How to Keep or Rebuild SQUAT MOBILITY! 3 Solutions (Short)

[@TheKneesovertoesguy]

I hope this video is useful for you! I do these exercises every week in ATG Pro. In the app you can toggle from Zero (the basics, in my opinion) to Pro, which includes the further variations I enjoy. Thanks to everyone doing ATG!

@TheKneesovertoesguy I am 45 years old with osgood-schlatter disease since the age of 12. Do you think there is any way to increase funktion and mobility combined with osd pain management or is the damaged tendon attachment on the tibia something that just can't handle the forces put upon it? I am not American and doctors in my country refuse to do any treatment for this and just advise rest.

[@yanwain9454]

i got this other weird problem where i don't feel comfortable sitting normally in a chair. i am squatting on my office chair like jiminy glick right now.

[@distortedimages]

Are these knee exercises safe to perform if you have L5-L4 herniated discs ?

[@pamelawalmsley5971]

What if you have arthritis. Can squats help without hurting?

[@Angela.G.7]

❤i was thinking about you and this video came, i hear today the Dr can't see the problem on the mri. But 1 mucle on the inner side of the left knee disappear they don't understand why, and it is not good if i bend the knee it come all up, looks very ugly and fysio is not possible because of the extremly pain. So feeling so sad😢 hope your video's wil help. My bones are good, it is only the muscle what is missing and there is a whole at that place. Thank you ❤

Thank you!

In my 60s and go to the gym 4-5x times a week and in good shape for my age. Incredibly of all the things at a gym I found one of the best things for my legs and core is a simple low chair or stool. Sit, get up, repeat 10x-40x times depending on weight. Legs have never been so strong. Saw it on an 'over 50' home workout channel.

[@TheKneesovertoesguy]

Well done!

[@pamvancleave6722]

Thank you for that info! I am also over 50 and love simple methods of strengthening the body. I will try the low chair idea@

[@TheKneesovertoesguy]

Appreciate you!

[@HawkQueen1]

So glad I found you sir this is amazing! Let’s not just talk about the ability to squat and build leg strength but also flexibility. Decompressing the lower back and engaging the lower abs and pelvic floor. This is not just about squats people this is full body training for mobility and graceful aging! 🎉

[@TheKneesovertoesguy]

I appreciate that! Thank you!

[@LargeBlueCircle]

Really dope to see this content. I do squats 5x5 this week was 245lbs, ass to grass. But its frustrating to see kids come in, with smaller legs than me, doing 335 going to 90 degree legs (basically half a rep) then look at me like im weak. makes me doubt myself. EDIT: one thing I like about this is I can now hang out at the bottom with weight on my shoulders. So when I squat to failure, and I cant get up i just- rest at the bottom. And then ditch the weight. No risk. No pain. Easy.

[@TheKneesovertoesguy]

Good work! Should be proud of that! Don’t compare yourself to others. That is awesome for squats🫡🙏

[@darthsebio1726]

Right..don’t compare yourself to others.. but you should compare yourself to yourself..I don’t know what your goals are..but you should try to get progressively stronger over time...

[@takeiteasy7062]

This is a natural way for many cultures world wide isnt it. No shoes, on sand and flat surface from childhood. I lost this ability in my 50's after a back problem. I will work harder to try again. Good job.

[@brarautorepairs]

You have a lovely daughter. Anyhow, Amazing advice. The advice was no way past 90 degrees when I first started squatting. Coming all the down allowed me to reduce the amount of weight needed, develop between mobility and experience no knee pain. The knees over toes is something more recently I started however. I found that really helped develop my quads. Putting the muscle in that stretched position turns out is the most important for growth

[@TheKneesovertoesguy]

Thank you so much and glad that could help!

[@IgStu]

I lost that ability, then regained it again in much later years. Oh, your adorable child! Thank you.

Thank you for this! I was taught (a long time ago) to never squat with knees in front of toes. I have old soft tissue injuries in both knees, and I've been doing baby squats, because I was worried about hurting the soft tissue.

[@TheKneesovertoesguy]

Glad this could help!

[@chopwoodcarrywater49531]

Short, sweet, and to the point. I swapped to barefoot shoes about 2 years ago and got some free mobility gains, but wasn't enough to rest in a deep squat position. Thanks for clarifying with tips.

[@TheKneesovertoesguy]

Happy to help! Thank you!

[@margomoore4527]

I can still squat at 74, having simply never stopped using that ability to access lower cupboards and drawers. But my personal trainer has helped me to strengthen my legs much more than before, because he has me do so many types of squats-prisoner squats, sumo squats with kettlebells, straight squats with two 35-lb and then 45-lb weight plates, and my favorite, the belt squat machine. Squats are awesome!

[@TheKneesovertoesguy]

Yes!!!! This is the way 🔥

[@Ryan-xo5mt]

Wow I’ve been doing about 80% of this for years because it felt “good” so I kept with it. I’m 36 with full deep squat abilities. I always stretch in a deep squat. It just feels right. Thank you for sharing and confirming for us all

Holy Crap - I never knew it was possible to get that squat mobility back. I just thought "Well it's too painful to squat and I don't know any grown adults who squat so don't worry about it. It's what happens as you age and you really don't want to blow our your knees." THANKS FOR THIS

50 years ago I injured both ACL's playing football. Back then, there was no ACL surgery. I had to walk on crutches for about 6 months before I could walk on my own. My knees have been my weak link since then. I have longed to do squats for years, maybe this will work for me. Thanks for the information.

I have a knee that is bone-on-bone from a bad knee injury back in 1984, throwing the javelin. I tore 3 of the 4 ligaments off the bone and lost 2/3 of my medial meniscus. I am in a ton of pain as I've stayed extremely active this entire time. I either get a knee replacement or find some therapy that can avoid it. I can't physically do what you are showing. The pain is too great.

[@s.b200]

I (and probably also my childhood physiotherapist) would love to know why I could never squat. I made a physiotherapist frustrated because I went to her for 6 months after a gymnastics injury (badly sprained ankle). The major exercise she wanted me to do to was either squatting or the same bending exercise which the guy in the video performs on the chair. She discovered that I physically couldnt do it because my heel tendons seemed too short. She was like "no worries, we will stretch them out over time!". But after 6 months of stretching and stabilizing my feet there was no improvement at all, just pain. She measured my mobility over time and the improvement was literally 0. She got so frustrated that she gave up on me. Is that normal? :p Do you encounter people that are not physically able to do this?

[@TheKneesovertoesguy]

Sorry to hear about this mobility issue. The tightness in the ankle could be a concern here, which can hopefully be addressed with more direct strengthening. Movements like the tibialis raise or KOT Calf Raise will work great for training the ankle dorsiflexion needed to squat. Even before using the split squat. Try doing a reverse step-up with the heel flat. Will require a lower gradient of ankle mobility🫡

[@s.b200]

@@TheKneesovertoesguy Aah okay! Thank you for the tips and suggestions of excersices to try! Much appreciated :)

[@EpicRivers1]

I'm 5'11 250lbs, it has never not hurt for me to squat low and like even get my laundry out the bottom dryer. I've had very skinny friends who can perch on their legs in a squat and just sit there like a bird. I'll try some of this, although since I've been doing just body weight hack squats, I've recently noticed that getting low doesn't hurt like it used to.
