ATG Zero: My Fitness Formula For Life

[@mitchellevans]

Dude, ive purchased your membership, purchased equipment from you, and I just want to say you're so amazing for posting this whole thing. A lot of people would sit their programs behind a paywall but it is clear you just want to help people and you know that the financials will follow through that. You're great man.

[@TheKneesovertoesguy]

hello, I am a 63 yr old female who has been sitting on the couch eating bon bons for the last couple yrs due to a bad back issue ( sciatic nerve ) altho i look like the mitchelion man, i started your basic steps IE split squats, regular squats,calf raises, front and back for just 3 weeks now and i can now do a full deep squat almost at a floor split squat in just 3 weeks!!!I also have managed to fix a shoulder tear doing reverse dumb bells. I;am now able to also walk further and stand longer than I have in a few years! so thank you!

I had a back problem for about 2 years. Before my surgery, I couldn't stand without leaning or sitting for more than a few minutes due to pain. I had surgery, and it was repaired. I worked hard with rehab on my back, and it is strong now, so I felt it was time to get into Brazilian ju-jitsu. OMG, I didn't realize until then how weak and lack of flexibility my knees had became. I started following your basic routine and now after about a month and a half I am making great progress. In 2018 I had a full knee replacement in my right knee and am 62. I was so down thinking I am too old and should give up. But thanks to your videos, I am making such progress and have a whole new outlook. Thank you so much. You really helped this old man. BTW my chiropractor told me about your youtube channel. He also follows you.

Hey man! Ive been studying health and fitness science for about 3.8 years now. I must say that one thing ive noticed is that a lot of new research (last 5 years) isnt being taught. Im blessed enough to have super passionate professors that still keep up to date with the newest info. Im also super excited when any new study gets published and any new ideas get brough to light. I have to praise you for your work, as you also know a lot of these concepts have been explored in the past and have just been discounted because it has been a lot of anecdotal evidence. But me and a lot of other aspring young fitness professionals are ecstatic about proving what a lot of us already know. I got into a very serious motorcycle accident 5 years ago and kinda rehabilitated myself. There were still some lingering issues. I Found your channel about a year ago, and among others, it has oppened my ince closed off mind to the possibilty that we dont know everything about the human body, its movement, and how to rehab and prevent injuries. Ive seen a lot of the "new age" training protocols (like yours) work wonders first hand. Im so excited for the new proven and researched information that is going to explode out of the health and fitness industry in the next 10 years!

[@TheKneesovertoesguy]

Wow! Really appreciate your support and passion here! You rock!!!

[@ommeking]

I bumped into your channel a few hours ago after suffering knee pain and shoulder blade discomfort for about 3 years now. I have to say thank you so much for all this information. It’s a lot to take in but I’ll just rewatch until I can absorb all of this haha. A lot of homework for me, but again thank you so much. You might’ve just saved me years of suffering and medication. If I see results you best believe I’ll be looking into a membership/equipment. Good luck to everyone dealing with knee/shoulder pain, I’m proud you made it here. Recovery here we come!

I'm very hopeful, he took some initiative the day after our convo and did some small tasks around the house to get moving. THIS stuff right here, I 100% believe he will get his functional strength back. Hopefully I can get him to stick with it, and be able to show people what you're saying is true.

Age 45 here, with knee injzry at age 12 and lower back issues recently. I also learned knees over toes is like forebidden and training the hip flexors us very bad and couses back pain in the long run. Since I implement your principles more and more, I feel better and get abilities back like back squatting deep, despite having a bad knee. And one thing is clear: If you can squat deep with a reasonable weight, everything else gets better, because the you have flexibility, balanced strength, coordination.

18M here. Watched your video on young athletes and commented about chronic shin splints that would occur from just .8 mile light jogs, they would last for weeks. Anyways I implemented the kettlebell tibia training in 15+ rep ranges and bodyweight tibia raises until I can’t walk. Shin splints are gone and I ran a painless 1.5 mile the other day!! Gonna get my 5k back soon. Thanks funny knee man I appreciate the knowledge

I've been incorporating atg into my training regimen since you were brand new long before you got on Joe Rogan. Thanks to you I run backwards up the hill 3x a week. 5 laps, it's about a 100-yd hill and then I sprint back down, sometimes I go backwards down the hill too. Going backwards is amazing. Do you do ambidextrous? I actually throw a javelin for fun I can't throw it very far but I practice throwing it with my weak side my left non-dominant side. Training the non-dominant side is a great innovation like walking backwards. Is it amazing these high paid coaches that don't know about walking backwards and would consider ambidextrous training to be a waste of time or it would mess you up or something but it wouldn't. Getting strong throwing with your weak side makes you stronger on your strong side. The weak side is kind of smarter too so when you put some muscle memory into it, amazing things happen. Right and left are twins and if you don't do ambidextrous training one of those twin starves and one of those twins is force fed too much muscle memory. You got to give your non-dominant side some of that good muscle memory food. I shoot baskets with my left side and I got better and better at it. And as a result I can shoot better with my right side! Give it a try!

[@TheKneesovertoesguy]

That is amazing! Also yes, structural balance with shooting, dribbling, throwing, etc. so important! Thanks for sharing!

The walking backwards was easy but watching me do the next steps was comical to say the least😂 I'm grateful to you for putting the info out there and have high hopes that it can help me continue skating for a few more years yet.

[@Rat-King27]

Seeing you able to squat knees over toes makes me so jealous, I've got so much ankle, knee and hip mobility, and my knees go over my toes on the way down, but once I'm at the bottom of the squat my weight pulls my knees back in line with my toes. I've tired different widths and foot angles, but these days, I've given up getting a knee past toe deep squat and just focus on doing heel off the floor squats and the split squat.

I have a hard time doing sports because of this even think about quitting basketball. Need your help Ben. Thanks for your videos though!

Would you feel comfortable recommending the start-up program to an eighty-one year old male subject? Lots of experience back in the 1960s before surgeons ruined my knees with procedure after procedure to the point where I am all bone-on-bone in both knees, but am doing well--sort of. I am tempted to sign up for the ~$24/month program to start with. Would you be OK with that? Would it be possible for me to meet with anyone in your program who might be able to hep me AND you decide if I should start?

[@TheKneesovertoesguy]

Thanks for reaching out and showing interest! If you can walk, you can start step one of our training, which is backwards walking. We also have a longevity program geared towards older youngsters who are trying to regain strength and ability🫡

[@williamdunn1000]

Thanks for putting this on. I am torn between back extensions. I started that because of your videos (and the low back ability guy), but then I found the pain was coming from spondylolisthesis where the lumbar spine is pushing the vertebrae forward. And now I am suspecting my back posterior chain is already strong enough? Would back extensions be aggravating the issue and I would be better off doing front core work (i.e., laying on floor with lumbar flat and brining legs up)? I have a tendancy to lock my knees and it seems to relieve my back pain when I unlock my knees. I am conflicted about back extensions and jefferson curls and getting conflicting opinions from PT. Do you have any thoughts? Thank you in advance

[@TheKneesovertoesguy]

Definitely important to build structural balance. Strengthening the core and the back directly. This article approaches what I recommend for back related issues: www.atgonlinecoaching.com/articles/5-basics-to-help-unscramble-the-mystery-of-the-lower-back

[@fontanic1]

Asking advice. I have pain in left knee with lunges or single leg squat, but left ankle doesn’t hurt- until I try walking backwards uphill or sledpulling - both which cause pain on anterolateral ankle. Is there a ‘most likely possibility’ for what is causing ankle discomfort during these activities?

[@TheKneesovertoesguy]

Can’t diagnose the issue, but simply backwards walking without weight or too much resistance could be a great start! Here you can also find our Knee and Ankle Approach! www.atgonlinecoaching.com/articles/knee-ability-zero-basics-pro www.atgonlinecoaching.com/articles/ankle-ability-exercise-routine

Hello, do you need to be injury free to follow your routines? I'm coming out of the back of a few months with knee patella tendonitis, also have a sore lower back from years of deskwork, do things like this need to be cleared up first or would these routines help sort these things out?

@@TheKneesovertoesguy Thank you! I'm trying to get started with my knees, but I'll be honest, there's a lot of info in a number of different places - nice problem to have :-) I can see there's a Knee Ability Zero book on amazon but there are also youtube videos and also a Part 1 article on Medium...which should I get/follow?? i.e. what's the best resource for a simple step-by-step this is the process kinda thing?

Do you have any alternatives for dead hangs (besides pulling the band) for someone with shoulder pain that cant raise their shoulders more than 90 degree angles? Im wanna give this program to my old parents but i know they raise their hands more than above the chest

[@TheKneesovertoesguy]

Having your feet on the ground for assistance can be a great option! I would also checkout my shoulder routine here: 3-Step “Reverse Out Shoulder Pain” Routine kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZTThXivdrZ7g8k

Love this easy outline for fitness. I do have two questions. 1)Which band do u have/suggest for those shoulder blade pull apart, I can't find any good quality one on amazon I just need a single band.2) How have u kept ur tendons in ur elbow pain free because I progressed in rdl weight every two weeks and have golfers elbow so how do u maintain healthy tendons upper limb wise.

Hey coach, do you have anything on relaxing pelvic floor? I searched everywhere but it seems there are just a few basic exercises. There is no palpable guide on how can we load weights onto our pelvic floor relaxing stretches. What do you think about cossack squats for example, are they effective in targeting the pelvic area?

[@TheKneesovertoesguy]

Cossack squats can be a great movement. The ATG Split Squat as well has helped many with their pelvic tilt issues!

Ben, any advice if the ligaments/muscle insertions on the lateral side of my right knee slide across the head of my fibula when I approach ATG? Thanks

[@TheKneesovertoesguy]

Don’t approach specific knee issues, but here is my approach to pain-free ability: www.atgonlinecoaching.com/articles/pain-free-ability

[@jamesmartin-g9f]

Hey Ben, I’ve made incredible progress so far. Not enough to run yet but I’m getting there. When I do the atg split squat i get sharp pain in my back left knee. Should I stop doing these and just focus on sled pulls until I feel strong enough to continue with split squats. Cheers

[@TheKneesovertoesguy]

Would scale back the split squat by elevating the front foot more and adding assistance. Also make sure you train behind the knee with hamstring curls or elephant walks🫡

Do you have good exercises for carpal tunnel symptoms like those you have for the knees?

We actually have a hand ability protocol on our ATG app, which could be a great place for you to start. Some exercises that could assist you here are finger extension and grip.

Hi Ben. Do you think with a high grade partial acl tear that would need surgery to restore stability in the joint? Can’t remember if your original injury involved acl or not?

[@TheKneesovertoesguy]

Can’t advise on medical concerns. But have helped many with ACL tears. Some avoided surgery, some had surgery and afterwards, did ATG and felt better!

Funny you mention the sprint thing, as sometimes I want to start doing them again but it ends up bothering my upper quad area. I wonder how long I'd have to go light and build up to being able to go full speed in a sprint.

Nothing wrong with starting light!

What’s your opinion on doing knee exercises every day (body weight), is it too much for the tendon to recover from?

[@GoalGlory3]

Primarily voodoo banded squats (to failure)

I like up to 3x a week. This is the frequency we use in our bodyweight programs🫡
