This is very helpful,😊 especially for me now, as I'm recovering my knees mobility and strength after being run over a few months ago. ❤

Been doing knee over toes lunges, reverse sled pulls, and dead mills. Absolutely has made a huge improvement on my knee pain.

[@SimonsterStrength]

No doubt. You’re training your quads and lower body generally 💪

Did Sissy squat and same :)

[@markambrose66]

Great points made! I definitely do think though if people want to get big VMOs they should do exercises with a lot of kneee flexion like literally Hammies touching the Calf depth on various squats etc ive seen a lot of growth by doing this

[@whoiamagain]

I think vmo looks cool that's why I want to train them As always thanks for your hard work

This question is not directly linked to the topic of the video, but I would like to ask you: Whats your take on barefoot shoes and barefoot running?

Where do we buy your program at? Also, will an out of shape, 208lbs, 39 going to my 40 yrs old work for your program Simon? Please follow up, I might not get your message so I have to add this most recent video my watch later and refer back. Also, do you still update your program on Fits website or you fully committed to Baseblocks. I always see your program ad under Fits but on here, you share it through Baseblocks. So enlightened me.

So what is major difference between people with nice full VMO and VLO and those which dont have it? I have no problem to built thick upper thighs, I also engaging gluts too much for some reason, thats why I dont squat anymore because I have just thick upper thigh and gluts, but lower thighs nowhere near that, my knees section looks like I never squated in my life 😭🤦🏻‍♂️😅, whats reason? Is it different height of muscles attachment on bone? Lenght of tendones? Is it genetics? Or bad habits, incorrect posture and technique and you can change it by relearn of moveing patterns through concentration? Because some people have literaly skinny upper thighs, no gluts, but nice full knee section - those bottom quads teardrops literaly overhanging patela 🤔

Do you know how to do a ufo its like turtles but but with no stab almost like a tuck planche spin

[@benjaminwingchun9665]

I think it's only for people that have trouble engaging the VMO, rather than knee pain, but yeah seems to be the general one people throw around, you have knee pain, work your VMO. For general people engaging the adductors like squeezing a block with legs close together during bw squats seems to help switch it on more than regular squats(especially when they can't go low because of knee pain). For people more aware they can think about that area and focus more on that range that activates it, and try to slowly take it to the range that it doesn't engage. My 2 cents😂

[@SimonsterStrength]

The systematic review I mention suggests otherwise with regards to squeezing a block between your legs. If you’re using surface EMG to detect increased VMO activity, it may just be picking up noise from the adductors.

[@paulshealthfitness7922]

my assumption is there isn't anything special about the knees over toes guys protocols, as long as you strengthen all muscles of the lower leg in a full range of motion you'll get the results even if you don't choose his exercises specifically
