I’m about 6 months into Knees Over Toes programming and my knees feel fantastic. Getting a small sled that I pull in my street has been the best home gym purchase I’ve ever made.
I really like this guy because he keeps it real and doesn’t sugarcoat everything to make it seem easy and pain free (both physically and psychologically). Progress is trial and error, two steps forward one step back, and this guy really captures what actually happens to you when you try to improve. Well done!
fun thing to notice, how he injured himself, and was able to build better knees post injury. so many people get one injury and say "oh, i guess my whole body is broken now." move your body folks, its an amazing piece of equipment.
Exactly! Imagine if he'd injured himself without being in the middle of doing the training or completely stopping after being injured. The injury possibly would have been much worse and definitely more debilitating to his overall wellness.
This so great to note about other injuries and especially surgeries too! Especially with ACL tear surgeries, you need to get moving the day of or the day after surgery so you don’t lock up and get scar tissue, because blood moving towards the injured area gives nutrients and oxygen needed for healing. Very important to move!
Yeah the program allows you to recover incredibly fast and to get back on track easily. So if you hurt yourself on day 90 you just regress for a couple of weeks to day 10 and you’ll be able to restart at day 90 and continue your progress.
A lot of people think getting all these aches and pains are just a fact of life and to get used to it. I’m barely learning most of this pain is from lack of conditioning and strength, which CAN be improved.
Amazing. I'm studying to be an Athletic Trainer (literally an exercise rehab coach) and this is exactly what we try to give people. Simple, easy to execute plans that TRANSFORM your ability to do the things you love. This is where the special is. Getting people back to the things that bring them meaning and joy. Super glad this one worked out for you!
Those movements have their place at times. But so do power cleans, deadlifts, kettlebell swings, rowing, eccentric hamstring work. There's an enormous world of restorative exercise and any trainer worth their salt will scale their coaching based on the needs and demands of the scenario
The exact kind of reply I’d expect 😂 So “demands of the scenario” dictate getting out of knee pain? See the guy in this video? Do you think any exercises you named are going to “restore” let alone “transform” his abilities? Hint: no.
To be fair, this video literally demonstrates someone following a program of specific movements and seeing a significant difference in his before and after. I'm not advocating for any specific exercises, like I said there's a huge range. But I'm not sure what to tell you if you just watched this video, saw his improvement and you don't think exercise interventions can help. 🤷🏼♂️
It really amazes me how not moving and staying in wrong positions for years destroys the capabilities of our body, but when we move in all angles and directions we return again to that strength.
I am not FULLY on the KOTG program but am incorporating a lot of it into my routine now. I've been battling knee pain for 21 years now and I can't believe how good they feel after a few months of working the program! So glad to have started.
I was told never to run or jump again 25 years ago. I am 52 and pushed the cars out of the driveway and shot hoops like the old days, after the 12 week zero program. Forever will I sing Bens praises at every opportunity for the miracle that is KOT. Nice work brother.
This guy is already pumped so easy peasey. I'm a 68 year old woman with knee osteoarthritis and LCL injury I have been doing squats and horse stance for two long ruining my knees. I'm walking backwards now on incline and find that helps a lot. I'm not planning on hoops or high jumps just building the muscles to protect my knees😊
I just watched this and I must admit. For YEARS doctors and people were in the 'no knee over toe's bandwagon. The secret is in the feet! I came here to talk about your jump, if you haven't figured it out yet. You developed all that strength and agility and didn't see, what I thought , to be good gains. It's all in your form. Watch a jump video and unleash all that hard work you did! I look forward to using this once I heal from a recent surgery. Good luck!
I've watched six fitness/knee repair videos today and you're the only one who understands how to use music in a video. You'd think the concept of "turn the music volume down when the narrator is talking, and up when he's not" wouldn't be some hidden secret, but apparently it is the Holy Grail itself.
Nice work! Also great mentality not giving up when you had an injury. I love these kind of success stories. I know I'm a stranger, but I'm proud of you!
Thank you for this video. I injured my knee a few years ago and while it has gotten better than it was, I still don't trust it the same. I'm going to give this a real try to see if I can build back some lost confidence! Thank you!
@@BlueRiptide Thank you for checking in! So far it has been going great! I already notice that if I slack off, it starts to revert, so I will need to keep doing this at least somewhat regularly. Hope this helps! Thank you! Xx
Another good video! I've been adding in some of Ben Patrick's stuff into my workouts lately and it's definitely been helping. Certainly feel like I've got some of my athleticism back
Awesome video! For the rim touching, I think it’s because you stop your momentum when you jump to jump which gives you less lift off. Think you could easily get a bit higher if you stride and lift off into it. We might need a “I learned how to dunk” video
@@ryanmartin5456His mechanics are so ass right now he could get easily get a couple more inches immediately just by learning how to jump. From there if he kept doing this work and add in plyos, he could get there in 1-1.5 years of dedicated effort I bet
I've done these workouts too and I only had light knee pains prior (minus a wrong sized bike-NEVER get a bike that isn't your size) and my knees and mobility feel stable and no pain in dynamic movements. I highly recommend wide toe box zero drop shoes and these knee strengthening exercises!
I second this. I do kneesovertoes exercises, which are great and help a lot. Switched all my shoes, work and casual to barefoot shoes recently, and after a month of no exercise, went back to the gym and found that all the ATG stuff was easier than before the break! Amazing difference! I also recommend toe spacers(used correctly for brief periods)
I tore my LCL 8 weeks ago, and couldn't walk for a couple weeks. I started implementing this daily for the past 5-6 weeks and I've already increased my vertical past anything I've ever been able to reach before. A couple more weeks and I should be able to dunk within a couple weeks.
You did a great job! Ben's exercises and knowledge has helped me so much over the last few years with my knees. You should train to Dunk soon! You could get an easy few more inches right away with just a really strong penultimate step.
Great video as always! Can't believe it has been a year since your last video. The cameos in Cam's and supporting him have been great. As someone with knee pain this has def peaked my interest and I'll look into the workouts you did to see if they fit in with my knee rehab 🙏
Came here to suggest a video. It'd be good to see a 30 day boxing challenge - You light spar on your first day, spend 30 days working on your boxing and light spar again to see the improvement. I think the training, progression and technique would be really good to see.
the joy on your face when you said you're pain free is so wholesome! how do you feel like this has helped with your ankle/hip mobility? I don't have any knee pain but my squat mobility is BAD.
Currently in my resetting to ground zero after recovering to reaching a 4.5min/mile to now unable to walk without pain. Nice to see that others have hit that point in recovery then had to restart also.🎉
It's helped me a lot with mine. I don't even have the program as it's a little too expensive but I've just been doing some of the stuff from his free UA-cam content and it basically made my knee pain disappear in a month. I find that the less regularly I do them the more the knee pain starts to come back.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I had ACL and meniscus surgery 6 years ago and I can't bend my knee past 90 degrees. It is so painful when I try stretching it. I really want to get my mobility back. It's really discouraging. Watching your knees improve gives me hope! Thank you!
Work on opening your hips which will also work on your quads and hamstrings/glutes; and do ankle, foot and toe work. Also those wedges he started with really help.
Tempting faith a bit doing those jumps but fair play. I too am working on my knees fitness, flexibility,mobility and have 5 months to train for my first half marathon, I've never ran more than 10km and that was 15 years ago so it's a challenge I am taking seriously. Good luck to all actively addressing their issues and big thanks owed to kneesovertoesguy, I actually think he deserves a nobel prize for his revolutionary physical therapy that is proving we don't need pills to solve problems. Shouldn't have said that, now they're going to come after me😮
Amazing video. You've given me hope for my 53-year-old knees, which have been bothering me since I was a teenager, and are holding me back now with my strength training. Thank you!
Since getting into fitness last year, I've ended up getting massively obsessed with Goal Guys videos and slowly working my way through them. Don't know whether its because I'm also follicular challenged by I'm obsessed with Bren's transformations. Absolutely body goals.
Shame you don't have an affiliate link for this, because I just purchased the program because of this video - and reading other people's comments below😅Never heard of the guy before this, but I'm definitely intrigued to get rid of any current knee pain & see how it affects my gym workouts, flexibility, AND dance training. Thanks for the video again! Great stuff!
My right knee has grinding and shifting when putting weight into it. I had a severed acl and damaged meniscus repair many years ago. I have screws and rods inside. Unstable knee at best. It’s difficult for me to do a slight pistol from a single step height. Have you experienced this and do you believe this program would work for me?
you can easily touch the rim if you change the way you jump. you take a few steps back to get speed only to stop to do a small jump and then do the "real" jump. you basically take all the speed out of it, might aswell just jump while standing.
Hey! Your progress was amazing!! I will definitely be giving this workout a try to help with my knee. For your vertical, I think you're more limited by your technique rather than your knees, I am only 5'9 but even with my bad knee I'm able to jump high enough to grab the rim. Keep up the great work 💪🏻💪🏻
That's great that you improved. I did Ben's programs for 18 months and thought they were awful. My vertical did not increase and I was constantly battling injuries. In my opinion he's all marketing and no substance.
Please search up corexcell sports training and rehab. I also been doing it for a year, but the way to jump higher is to do plyometrics. Corexcell also goes into ankles stability that takes pressure off the tib.
This 👆👆 Ben's programs aren't backed by science, overlengthening the tendons, and he doesn't program hardly any plyometrics which will actually help Tendon elasticity for athleticism. Ben's programs will maybe alleviate pain for a while but if you jump into sports your body won't be prepared for the demands of sport. They can actually lead to more injuries and don't do much for athleticism. PJF Performance, Strong by Science, The Movement System, Nathanael Morton, THP Strength are all much better alternatives and they know what they're talking about.
2:58 what brand these shoes are , i am searching for similar ting for me , i have knee pain . Want to buy wide toe box , less toe drop but not minimalist littlebit of sole can be good
I know this might be a little delayed. I am curios were you doing these exercises every day for 90 days or were you doing them for 5 days of the week? I want to make sure I'm not overloading my right knee since it's been an issue for the past 3 months
I never thought exercising knees could help touching your toes. (I have the same distance you do and it confuses people as I'm pretty fit otherwise but can't touch my toes) Really inspiring! even the thought of walking backwards in public just got my curiosity and probably a fun experience!
Well I’m 53 years old living in Northwest Ohio and want to start this, knees been hurting for 3 days, 17 degree weather can’t get outside, thinking stem cells or some sort of injection to stop the pain. I’ll keep icing and taking Advil, hopefully calms down and I can start this.
This is such a good video!!! Really makes me want to get back to Ben's program. I'm really good at half assing it. You definitely full assed it 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The only thing that's harder to implement is the sled pulling. Everything else needs little to no equipment so I incorporate some of these exercises in my warmups. How are you half assing it? 😅
Ive nessed up my right knee after running a 5k during thr night with pot holee, ever since then my knee has not been the same, it hurts and gets stiff after walking only 30 minutes at the park..mind you im 28 years old..ill try this with hopes that itll change things for the better.
Hi! I love this video so much! But I would like to know if you did this training every single day (despite the days you were injured), I mean yo did this one they yes and one thay no ?? Thank you
Great job, but I would look into signing up for his program coaching. Small form stuff that leaves room for improvement is still there. Like the split squat you should have your calves and hamstrings touching no gap
Would you say that only sled workout was effective? I cannot have sled, can the other workouts like Patrick Step and ATG Split squat improve the knees within 2 months? What was the frequency of your workouts? 3 times per week?
As someone who is currently going through knee pain this is very inspiring and motivating. What is your training frequency? I'm currently doing 3 trainings per week, and starting my 5th month of training, but I recently re-injured the knee so I had to regress :(. Also, how often do you do streaching? is it after every training or some other frequency?
Great video especially the jump off the ladder. LOL! I have dabbled with the ATG program over the past 2 years and after finally committing a month ago my knees feel much stronger. I do other exercises as well but try to get at least 3/4 ATG workouts in a week. I'm feeling the benefits and can even run now even though I way about 260 lb. I've also started recording my workouts for people to see my progress.
My knee got bad after using a recliner chair, I quit using it, took a while, very sore, stated the toe over excersises very painful at first, got better over time.
I had a similar thing. I felt amazing and my knees were so great after a few months of KneesOverToes that I WANTED to run! So I went on a slow jog. Guess what- I can't run. My Multiple Sclerosis made my left leg sloooooow and I kicked the ground super hard a couple of times, trashing my knee. After a few weeks of rest I was able to east back in to KneesOverToes and regain the knee ability and movement I had before that run. I love Ben Patrick's program! I still can't run yet. That is going to take a while and is neurological rather than musculoskeletal, but I have hope that one day I can.
The basic workouts don’t really target sprint ability or jump ability. You have to specifically train those and add in elements of KOT workouts to actually improve those without adding too much to your plate. His newer stuff has workout programs dedicated to jumping and sprinting.
Check. i grew up having knee pain. CONSTANTLY as a kid until adult hood. but i've always been a big and an athlete... Not you're average bear. Martial Arts and Skateboarding will get your legs right if you can do it. I'm 5'1", almost 6 foot. 285lbs at the time And could jump really FREAKING high in general. Not for my weight, just in general. I could touch rim all day. I'm trying to get these legs back.
Love the video! I thought i was the only one being 29 (I guess you're only a little younger or older?!) but already having knee pain whilst doing certain (cardio) exercises especially caused by running. Your video just gave me hope that if the pain increases there might be a solution for that; so thanks so much :)
nah bro theres hella like 16 year olds with knee pain just from doing high intensity sports and stuff and then they dont properly recover so it occurs during low intensity cardio as well
I’m about 6 months into Knees Over Toes programming and my knees feel fantastic. Getting a small sled that I pull in my street has been the best home gym purchase I’ve ever made.
Do you just do it on the concrete?
Im glad i live in the country.
The sles gets loud on concrete
What sled did you purchase to use on the street? I’ve been interested in purchasing one but didn’t want to mark up the asphalt or make too much noise.
@@SpenSahDude you can use an old tyre for backward walking
@@KCVen805how’s the noise
I really like this guy because he keeps it real and doesn’t sugarcoat everything to make it seem easy and pain free (both physically and psychologically).

So happy for you! I am currently in the program with a great coach (on Ben Patrick's list) and hope to make some good gains in knee flexion.
Did you ever get a mri scan to get a diagnosis on your knee? If you had any strain or tears?
you can easily touch the rim if you change the way you jump. you take a few steps back to get speed only to stop to do a small jump and then do the "real" jump. you basically take all the speed out of it, might aswell just jump while standing.

PJF Performance, Strong by Science, The Movement System, Nathanael Morton, THP Strength are all much better alternatives and they know what they're talking about.
This is fantastic. Which program did you follow in ATG? Knee zero ability? Or any of the weighted ones?
It hasn’t even been 20 seconds and I’m already feeling some tingles on my knees 😭😂
2:58 what brand these shoes are , i am searching for similar ting for me , i have knee pain . Want to buy wide toe box , less toe drop but not minimalist littlebit of sole can be good
Dude, this was awesome. Just wondering, did you do this 90 day straight with no rest days?
If you get your arms back further on the jump and load up a little more you'll prob add two inches
how often did you do the knees over toes routine?
This makes for a pretty good intro to his stuff. I haven't had time to look into it all systematically.
Thanks a lot for gathering all the exercises in one video ❤
How many days a week should we be doing the exercises?
what program did you do for this 90 day time? there are several KOT programs. thanks! :0
Following!
Did you mention how often you were doing the exercises? Doesnt Ben say once a week? Were you doing them every day?
I know this might be a little delayed. I am curios were you doing these exercises every day for 90 days or were you doing them for 5 days of the week? I want to make sure I'm not overloading my right knee since it's been an issue for the past 3 months
This is inspirational. I have terrrible knee pain and it frustrates me to no end. I will be trying these out
Doing your backward walk next to a pond is dedication
I was genuinely so happy watching that. Confirmed why I'm a PT haha.
Keep on going mate! From Australia.
This was such good story telling and funny! 😊😁 Super interesting! Thank you so much for testing this and sharing your experience with us!!
I had fun watching you improve and checking out the locations around town! Do you have a link to the program you followed?
Really enjoyed this!
I never thought exercising knees could help touching your toes. (I have the same distance you do and it confuses people as I'm pretty fit otherwise but can't touch my toes) Really inspiring! even the thought of walking backwards in public just got my curiosity and probably a fun experience!
Where's the Like and Subscribe? Great job guys. Really appreciate the hard work you guys go through to vet out these programs. Keep it up!
Love your content, man!
I hope you consider trying out bjj for a future challenge
Well I’m 53 years old living in Northwest Ohio and want to start this, knees been hurting for 3 days, 17 degree weather can’t get outside, thinking stem cells or some sort of injection to stop the pain.
I’ll keep icing and taking Advil, hopefully calms down and I can start this.
This is such a good video!!! Really makes me want to get back to Ben's program. I'm really good at half assing it. You definitely full assed it 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The only thing that's harder to implement is the sled pulling. Everything else needs little to no equipment so I incorporate some of these exercises in my warmups. How are you half assing it? 😅
@retardno002 I just only do his program 1 day a week...I guess I'm like...quarter assing it?
@@CaptainSallyPoo not really, I think he actually recommends only doing this once a week, or at least he did in a video with GarageStrength.
0:47 BRO! The sound and your face, I can't!
Great video! Does Ben recommend to do this every day?
Would really love to know what your frequency of training was? As much as tolerated, two or three times a week, everyday, etc?
Ive nessed up my right knee after running a 5k during thr night with pot holee, ever since then my knee has not been the same, it hurts and gets stiff after walking only 30 minutes at the park..mind you im 28 years old..ill try this with hopes that itll change things for the better.
Very informative! By the way, could you please tell me what brand those sneakers are you are wearing in the video? Thanks in advance.
Very inspiring. Good work! Would you mind sharing your daily routine? Thank you.
If you don’t mind me asking. Did you do this program everyday?
Hi! I love this video so much! But I would like to know if you did this training every single day (despite the days you were injured), I mean yo did this one they yes and one thay no ?? Thank you
Very inspirational. thank you!
Now i just have to overcome my mental block of walking backwards in the park lol
He looks so much happier at the end of the 90 days :)
My man hit a muscle up ! Nice!!im going to start adding these things in immediately
Fantastic video! I do the ATG system and my leg and knees are stronger than ever!!
Great job, but I would look into signing up for his program coaching. Small form stuff that leaves room for improvement is still there. Like the split squat you should have your calves and hamstrings touching no gap
Would you say that only sled workout was effective? I cannot have sled, can the other workouts like Patrick Step and ATG Split squat improve the knees within 2 months? What was the frequency of your workouts? 3 times per week?
You can also wear weight while running or jumping... it also helps
As someone who is currently going through knee pain this is very inspiring and motivating.
What is your training frequency? I'm currently doing 3 trainings per week, and starting my 5th month of training, but I recently re-injured the knee so I had to regress :(.
Also, how often do you do streaching? is it after every training or some other frequency?
Search up corexcell, alot of the problem starts in the glutes, his exercises are alot less intense and focus on muscles kot doesn't talk about much
Great video especially the jump off the ladder. LOL! I have dabbled with the ATG program over the past 2 years and after finally committing a month ago my knees feel much stronger. I do other exercises as well but try to get at least 3/4 ATG workouts in a week. I'm feeling the benefits and can even run now even though I way about 260 lb. I've also started recording my workouts for people to see my progress.
My knee got bad after using a recliner chair, I quit using it, took a while, very sore, stated the toe over excersises very painful at first, got better over time.
Good video. I may have some questions in the future. I’m have some knee pain and flexibility limitations. May reach in for advice.
I had a similar thing. I felt amazing and my knees were so great after a few months of KneesOverToes that I WANTED to run! So I went on a slow jog. Guess what- I can't run. My Multiple Sclerosis made my left leg sloooooow and I kicked the ground super hard a couple of times, trashing my knee.
After a few weeks of rest I was able to east back in to KneesOverToes and regain the knee ability and movement I had before that run. I love Ben Patrick's program!
I still can't run yet. That is going to take a while and is neurological rather than musculoskeletal, but I have hope that one day I can.
Do you think that the knee workout will equally help ankles ? Because these are my problem joint
Was this done 3 times a week or daily? And were you doing the couch stretches/L stretches as well?
The basic workouts don’t really target sprint ability or jump ability. You have to specifically train those and add in elements of KOT workouts to actually improve those without adding too much to your plate. His newer stuff has workout programs dedicated to jumping and sprinting.
Do you recommend these exercises to someone who has grade 1-2 degenerative meniscus tear?
Check. i grew up having knee pain. CONSTANTLY as a kid until adult hood. but i've always been a big and an athlete... Not you're average bear. Martial Arts and Skateboarding will get your legs right if you can do it. I'm 5'1", almost 6 foot. 285lbs at the time And could jump really FREAKING high in general. Not for my weight, just in general. I could touch rim all day. I'm trying to get these legs back.
Love the video! I thought i was the only one being 29 (I guess you're only a little younger or older?!) but already having knee pain whilst doing certain (cardio) exercises especially caused by running. Your video just gave me hope that if the pain increases there might be a solution for that; so thanks so much :)
nah bro theres hella like 16 year olds with knee pain just from doing high intensity sports and stuff and then they dont properly recover so it occurs during low intensity cardio as well
thanks for this! what' s the length of the sled pulls?
where do you live? the mountain and roller coaster backdrop at that field is insane
This is amazing where can I get the wedge that you're using under your foot for the workouts?
Can you please link the original video with the training routine?
The massage at the end was pretty cool. Love you both.
Wait, you got a massage?
@@Mr-Bogs Yeah, no-homo tho
