I appreciate the video. My only mission is to help people systematically improve pain-free ability. That’s it. Thank you for being willing to look past any BS and differences and share positivity. I just subscribed to your channel and will be a follower of yours from now on! Thank you for sharing the mission of helping others!!!!!

[@dave.thedev]

We need you on PJF Performance's podcast man. I have to hear both viewpoints in blunt contrast to each other. From what I understand, Paul Fabritz suggests that you only need the mobility for your sport and that extra mobility past that can lead to injury and make you LESS athletic, but I'm unsure if he's taking into account being strong in the *full range* of mobility or not. He also talks about muscle tightness recently coming from OVER-lengthened muscle and anterior pelvic tilt, etc. I'm just torn between both philosophies and love both trainers and their work, just wish I could get some clarity on where you guys agree and where you disagree and what results you've both seen in the athletes you've trained. Not to see it as a combative thing but to hone in on what both trainers have seen to be absolute truths.

@Joseph Scott 😂😂

[@Leonidas-eu9bb]

may be you should mention that it's not the exercise alone wich give us the desired restults. It's more the proper muscle activation wich you mastered but a lot of average guy don't. Your deep lunge is the best example. You have mastered to activate the hips (glutes) and deep core the right way and cocontraction of quads+hamstrings. But i think most people can't do this wich often causes knee pain. So just showing the exercises isn't enough for most. Learning it by feeling is the key.

Seeing you cover him made me really happy. You are my favorite strength and conditioning coach on KZbin and Ben is my favorite knee rehab, jumping coach.

I did everything the doctors said after my knee injuries (only go to parallel, no knees over toes, etc.) and it made my knees worse. Started looking at Oly lifters compared to power lifters, body builders, etc. and noticed oly lifters had way better mobility, vmos, and joint longevity. Checked out KOT guy and realised everything he was saying was backed up by what I was learning (he says he learned a lot from Charles Poliquin). His program is really thought out and incremental, but he'll bump you up if you're ready. Looking forward to eventually doing more of what you teach. Wish I knew this stuff decades ago.

[@brendanrichardson2287]

I love all the historical examples you gave, great to get context as to when and how these ideas and exercises gained popularity and began influencing training practice. I wanted to critique your statements on nordics though. Nordics do produce beneficial morphological changes on hamstring architecture (1) (2) with the most prominent being increased BFLH fascicle length, which is longer in faster sprinters(3), as well as increased intramuscular collagen. However these adaptations are mainly seen in the first 6 weeks (I can't find a source for this easily, if I'm misremembering it wouldn't be for longer than 12 weeks). One of my undergrad lecturers was the author of (1) and when discussing sprint improvements from nordics he credited it mainly to morphological changes rather than eccentric strength. I've heard this same sentiment from a coaches such as Cal Dietz (very prominent in the track & field world). Also Chris Beardsley has a great write-up on this topic (4). Also of note is that sprint training produces similar adaptations to nordics (5). Nordics are arguably much safer, though any athlete trying to improve speed should be placing far more emphasis on actual sprinting than nordics so should be getting those adaptations anyways. Also nordics are very non-specific to sprinting in terms of joint angles, joint rotation velocities, inter-muscular coordination, RFD, and other factors. Specificity is obviously less important in low level athletes (anything works), and progressively more important in higher level athletes. A recent meta-analysis (6) found very small improvements in sprint times from nordics though noted that this improvement was prominent in untrained athletes and much smaller in more advanced (team sport) athletes. Nordics look great in most studies because they are done on untrained individuals or sub-elite team sport athletes (slower and weaker than elite team sport athletes or sprinters) over short time frames. Though they tend to fall short in performance measures when higher level (faster and stronger) athletes are involved. Whether this is due to their non-specificity or lack of continual morphological adaptation or both I'm not sure. If those athletes you referenced had weak or short fascicle length hamstrings, or were having injury problems, then your use makes total sense. However as a long term speed enhancer I don't believe the evidence or theory supports them. I have no idea why I spent as long as I did on this response, covid lock-downs make you do weird things.

I think the knees going over the toes fear comes from some studies showing how much extra shear force that put on the knee relative to keeping them behind the toes. However, as you sort of mentioned when the knees stay behind the toes it puts an insane amount of increased shear force on the lumbar spine.

I started golfing last year, and in golf the most athletic striking position is to slightly round your back. Just a little snapple fact to consider

[@minolta7i]

Yes...length is strength!!! As my favorite person on BODY FUNCTION said " The LENGTH of ANY MUSCLE in your body INDICATES it's POTENTIAL STRENGTH and the distance thru which it can move the related body parts". IDA ROLF (the inventor of Rolfing).

[@KsChina]

She also defined strength as resilience, or the ability of a system to endure strain and return to "normal" (or at least not be deformed or unbalanced by it). Now, "normal" is a whole can of worms for her way of thinking, but it's fun to find someone thinking in "rolf-terms" about this stuff.

[@terrenceboyd1698]

Great to see some positive feedback from another professional!!! nice

[@IAMNATIVE]

Hello coach, at garage strength. This is my first video discovering your chanel and I have subscribed and like this video due to how you approach other peoples content. Mature and respectful, I admire your opened mondedness and honesty, I look forward to watching further videos of yours and growing from them. Thank you.

Mr Ben Patrick is 1 of the hardest workers in the industry in terms of helping out the masses. The lengths he goes to to provide information is out of this world

[@ricardoruiz2781]

I really appreciate your review of kneesovertoesguy! I just bought his book and hope I could reverse what years of military abuse has done to my knees. Really enjoyed your review, no ego, just an honest review. You've got a new subscriber because of that honesty, thanks again!

[@sh0k0nes]

He's the boss. At 51 I thought I was done. Knees were blasted. All pain gone. Strength returned. Power back!!

[@DrxEx]

You think its maybe because you just started doing something rather than nothing? Or, at least being consistent with something? No disrespect. Just sayin.

[@sh0k0nes]

@@DrxEx Fair question but no. I've done Martial Arts and Breaking (Breakdance) since I was 12. Very active and aware of my body. My training was massively affected the last 5 years. Now, I can get down again properly.

[@DrxEx]

@@sh0k0nes Awesome! Thanks for the response.

[@slhgrow7683]

honest and humble evaluation. Kudos to you sir. Both Modest and Mentoring.

[@RJAW23]

Very informative review on the knee over toes guy. Cal Deitz has been preaching the split squat for a while now too. You are so right, this stuff has been around for a long time and its great that is coming back around. Nicely done sir

[@willscharnagl6909]

kneesovertoes guy isn't a genius, just a smart guy who notices trends. his entire program is based on addressing common imbalances that lead to injuries, by strengthening muscles that are weak for most people. it's a great system and I have a ton of respect for him for the amount of helpful content he puts out.

[@ninjuh37]

Seeing as how noone else has been able to do this, it effectively makes him the guru or "genius" on the subject if you will.

[@Sensei_Lo]

Learned so much from watch this video I’m young trainer and hearing from somebody who has been doing it for while gives me some assurance

[@GarageStrength]

Happy to help!

[@pimentaaurelio]

Great job, man! So few people spend time saying good things about others. Glad to see there is hope :-)

Legit, I have started his program and my legs are feeling better already

[@michaelmorgan6627]

The pain in my right knee was so bad, I couldn't walk down stairs. I began the kneeovertoes guy's stuff and now I have no knee pain at all. It's like magic.

[@GarageStrength]

That's awesome!

[@iGameNakedx]

How long did it take you to heal?

[@michaelmorgan6627]

@@iGameNakedx 3 months. Though I did start feeling a little better after the very first workout. I'm even back running and jumping again.

[@LTPottenger]

I do red light and near infrared before and after workouts and that has finally stopped my shoulder pain. Still not 100% but it is a million times better. As for rehab exercises it's all pretty much the same. Do easy volume on the exercise and on the complimentary muscles and you are good to go. The big three hit pretty much all these muscles so if you are doing a reasonable program you should not be frail to begin with.

[@samdyke9193]

I like how you compliment him and find things from. I thought you would diss his brand from a competitive stand point, but it was a very good video! First video and easy subscribe

He helped my knee and lower back pain, never have I felt it again💪🏿

Which videos helped you on your lower back pain?

[@enriquegallardo]

Love to see professionals like you praising the work of others, it says a lot about you, keep up the good work!

[@robertconklin3850]

Being strong backwards makes sense. My bench went up dramatically when I started using bent over rows to warm up. Same concept

[@damonm3]

Just did my first aux workout.. hip flexors with 10% BW 3x20. Did it! Alternating shin and calf raises for a little too long. ~30 min. Man I got pumped up! Then hot tub x3 cold showers for an hour after.🔥🔥🔥

[@EvilestGem]

I love how if someone becomes famous via the internet other's within the industry will make a video about them to skim some of that success using the pretence of a modest motive. He's getting the success because he's done the research and put it into practice, unlike most of the rest, and his results speak for themselves. Knowledge is key and results drive success.

[@LightlessDimension]

I have an ACL injury (since a week ago) because of Wrestling training and I can't wait to get healed up and do that!

[@dsjimmy1]

Love how you addressed the age-old parroting of 'don't go past your toes' and people going down the stairs.

[@XXLRebel]

I was a physical therapy student and they made me believe stretching muscles made them weaker. The longer your muscles are the weaker they would be was the line of thought. I actually started believing it (although I'm an olympic weightlifter) and thought there would be some truth to it. I've become a bit inflexible because of corona and the thought I didn't need to stretch my muscles further because that might weaken them. Having started stretching again I must say I'm becoming stronger because of it. Goes to show what type of bullshit they can teach you even in paramedical professions.

[@BKrispy1]

This channel is so dope. As a former D1 football player, I didn’t think I had so much to learn. Every video you drop I learn at least one th8ing. Thank you so much for your content and delivery in all of your videos!

[@zipperneckfronkenstein3364]

As someone who's dealt with chronic knee weakness and pain WITHOUT injuries and have been researching how to fix them I don't understand why my whole life between school PE teachers to gym trainers have taught the opposite of this....I'm completely mind blown and excited by the possibility of not being held back by my knees!

[@lanvywynn]

I injured by left knee in kick-boxing and for almost 3 years I couldn’t even sit down without throbbing pain. I did 1 week of his daily FREE basic exercises and the pain subsided; 4 months later and I can frog jump and full squat again.
