some single leg stability issues due to a torn ankle a year ago and plantar fasciitis that I’m trying to strengthen. I’m worried it’s going to get worse over time and I’m hoping I can prevent that. If you request, I can take some videos.

[@colin-vandervoort]

Big up!

[@coronalsection]

Thanks for this great video. Would you recommend kickstand or Bulgarian squats are better for quad strength?

[@matt11210]

I like adding clams and some type of pure hip ABD to ensure there is no compensation when working those muscles. Also sometimes have success with ankle ev/inv, since sometimes balance is decreased on the affect leg and drives knee position. Also, don’t forget about shoe wear.

[@marctaylor1142]

Love this channel. Question though: If I have a torn meniscus, is this wise to do? Squats seemed to be the initial issue for me is all

i am at a point that i cannot make a single squat without pain or cumulative damage both are very small but add and add slowly. the only exercise i do that helps are laying flat straight leg raises with weight, so i get stronger muscle without flexing the knee

[@yesitsme6]

please make for whole body stability

[@elenawiens4942]

Part of my left meniscus had to be removed because it was completely torn apart and I am starting to feel the same pains before I went to the doctor's for it in my right knee. I am hypermobile, which means as I understand it that my joints are inherently more unstable due to more collagen than usual. I am hence very wary of exercises for knees so would these work for a hypermobile disposition? I had issues with curtsy squats/squats in the past but I don't want to "not" train my legs! They are my favourite part to train 😅

If we are already running a program, do you recommend doing these exercises after squatting/deadlifting or on a separate day?

[@angelrivera-sj6gk]

It's not the place nor the flag but the people and what is in their hearts. Love promotes live. Hate promotes death.

[@mcharbo8726]

I think there's value in doing deep dives into multiple subjects. However, I also appreciate S. Pressfields dream revelation summed up as "we do not respect dilettantes." If you have an interest, dive into it as far as you need, as long as it isn't completely detracting from your main goal. Yet goals change over time. Check boxes as if they're rungs to a higher level of your own potential. The only true end line is that which arrives in death.

[@TyPaff]

I have a lot of crepitus on my knees with squatting, would this set of exercises also help with this?
