- It took many years of training and learning as a coach before I was able to say goodbye to common squatting myths - and I’ve been feeling better ever since.
If you’ve ever heard you shouldn’t squat with your knees past your toes, or that the big mover muscles are on the back of your legs so that’s all that should be trained, you’re missing out on valuable training for sport, physique, and longevity.
In the two years I’ve become friends with Ben Patrick (kneesovertoesguy), his methods have influenced some of my own. Here are 3 foundational lessons to overcome knee pain, and also incorporate into any strength and conditioning program to look good and move well for decades.

When I discovered the kneesovertoesguy, I encorporated his exercises into my routine. Six months later, my legs are super strong improving my balance. I'm 70 years old. Thanks to both of you.
Nice.
These 2 channels are the foundation of my training and rehab, it's never gone better in my life
Been working out for 10 years. Nagging shoulders, upper back, knee and a lower back injury that brought me from being able to squat 350lbs to not even being able to squat the bar, made me realize that something had to change. I’ve done ATG program for 6 months now. I feel my joints healing slowly but surely. My physique looks just as muscular as back when I lifted heavy. Don’t be scared of losing muscle on ATG program.
As a rock climber it's amazing how useful the atg zero program has been
I'm French, and I love your channel, your advice, your training circuits, everything, thank you Marcus, continue I'm a fan.
I love what you doing! I did bodybuilding for so many years. I was always learning something new. Then I transitioned to CrossFit. Totally the movements are so different! And that’s my challenge.
And I found your videos! I also found out a group at my gym doing your program!
I needed to hear this. For the past 6 months I’ve been training with high volume for hypertrophy that consisted of mostly “safer” machine movements. I put on tons of muscle, but then 2 weeks ago I pinched a nerve in my neck. Realizing how imbalanced my body had become since putting on this much size, I looked up knees over toes. I was excited about the possibility of better mobility and less pain, but I also didn’t want to give up my muscle mass. This video put into perspective the long term game, and I feel more at ease about embracing this new direction prioritizing movement health above all.
This is exactly why I started following your programming. I still CrossFit alongside your program but I attack both completely differently. In fact others I workout with have started to adjust after having seen my progress
Some real gold right here, thank you for the information
Thank you Marcus, great video !
Since discovering KoTG i can confidently say that my athleticism has improved a LOT my balance, my explosiveness, my flexibility, I discovered athleticism that i did not know i possessed, and its just from doing the ATG ZERO! this training method has changed how i look at training in general and i'm so optimistic for the athletic longevity potential of the human body. I aim at staying explosive, athletic strong and energic until the day i die!
Amazing! Keep it up!
I really like how you give credit to kneesovertoesguy. I've been doing your persist programme for a few weeks now and have been feeling strong enough in my knees to go back to gymnastics, after stopping for four years after tearing my ACL. I am so happy for this and grateful for discovering Persist. Thanks man
Glad to help!
I am just thrilled to have found your channel. As a 62 year young lady, I bought into the myth for so many years and it has been so hard on my knees. Subscribed! Thank you for all that you share here.
Welcome aboard!
A great story & explanation, I'm now into something like my 65th year of physical culture training & coaching & I have a similar take on Ben Patrick's methods, discoveries & advice. I never met Ben but I did get a book explaining his thinking & I have benefited greatly from the input. I commend you for putting all this into this video with your explanation. Not sure about the head band but agree with all the rest, best wishes - 👍
Somewhat new to your channel and just invested in your programs. 55. Rotator tear and two torn meniscus later, I’m wrestling with crap right shoulder range of movement and post surgical fluid like buildup that’s been I my knee since post-op a decade ago. Found ATG through you. The content and tone is superb. Thank you.
Glad to hear it!
Marcus, I always love watching your content. Keep up the good work.
I appreciate that!
Loved the new music in intro Marcus. Please post it Full at the end of ur next vlog. Thanks alot for sharing bro🤜🏻🤛🏻👍🏼
I've learned alot from your videos, I'm strong as hell these days. Thanks
Glad to hear it! Let us know if there is anything specific you would like us to cover.
Great video. 👍🙏
Great video!
I always thought that the "never put your knees over your toes" rule was wrong because of all of the pictures of elite Eastern Block lifters squatting with their knees over their toes.
Where do you get your headbands?
(sorry for the off topic question)
Also, your single dumbell incline chest press is one of the exercises from you and Ben that are fixing my shoulders!!! Thankyou so much!!
Dude, you explain Ben's techniques better than he does!
I would like to see the handstand ("Banana Tree") and variations inside the ATG protocol. Best, o
Marcus what happened to the 'take it back, to, '95' song? I always assumed that you had had a great year in 1995 ...
where are the tanks in this vid from? I couldn't find the same ones in your merch store.
more more more...!
Ben wants to get you strong in the joint. Most people have strong legs but weak knee joints. My knee joints are severely weak. I'm going to try for a solid month to do his workouts and see how it improves my mobility.
I am not that concerned about how I look but I LOVE pushing max hard in a set, while going SLOW.. it's just in me. Thing is, I think your form should always be better than just good
This is the 1st time I am hearing about the straight shin concept.
You are only supposed to keep your chest properly as to not hurt your spine.
@@ToddTommow I think you are telling me you were following terrible fitness advice & now have hard time accepting someone didn't.
Not surprised after all Marcus himself is a CrossFit guy.
Peter Parker AND Denton Van Zan ? Oh, it's On Like Donkey Kong ! 💣💥🦍
What are your thoughts on the GOATA methods?
Those guys think squats are bad Bc your ankle one goes low. Do you run like they recommend? Their methods seem legit but they are kinda hard to follow and such. All their videos are pretty poor.
With this approach how would you work on fixing tennis elbow?
iirc, that is a forearm imbalance, and involves wrist exercises.
You are looking for things that causes golfer's elbow
Ben has a program for that .. check it out
I don't understand why ppl blast the music soooo loud compared to the speech. why is that?
Thanks for the feedback, we'll look at our volume levels for upcoming videos.
I need to get a trainer l can afford because l need this like 2 years ago.
Feel free to give my Persist program a try, 2 weeks free. functional-bodybuilding.com/persist/
How often did he have you workout per week for the 12 weeks?
It’s 3x in bens program I’m in the ATG coach program myself ..
Not to take anything away from the kneesovertoesguy but I feel like this concept of knees over toes being something innovative only applies to the western mindset of physical fitness. If you look at eastern modalities of physical fitness and strength this concept is not new at all and in fact very old. Hindu squats, yoga, Tai chi, even eastern European/Russian athletics have concepts that are much more functional when it comes to physical fitness and building full body strength, mobility, and flexibility. It's a similar case with the wim hof method; it was something old in the eastern world but because a westerner did it, it seemed innovative to the western world
Marcus is like the Giannis Antetokounmpo of the fitness world. Humble, always striving to learn more, and fit AF!
Fit AF? For what Price? Dude looking extremely tired and obsessed with his fitness .
@@ricknash4919 well, it’s his profession, plus it most likely isn’t exhausting for Marcus since he has instilled these habits over many many years. Just a lifestyle at this point for him. Plus his wife and many of his friends share fitness together, so I don’t think Marcus see’s being fit AF as w chore. He is too humble to admit how fit he really is
Marcus looks extremely tired
High af 😂
Can you make him (Ben) stop bro dropping his weights , his guests look uncomfortable and it's not in line with his preaching. Cheers 🤙
Other than man talking about his thoughts, no info or tip or technique.
Not worth watching.
Thanks for the feedback, what would you have rather seen in this video?
@@marcusfilly
Thanks for responding to my comments.
I was looking for how did you incorporate “knnesovertoesguy”s theory to your training.
And also, I personally suffer from bad knee myself, I was looking for some critical opinions from professional athlete. Which I didn’t get. Maybe I misunderstood the title of the video.
Since it didn’t have the information or tips I wanted, I just fast forward(?) the video.
I am not looking for quick fix, but I certainly don’t have time to carefully watch through the irrelevant video, rather watch the video have much more relevant one.
@@ringsmontgomery3042 we've done that video alread so I didn't think it necessary to repeat it. ua-cam.com/video/VnuarnAaQfQ/v-deo.html
I'm French, and I love your channel, your advice, your training circuits, everything, thank you Marcus, continue I'm a fan.
Happy to hear that!
Great video!
