How can you say that knees over toes is working "more of the smaller muscles" While not going knees over toes works bigger muscle groups. The whole concept of his philosophy is training movements through full ranges of motions to that you work the muscles through their full length. A full range squat with knees over toes is working the quads the glutes and the hamstrings to a greater degree/full range of motion than a partial range. There are other benefits to training partial ranges of motion and different joint angles but to say its working different muscles is just wrong
That is very true. I thought it would be easier to understand that the limiting factor in knees over toes is most likely your knees or flexibility. But squatting with a 90^ or parallel angle from my experience with knee pain I never felt it and only my quads/hamstrings or glutes were the limiting factor. That was in my experience. Thank you for the clarification and thanks for watching and giving feedback as well. I’ll pin this so people can see this if they are confused.
Kieran was right. I just didn’t want to go that deep into it like I said above. Thank you very much Daniel! Hope I could help you out in any way. If you need anything please ask.
Actually your point about partials being less effective isn’t true in all cases, for instance going to full extension of the knee at the end of a squat completely takes the tension off the muscle and instead on the joint.
Athletically, I find it takes you to the next level. I've been telling people that my legs felt stronger doing these movements, especially "Nordic Curls", killer exercise.
Older guys Beware! I'm 64. An old 440 track guy and hockey player. Not only are my knees stronger today than back in 76, but this perfectly compliments my flexibility and mobility work I started 4 months ago. I feel absolutely amazing. Thank KOT! Your story is true on so many levels. I know

Just started this program yesterday after many months of watching Bens content. For what it’s worth, I have a Bsc in strength and conditioning and to me it looks legit. One thing I would stress is pay attention to regressions. Start from the most regressed variation, perform it slow and controlled and ensure you earn the right to go to the next regression and repeat this approach. Many movements will be brand new to your body, go slow and don’t skip any steps.
I'm on my second week of of Zero and I love it. My only additional con is the cost. 49.95/month is really steep for the depth of the workout. I would rather he sold each portion as a flat rate similar to the old Gymnastic Bodies model. The programs are so simple you can just write down the program, create a playlist of all the videos then cancel. Rather than game the system i would rather just give him a flat fee for each program. Great Review.
That is true but we get a coach to help us along the way. Soon he/she will help you more then you’d think. I had a couple sticking points and my coach helped me get through them. But I see what you mean. Once you get onto the other programs like dense and standards, you’ll get more variety of exercises. Hope this helps! Thank you so much Miguel! I appreciate the feedback

@@pattgsm Knees guy is paying staff that analyze uploaded videos of the clients exercising so they can coach on form etc.,. Do those other programs give such personal coaching?
I'm on my 2nd week of Zero. I'll be first to admit that I'm cheap when it comes to buying "programs", "content", "subscriptions" and such stuff on the internet, but this is one of the rare things I actually bought. Yes, $50 a month is steep, but I think I'm getting my money's worth back. Coach feedback is super useful!
Hey Joey, I just finished week 2 of ATG and feeling pretty good so far! Glad to hear about your results / feedback as it motivates me to progress with clear intention. 'Preciate the video!
Just started "zero" over the weekend. I don't have any knee pain currently, but I studied the benefits of strengthening and having healthy knees for the future. This program looks legit. specially having people starting at low intensity "zero" and slowly increasing it. Very smart training. I'm a Triathlete and plan on doing this sport as long as I can. Thanks for the review.
Another triathlete here. I also just started zero, I'm on my second week. I don't have any knee pain, but I had issues with PF, calf injuries, lower back etc. Plus, my quads and hip flexors are super tight. My R ankle is OK now, but it's generally a mess, ever since my basketball days, and the ROM is limited. And I'm not getting any younger ;-)
@Ethan Richard : I got it down to 40 minutes with all the stretching at the end. I’m very cautious with the movements, so I take my time w them and focus on good form.
I just finished week two of zero, it’s already making difference. I agree, it does take me about 45 minutes to complete. Agreed, everybody will benefit from this program.
Congrats, it didn’t even feel like I was the same person when I exercised from the beginning of the program to the end. You’ll love the progress! Good luck keep and pushing!! if you need anything feel free to ask.
I did zero and can definitely say it will improve mobility and confidence in your body, I’m a weekend warrior/security guard and play basketball and it helped me tremendously I plan to go back to dense next month so grateful 🚦
I have knee problems, all sorts on issue with discs in my lower back from my years in the army. It hurts my soul that I can't at 48 do things with my kids like I wish I could. I might try it after your review. Thanks
@Michael S Wow, I am so sorry to hear. I really do believe this program will help you. Make sure to do the mobility exercises for your upper body so you can do the more advanced lower back exercises in dense. I wish the best for you, if you need anything let me know!
Thank you @qeenforever Ive been on his programs for about a year and seen basically all his videos. I’m just letting me people know how amazing (life changing) this program was for me. Are you also getting his coaching?
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.
I just been doing the full rang stretches and have better joint quality and looser hamstrings and never realized it was my calves that were limiting my hamstring flexibility and tight tendons the tendon bathing is the truth
Yes, I 100% agree. I didn’t stretch in the beginning. But I’m glad I did. You are right, my calves were so tight. When you get to dense they will take it to a whole other level
@@jmend2223 Sorry for reaching out, but are the stretches included in the program and what I have not been able to figure out is, if there are follow along videos included? thank you for an answer
@@jmend2223 thank you so much 😊 that really helps. Would you mind sharing your results so far. I’m an endurance runner and over a few months now I have pain in my calves up to the hips and no doctor has been able to figure out what causes the pain. It’s worse climbing up stairs. MRT also shows no issues with my back. It’s really frustrating. I stopped running and only walk at the moment. But so slow, that a snail is faster
Joey: When I go to the gym, I ride the stationary bikes & I peddle backwards. Does that help my knees, like walking backwards? Also, if I use the stair master will that help my knees too?
Can we please get a 55 or 60 years old individual give a commentary on knees over toes. I only hear from young men, usually not older than 30 years! I would be most interested to know if after applying these exercises to mature aged people, whether they had the same success as younger people.
I started doing this about 2 or 3 weeks ago. I'm on a fixed income, so I can't afford to do his program. I'm almost 63 and female. I've been doing it every other day. I've only been doing 25 reps with 1 set, but I'm going to be adding soon. I was experiencing Pes Anserine Bursitis. I started working out a few months ago and I overdid it. Now, I am only doing this KoT until my knees feel stronger and I don't have any pain. Slow and steady. I have definitely seen an improvement. I don't have any pain and I've been able to go from total regression to ... I don't know the word. I'm getting stronger. I used to doing split squats from the 3rd step, now I'm 2 steps, but I think I could go to 1. I'm going to wait one more week before I do. I hope this helps.
Hi Joey, thanks for your video, it's making me more keen towards trying the program. Although, I already have some damage on my kneecap cartilage from an accident, do you think it's too late for me or can I still get something useful from this program? I honestly just want to be able to go back to backpacking and hiking, that's my honest goal, walking with a backpack is just too painful now at only 25 years old...
Wow Sergio, I am truly sorry to hear about that. To be honest I think you should try it. At least you can say it didn’t work for you rather then saying what if. I think it’s one of the best programs for knee health as of right now. So I say go for it, push yourself for a month if you don’t like it cancel. I don’t see that happening after the first or second week you’ll notice the difference. If you have any more questions please ask me anytime and I’ll get back to you asap.
So you're paying for the program on their website where you send in footage of yourself doing the exercises and a coach will review your performance? I'm looking at trying that for a bit.
Hey man, as a fellow life long shin splints sufferer, I was wondering if you suffered from posterior or anterior shin splints. Also, what specifically about this program do you think contributed to fixing your shin splints (just curious). I've had the worst shin splints on the lower inside of my left leg for the better part of a decade and I'm hoping this program is the miracle I need. Thanks!
Anterior, I don’t think I ever felt it in the back. Thibialis raises and calf raises are definitely the exercises I believe to have helped me not get shin splits. I am so sorry to hear that! Mine was the front middle/lower part of my shins. Feels like I broke my leg every single time. I really do believe in this program to help you. It’s a long journey, I still get them if I’m dumb and play basketball for a few hours but it’s now manageable and I can still walk. It’s getting better and better every time. I hope you at least start doing. The tibialis and calf raises. That part of the program goes like this 25 tibialis raises 25 FHL Calve raises 25 tibialis raises 25 kot calve rises 25 Patrick steps each
@@jmend2223 ah ok. Mine is like on the inside of the leg between the calf muscle and the ankle. Anyways that's great to hear and gives me hope. Thank you for the help!
The tib raises, and then stretching them by sitting on your feet. But if you are getting the pain from running, you are most likely over striding out front, with heel strikes. That then slams your toes down, shock stretching the tib muscles. Try to land midfoot to forefoot. That will help too.

I’m about 2 weeks into the Zero program. Starting off with really bad patellar tendinitis in my left knee and runners knee in my right. How did you manage pain going forward? Did it slowly go away?
Yes it took me about 4-6 weeks to feel really good in my knees but I felt the difference after the first day. There were a couple times where I felt pain, but I just regressed the exercise til it felt okay then tried to build back up again.
Oh damn, Ive been suffering from really bad quad tendonopathy on both my legs and patellar tendinitis on my left knee. How is it been for you now? I am very close to getting this programme !
Hello.. I want to ask you about your experience of the zero program.. It contains 10 specific movements but i don't know how to divide these moves.. 3 times per week but i don't know how to use the program
I’m curious about this program. I commented on the kneesovertoesguy’s videos and received no reply. I’m over 50. My knees are shot! My knees are always in pain, and that pain has been limiting my ability to exercise effectively and consistently which has resulted in weight gain. Is it going to work for someone like me. Someone whose years of slow decline has made it all the more difficult to exercise. Is it worth the $60 a month? Is this program TRULY going to help heal me and make it so I can be at the physical fitness level I desire to be?
For your shin splints, what results did you see? how long did it take before you were pain free? I've been dealing with shin splints for abt 5 years and am trying this program. Very encouraged to hear that it worked for you, but could you elaborate? Thanks!
No problem, yes I’ve had the same problem since I was a teenager (26 now lol). I did get shin splints in week 3-4. But I played 2 hours of football, and I have played in years. Now I haven’t had any shin splints after games of basketball or running. Like I used to, I believe that you will get better In no time. Just be smart. I’m sure by week 12, you will notice the difference. Good luck!!
I have real bad knee and ankle pain after all the lockdown in activity, I find this quite interesting although it seems unclear if it is exclusively for lifters, Im mainly interested for soccer. Do you think it would be useful for that?
Great, can’t wait to hear the progress! If you do feel pain always regress and work your way back up til you don’t feel pain. I made that mistake a couple times.
Hey man which portion of the workout requires equipment. I’ve thought about waiting until having enough money for the equipment before buying the program but seems like zero doesn’t use any?
Thanks for being so active in the comment section! Did you measure your vertical jump or other athletic parameters at all, and did you see if they had improved?
To be honest no I didn’t, I am more interested in protecting my knees I haven’t been doing any jumping/jump training. But that will be soon. I’m feel back to normal when I just play basketball. No sore knees after and that is what I am going for right now.
Do you think this will build strength in knees/legs to enable you to like take impact from falls? I can't jump high or drop down my large steps etc since a patella dislocation so think it could help...
Honesty I wish I could tell you. You should be able to because on of the exercises in dense is taking a large step down. I couldn’t do it pain free till I worked up to it. Now no problem! Hope this helps!
Is there like a basic starting guide to when you should be in this workout because I'm currently obese and 310 lb 6 ft 7 I can still run but the muscles that connect my glutes to my back hurt a lot if I do that
I believe so, he talks about getting stronger in a complete knee bent like atg and kot squats. Your body starts to regenerate new cartilage and strength you ligaments and tendons in the knee as well from the studies he talks about. I haven’t gotten checked but from how I’m feeling with barely any cartilage in my right knee. I feel like a whole new person. Basketball/jumping/hiking (in a smart way this time) no knee pain some soreness still but 95% better after being in the program for almost a year now. Going from 18”box atg split squats to 40Ib atg split squats and kot squats without a warmup are easy now. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.
I am a high school basketball player, if I do the 12 week zero program, will I get significantly stronger? Need to work on lower body, but also upper body
To be honest the first progression to the last took about 4-6 weeks from what I remember. If you progress right there should never be pain. there was a time when I first got to the floor and had to go back to 2” elevation because I was starting to feel it a little bit. Next workout I made sure I warmed up a little longer and get great again. What I am trying to say it, when you do get there sometimes it was because it was a good day. But now I can do it with no warm up just getting out of bed (yes I’ve done that multiple times just cause I can)!! Hope this helps, you’ll get to it in know time. Ps: I wish I focused more on the mobility part of the program my hips and hamstring where also stopping me from getting better when I got to the last progression and did for a little while in dense with the Jefferson curls.
@@jmend2223 yeah man, mobility bro, that’s what the coaches told me. They said I need to perfect my Patrick’s step up first with ankle full range of motion. And that’s the reason why I’m having pain doing ATG split squats.
Hey man! what are the reps and sets? and how often during a week did you do these exercises? Also, how are your knees now? can you compete in sports? I feel like this is my final option lol my knee pain is off the roof and I am running out of things to do! cheers man
@@Iceey62 yes, I feel 85%-90% back. My explosive and quickness is coming back!! I’m not getting sore after 2-3 hours of ball (only did this once tho) but 1 hour sessions 2-4x week and haven’t been sore since I’ve I started dense.
@@jmend2223 well damn thats good to hear. Im currently using the 4 stage plan to get back into soccer so will see how that goes. It should help but if not will have to use this program. Cheers man
Two questions, do you have knee pain already? Are you strong in the exercises that are in the program Ex atg split squat, kot squats, Partick step, tibialis raises, Calf raises extra...?
I would say yes! I do get a little sore every once in awhile if I do a lot of jumping in my workouts but it is 99.9% better then it has been in a long time. I also wore out my cartilage in my right knee so it has a long ways to go still.
Is there an explanation of the complete online pgm? I am wondering if I will have to pay the $50 monthly fee w/o knowing where I am headed.. What is the advantage of following the online pgm? Do u get a daily or weekly or monthly list of exercises? R u encouraged to write comments as u do the exercises? R u encouraged to record the measurements or ur ROM? What r the stages of r the stages pgm , e.g., 1st 12 weeks is called what ? How many stages r in the pgm & What are the names of the stages? Is each stage 12 weeks?
Great question! You get workouts 5x week 3 lower and 2 upper. I wrote down comments all the time. Quentin was my trainer, he replied within 24 hours with an answer or he’ll message me if the video wasn’t recorded at the right angle or any tips to help you make more progress. You progress when you and your trainer think you are ready for knee ability zero and you progress to the next program with standards in each exercise for ex. In dense You have to be able to control the Nordic hamstring all the way down before you go to the next program called athletic muscle I believe. I haven’t gotten there yet. Hope this helps, let me know if you need to know anything else
I would still say yes, just make sure you stay active and doing some kind of cardio whenever and how ever long you can (15-60 min). The only exercise you might have difficulty in is the KOT Squat. It might be a little hard to progress in. Especially if you already have knee pain. I’m sure the coaches have had over weight clients and know how to help you. Let me know how it is going for you soon. Good luck!
I’m overweight and doing the program. I’m just starting week six. I started lifting weights first but quickly realized my joints just weren’t ready. Days later I heard Joe Rogan taking about knees over toes guy, did a little research and then put it off because I’m super cheap. I want to lift heavy so I bit the bullet and signed up. I’m so glad I did, I started not even being able to do the Patrick step but now I am doing that plus making it more difficult and have been able to lower twice the split squat. For cardio just walk as much as you can. Walking is sooo underrated.
Yes! Start by getting Ben’s book on Amazon and consistently do the exercises. Over time you will see a difference. Remember the exercises are designed so you can make them progressively harder as you get stronger.
I didn’t do the stretches in the beginning. I still don’t believe in stretching to much. But I did the mobility workout 1x week. To answer your other question I did it 3x week I missed the upper body a couple times to be honest. Hope this helps.
I have a ruptured disk in Back lower back. I torn my meniscus, and I have zero to little cartilage in my knees. Which caused knee pain after playing more then a game of basket. Or if I would squat heavy weight past 90^. I’m being 100% honest right after I did the first workout or more specifically walking backwards and tibialis raises. I felt the blood flow to my knees and I knew this was something good.
I can’t say because I’m not a runner but what I will say is. I can run and jump a lot more without pain now. Hope this helps, if you need anything else let me know.
@@jmend2223 Thank you. So you recommend it for the pain? I'm not a runner either. I've got it because of muscle imbalance. I was wondering if people with this condition can work out pain free or not, like do weightlifting and some cardio.
I can’t say it will work for you 100% but I can say it as helped me tremendously and thousands of others. I say try it, it’s half off your first month with the code. I don’t make money on this, that is his own code for you.
You can either do the upper and lower workouts together for around 1 hour 15 minutes 3x week or you can split them for around 30-45 minutes per workout for 5x week. Hope this helps!
@@jmend2223 Ao.let me get this right. You sign up for 3 monthly sessions that will equal your 12 week training for level 1? Everyone I go on the links it says monthly. Why is there not a link that just covers the 12 weeks?

Wishing you happiness and abundance...🧘🏾♀️❤🙏🏾
@@christine1962ful I would suggest, tibialis raises 25 reps , FHL Calve rasies 25 reps, more tibialis raises 25 reps, Kot Calf raises 25 reps and the Patrick step. They only take about 10-15 minutes to do. You can even use them as a lower body warm up. Let me know if this helps, it is basically his zero program. Minus the kot squat and the atg squat.
Welll, i have hes program open in a tab for around a week now... i guess, theres no more need to hesitate.. ir eally want to run, but am unable... this just might me my one ticket to getting back to races, maybe i can start to think about a full marathon or some longer distance thriathlons. For now i basically dont train running as it usually reduce distance i can run in a long run, so i do that only in a race... :D whats funny- my knees never hurt in a race, only in training.. :D
I’m sure you will get great results. I’ve stopped my training with him to do more plyometric training and specific basketball. I haven’t add any knee soreness. I will eventually jump back on again after a year I needed something new.
@@jmend2223 no program, I just do the movement exercises I’ve seen him do in his videos in varied reps and sets depending on how much I feel I can handle while still pushing myself. Once a week seems to be enough at the moment sometimes even longer between sessions because i wait until I’m fully healed before going again.
I didn’t have that for the most part. But it will help your ankle mobility. Are you able to train barefoot or with zero drop shoes? Doing the regular exercises with either zero drop or barefoot will strengthen your feet. But be careful to start slowly.
I’m not to sure, I’ll ask. But I’ve now stopped training for now and have gone to 1x week kot lower body and 1x week kot upper body. I wanted to start a little bit different of training for a little bit
The isolation exercises in the beginning are 3x25 and the kot and split squat are 5x5. How this answers your question. Let me know if it doesn’t. Thank you for watching as well
He doesn’t recommend it. Neither do I, when your already doing a squat to almost failure why go to a lunge where you won’t be a strong/make slower progress. If you need to because of lifestyle or time the later exercises might not progress or get stronger as quickly.
For knee ability zero it is 3x week strength and 2x week upper abs Mobility. In dense he has you do upper abs lower days 5x week almost everyday if you do the jumping workout it’s 6x week
i will be honest i didn't test my vertical. this was mostly for my knees, but i will be starting the jump workouts soon. Tristan is the name of the channel he has a good review on how the program helped him increase his vertical jump. it was titled 3 months on dense i believe.

How can you say that knees over toes is working "more of the smaller muscles" While not going knees over toes works bigger muscle groups. The whole concept of his philosophy is training movements through full ranges of motions to that you work the muscles through their full length. A full range squat with knees over toes is working the quads the glutes and the hamstrings to a greater degree/full range of motion than a partial range. There are other benefits to training partial ranges of motion and different joint angles but to say its working different muscles is just wrong
That is very true. I thought it would be easier to understand that the limiting factor in knees over toes is most likely your knees or flexibility. But squatting with a 90^ or parallel angle from my experience with knee pain I never felt it and only my quads/hamstrings or glutes were the limiting factor. That was in my experience. Thank you for the clarification and thanks for watching and giving feedback as well. I’ll pin this so people can see this if they are confused.

I've been doing it 6 weeks or so. I can now touch my toes for the first time in 10 years. I also feel a lot better-- especially in the lower back.
That’s amazing, I was a little lazy on the upper body mobility workouts unfortunately. I’m glad they are working for you!
Just started this program yesterday after many months of watching Bens content. For what it’s worth, I have a Bsc in strength and conditioning and to me it looks legit.
One thing I would stress is pay attention to regressions. Start from the most regressed variation, perform it slow and controlled and ensure you earn the right to go to the next regression and repeat this approach. Many movements will be brand new to your body, go slow and don’t skip any steps.
Should we begin the program doing it every day or every other day?
I'm on my second week of of Zero and I love it. My only additional con is the cost. 49.95/month is really steep for the depth of the workout. I would rather he sold each portion as a flat rate similar to the old Gymnastic Bodies model. The programs are so simple you can just write down the program, create a playlist of all the videos then cancel. Rather than game the system i would rather just give him a flat fee for each program.
Great Review.
That is true but we get a coach to help us along the way. Soon he/she will help you more then you’d think. I had a couple sticking points and my coach helped me get through them. But I see what you mean. Once you get onto the other programs like dense and standards, you’ll get more variety of exercises. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much Miguel! I appreciate the feedback

@@pattgsm Knees guy is paying staff that analyze uploaded videos of the clients exercising so they can coach on form etc.,. Do those other programs give such personal coaching?
I'm on my 2nd week of Zero. I'll be first to admit that I'm cheap when it comes to buying "programs", "content", "subscriptions" and such stuff on the internet, but this is one of the rare things I actually bought. Yes, $50 a month is steep, but I think I'm getting my money's worth back. Coach feedback is super useful!
Its time to start sending in videos or I'm cheating myself.
Hey Joey, I just finished week 2 of ATG and feeling pretty good so far! Glad to hear about your results / feedback as it motivates me to progress with clear intention. 'Preciate the video!
Just started "zero" over the weekend. I don't have any knee pain currently, but I studied the benefits of strengthening and having healthy knees for the future. This program looks legit. specially having people starting at low intensity "zero" and slowly increasing it. Very smart training. I'm a Triathlete and plan on doing this sport as long as I can. Thanks for the review.
Thank you!
That’s amazing I’m glad you are doing this before you have too. Triathlete, damn that is very impressive. I hope the best for you!
Another triathlete here. I also just started zero, I'm on my second week. I don't have any knee pain, but I had issues with PF, calf injuries, lower back etc. Plus, my quads and hip flexors are super tight. My R ankle is OK now, but it's generally a mess, ever since my basketball days, and the ROM is limited. And I'm not getting any younger ;-)
@@jag8007 that’s cool JaG, I find the static stretches in “zero” beneficial thus far, my feet and calf’s feel more relaxed on the run. All the best!
@Ethan Richard : I got it down to 40 minutes with all the stretching at the end. I’m very cautious with the movements, so I take my time w them and focus on good form.
Now that I'm videoing only split squats and KOT squats, around 35-40 minutes
I just finished week two of zero, it’s already making difference. I agree, it does take me about 45 minutes to complete. Agreed, everybody will benefit from this program.
Congrats, it didn’t even feel like I was the same person when I exercised from the beginning of the program to the end. You’ll love the progress! Good luck keep and pushing!! if you need anything feel free to ask.
Should we begin the program doing it every day or every other day?
I did zero and can definitely say it will improve mobility and confidence in your body, I’m a weekend warrior/security guard and play basketball and it helped me tremendously I plan to go back to dense next month so grateful 🚦
Should we begin the program doing it every day or every other day?
I have knee problems, all sorts on issue with discs in my lower back from my years in the army. It hurts my soul that I can't at 48 do things with my kids like I wish I could. I might try it after your review. Thanks
@Michael S Wow, I am so sorry to hear. I really do believe this program will help you. Make sure to do the mobility exercises for your upper body so you can do the more advanced lower back exercises in dense. I wish the best for you, if you need anything let me know!
@@jmend2223which program do u suggest to start with for someone who has knee and back pains?
Go for it, you'll get your life back, feeling free and healthy is like nothing else
I so appreciate your demonstration videos. Thank you.
Great video and so cool to see how decent you are in acknowledging the creator of KOT and engaging in helpful discussions!
Thank you @qeenforever Ive been on his programs for about a year and seen basically all his videos. I’m just letting me people know how amazing (life changing) this program was for me. Are you also getting his coaching?
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 lower legs used to feel like barely held together nuts and bolts and now I’m kicking the bag in half lol
Awesome man! He as so many success stories that what attracted me to his program. Now he can add 2 more 💪🏼
I’m super confused I wish you would tell us what your knees were like before you started. Did you have bad knees, normal knees? I don’t understand.
I just been doing the full rang stretches and have better joint quality and looser hamstrings and never realized it was my calves that were limiting my hamstring flexibility and tight tendons the tendon bathing is the truth
Yes, I 100% agree. I didn’t stretch in the beginning. But I’m glad I did. You are right, my calves were so tight. When you get to dense they will take it to a whole other level
@@jmend2223 Sorry for reaching out, but are the stretches included in the program and what I have not been able to figure out is, if there are follow along videos included? thank you for an answer
@@stephaniehummel9771 yes the stretches are layed out just like the exercises with progresso to go with them.
@@jmend2223 thank you so much 😊 that really helps. Would you mind sharing your results so far. I’m an endurance runner and over a few months now I have pain in my calves up to the hips and no doctor has been able to figure out what causes the pain. It’s worse climbing up stairs. MRT also shows no issues with my back. It’s really frustrating. I stopped running and only walk at the moment. But so slow, that a snail is faster
Could somebody share the routines for the people who don’t have money to buy it ??
This is an awesome video!!! I haven’t ever heard of the knees over toes guy and will have to check him out too. Thanks man
No problem, if you have any questions feel free to ask.
Hey Joey, I haven’t heard of the knees over toes guy, but I’m going to check him out for sure! I’m really happy that the program helped you
Great let me know how it goes. yes it did tremendously!
Joey: When I go to the gym, I ride the stationary bikes & I peddle backwards. Does that help my knees, like walking backwards? Also, if I use the stair master will that help my knees too?
Ben now has a book covering the Zero program!
Thank you for this quick review! 😊
Great info and you’re soo helpful answering all the questions ♥️
Thanks Darly, I appreciate you watching and enjoying the content. If you have any questions let me know
@@jmend2223 thank you for responding 💜I have knee pain and lower back pain. Where do I start?
Did you say that I can get 50% off from the zero program? I'm about to sign up for it.
Can we please get a 55 or 60 years old individual give a commentary on knees over toes. I only hear from young men, usually not older than 30 years! I would be most interested to know if after applying these exercises to mature aged people, whether they had the same success as younger people.
I started doing this about 2 or 3 weeks ago. I'm on a fixed income, so I can't afford to do his program. I'm almost 63 and female. I've been doing it every other day. I've only been doing 25 reps with 1 set, but I'm going to be adding soon.
I was experiencing Pes Anserine Bursitis. I started working out a few months ago and I overdid it.
Now, I am only doing this KoT until my knees feel stronger and I don't have any pain. Slow and steady. I have definitely seen an improvement. I don't have any pain and I've been able to go from total regression to ... I don't know the word. I'm getting stronger. I used to doing split squats from the 3rd step, now I'm 2 steps, but I think I could go to 1. I'm going to wait one more week before I do.
I hope this helps.
Hi Joey, thanks for your video, it's making me more keen towards trying the program. Although, I already have some damage on my kneecap cartilage from an accident, do you think it's too late for me or can I still get something useful from this program? I honestly just want to be able to go back to backpacking and hiking, that's my honest goal, walking with a backpack is just too painful now at only 25 years old...
Wow Sergio, I am truly sorry to hear about that. To be honest I think you should try it. At least you can say it didn’t work for you rather then saying what if. I think it’s one of the best programs for knee health as of right now. So I say go for it, push yourself for a month if you don’t like it cancel. I don’t see that happening after the first or second week you’ll notice the difference. If you have any more questions please ask me anytime and I’ll get back to you asap.
@@jmend2223 thanks Joey, I'll give it a go then. I hope that at least I can come out stronger than before. Thanks again for your review and reply!
No problem, I made it so more people like you and me can finally feel strong again 💪🏼
Good luck on your journey! I’ll be here to help
Hey there, you need to fix both KOT Calf raise & Patrick Step exercises. Check Ben's videos again. ;)
So you're paying for the program on their website where you send in footage of yourself doing the exercises and a coach will review your performance? I'm looking at trying that for a bit.
Hey man, as a fellow life long shin splints sufferer, I was wondering if you suffered from posterior or anterior shin splints. Also, what specifically about this program do you think contributed to fixing your shin splints (just curious). I've had the worst shin splints on the lower inside of my left leg for the better part of a decade and I'm hoping this program is the miracle I need. Thanks!
Anterior, I don’t think I ever felt it in the back. Thibialis raises and calf raises are definitely the exercises I believe to have helped me not get shin splits. I am so sorry to hear that! Mine was the front middle/lower part of my shins. Feels like I broke my leg every single time. I really do believe in this program to help you. It’s a long journey, I still get them if I’m dumb and play basketball for a few hours but it’s now manageable and I can still walk. It’s getting better and better every time. I hope you at least start doing. The tibialis and calf raises. That part of the program goes like this
25 tibialis raises
25 FHL Calve raises
25 tibialis raises
25 kot calve rises
25 Patrick steps each
@@jmend2223 ah ok. Mine is like on the inside of the leg between the calf muscle and the ankle. Anyways that's great to hear and gives me hope. Thank you for the help!
No problem, glad to help. I wouldn’t wish shin splits on my worse enemy. I hope the program goes well for you or just the exercises in general help.
The tib raises, and then stretching them by sitting on your feet.
But if you are getting the pain from running, you are most likely over striding out front, with heel strikes. That then slams your toes down, shock stretching the tib muscles.
Try to land midfoot to forefoot. That will help too.
I would love to use the program but I can not buy it so I really don't know what to do
Spend a couple hours on his UA-cam channel. He basically gives everything away for free. Here’s Zero, if you don’t know something just UA-cam it
Lower body 3x week
Tibialis raises 25 Reps
FHL Calf Raises 25 Reps
Tibialis raises 25 Reps
Patrick Step 25 Reps each
KOT Calf Raises 25 Reps
KOT Squat (Sissy Squat) 5x5
ATG Split Squat 5x5
Upper body/Mobility 2x week (I don’t remember everything about zeros upper body workouts) you can find the ones I missed on his UA-cam channel
DB Pullover with Bench
Superman’s 2-5 second holds
DB Zottemen curl
Piriformis/pigeon stretch
DB External rotation

I’m about 2 weeks into the Zero program. Starting off with really bad patellar tendinitis in my left knee and runners knee in my right. How did you manage pain going forward? Did it slowly go away?
Yes it took me about 4-6 weeks to feel really good in my knees but I felt the difference after the first day. There were a couple times where I felt pain, but I just regressed the exercise til it felt okay then tried to build back up again.
Oh damn, Ive been suffering from really bad quad tendonopathy on both my legs and patellar tendinitis on my left knee. How is it been for you now? I am very close to getting this programme !
How many days per week do you do these exercises?
Hello.. I want to ask you about your experience of the zero program.. It contains 10 specific movements but i don't know how to divide these moves.. 3 times per week but i don't know how to use the program
@@pcassio23 3 times per week
I’m curious about this program. I commented on the kneesovertoesguy’s videos and received no reply. I’m over 50. My knees are shot! My knees are always in pain, and that pain has been limiting my ability to exercise effectively and consistently which has resulted in weight gain. Is it going to work for someone like me. Someone whose years of slow decline has made it all the more difficult to exercise. Is it worth the $60 a month? Is this program TRULY going to help heal me and make it so I can be at the physical fitness level I desire to be?
For your shin splints, what results did you see? how long did it take before you were pain free? I've been dealing with shin splints for abt 5 years and am trying this program. Very encouraged to hear that it worked for you, but could you elaborate? Thanks!
No problem, yes I’ve had the same problem since I was a teenager (26 now lol). I did get shin splints in week 3-4. But I played 2 hours of football, and I have played in years. Now I haven’t had any shin splints after games of basketball or running. Like I used to, I believe that you will get better In no time. Just be smart. I’m sure by week 12, you will notice the difference. Good luck!!
Do you think your could incorporate some of Ben's stuff into a normal leg day?
How many sets and reps you performed in dense program for atg split squat?
I have real bad knee and ankle pain after all the lockdown in activity, I find this quite interesting although it seems unclear if it is exclusively for lifters, Im mainly interested for soccer. Do you think it would be useful for that?
Yes 100% if you want more for soccer. Follow kneefreedom on Instagram he has great content for soccer players.
I have knee and also back pain.. and would like to sign up for the knees over toes guy app. Which program should i do?
I think i will do this program after i recovered from my injury (sore tendons)
Great, can’t wait to hear the progress! If you do feel pain always regress and work your way back up til you don’t feel pain. I made that mistake a couple times.
Hey man which portion of the workout requires equipment. I’ve thought about waiting until having enough money for the equipment before buying the program but seems like zero doesn’t use any?
Zero you just need a wall and some stairs for the atg split squat
Thanks for being so active in the comment section! Did you measure your vertical jump or other athletic parameters at all, and did you see if they had improved?
To be honest no I didn’t, I am more interested in protecting my knees I haven’t been doing any jumping/jump training. But that will be soon. I’m feel back to normal when I just play basketball. No sore knees after and that is what I am going for right now.
I agreed that everyone should join the program/follow Ben's exercise. Prehab is better than rehab.
Random question, what did you film this with? DLSR or your phone?
Do you think this will build strength in knees/legs to enable you to like take impact from falls? I can't jump high or drop down my large steps etc since a patella dislocation so think it could help...
Honesty I wish I could tell you. You should be able to because on of the exercises in dense is taking a large step down. I couldn’t do it pain free till I worked up to it. Now no problem! Hope this helps!
did you have tendonitis and if you did zero fix all the pain or did the next program fix it all
Yes I did, and yes it was around Week 8-9 is when everything felt good
Is there like a basic starting guide to when you should be in this workout because I'm currently obese and 310 lb 6 ft 7 I can still run but the muscles that connect my glutes to my back hurt a lot if I do that
Does this Zero program help people with Condromalacia (cartilage wear and formation of arthiritis) on the knees?
I believe so, he talks about getting stronger in a complete knee bent like atg and kot squats. Your body starts to regenerate new cartilage and strength you ligaments and tendons in the knee as well from the studies he talks about. I haven’t gotten checked but from how I’m feeling with barely any cartilage in my right knee. I feel like a whole new person. Basketball/jumping/hiking (in a smart way this time) no knee pain some soreness still but 95% better after being in the program for almost a year now. Going from 18”box atg split squats to 40Ib atg split squats and kot squats without a warmup are easy now. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.
Did you say it takes 45 minutes to do each "ZERO" workout or the "DENSE"?
Zero. In dense I can sometimes get it done in 30 but usually 40-45 minutes
It takes me more, with filming and uploading my "form" videos
I know I just have a stand now and just leave it in the same place to make it easier to record.
I agree for me it takes 40 minutes to an hour steps 1-7,8,9 in zero, this program has changed my life
i have knee pain but it is caused by weak hip abductors and inner thighs would this program benefit me? thanks!!
Are you able to get flat ground split squat now?
Yes, it felt amazing able to do it around week 3-4 in dense. I now add weight to the flat heel version.
Do you recommend the program threw the app or just the book?.
I am a high school basketball player, if I do the 12 week zero program, will I get significantly stronger? Need to work on lower body, but also upper body
Yes it will make you stronger mostly in your knees and your end range of motion. Are you new to working out in general?
Great video!!!
Thank you, Victoria!
Yo dude, new to your channel you had no problem with the ATG split squat? Like when u did try it u did it perfectly? No elevation no pain?
To be honest the first progression to the last took about 4-6 weeks from what I remember. If you progress right there should never be pain. there was a time when I first got to the floor and had to go back to 2” elevation because I was starting to feel it a little bit. Next workout I made sure I warmed up a little longer and get great again. What I am trying to say it, when you do get there sometimes it was because it was a good day. But now I can do it with no warm up just getting out of bed (yes I’ve done that multiple times just cause I can)!! Hope this helps, you’ll get to it in know time.
Ps: I wish I focused more on the mobility part of the program my hips and hamstring where also stopping me from getting better when I got to the last progression and did for a little while in dense with the Jefferson curls.
@@jmend2223 yeah man, mobility bro, that’s what the coaches told me. They said I need to perfect my Patrick’s step up first with ankle full range of motion. And that’s the reason why I’m having pain doing ATG split squats.
Hey man! what are the reps and sets? and how often during a week did you do these exercises? Also, how are your knees now? can you compete in sports? I feel like this is my final option lol my knee pain is off the roof and I am running out of things to do! cheers man
I highly recommend this Program! Everything was 3x25 except the lot squat and split squat those are 5x5. My knee pain is all but gone now!
@@jmend2223 nice man. I was going to ask if you can compete in sports fine now? Thanks
@@Iceey62 yes, I feel 85%-90% back. My explosive and quickness is coming back!! I’m not getting sore after 2-3 hours of ball (only did this once tho) but 1 hour sessions 2-4x week and haven’t been sore since I’ve I started dense.
@@jmend2223 well damn thats good to hear. Im currently using the 4 stage plan to get back into soccer so will see how that goes. It should help but if not will have to use this program. Cheers man
@@jmend2223 Also, do you add in other exercises whilst doing this program? E.g. strength building and heavy lifts? Thanks man
Stupid question maybe but with zero how many sets do u do cause it says just the number of reps
How many days a week are scheduled in the program?
You think as a mail man myself would benefit from this ?
Two questions, do you have knee pain already? Are you strong in the exercises that are in the program Ex atg split squat, kot squats, Partick step, tibialis raises, Calf raises extra...?
So are your knees pain free during activities now after KOT program?
I would say yes! I do get a little sore every once in awhile if I do a lot of jumping in my workouts but it is 99.9% better then it has been in a long time. I also wore out my cartilage in my right knee so it has a long ways to go still.
@@jmend2223 was the worn cartilage on your meniscus?
Is there an explanation of the complete online pgm? I am wondering if I will have to pay the $50 monthly fee w/o knowing where I am headed..
What is the advantage of following the online pgm? Do u get a daily or weekly or monthly list of exercises? R u encouraged to write comments as u do the exercises? R u encouraged to record the measurements or ur ROM? What r the stages of r the stages pgm , e.g., 1st 12 weeks is called what ? How many stages r in the pgm & What are the names of the stages? Is each stage 12 weeks?
Great question! You get workouts 5x week 3 lower and 2 upper. I wrote down comments all the time. Quentin was my trainer, he replied within 24 hours with an answer or he’ll message me if the video wasn’t recorded at the right angle or any tips to help you make more progress. You progress when you and your trainer think you are ready for knee ability zero and you progress to the next program with standards in each exercise for ex. In dense You have to be able to control the Nordic hamstring all the way down before you go to the next program called athletic muscle I believe. I haven’t gotten there yet. Hope this helps, let me know if you need to know anything else
how many days in a week do you do the program?
I just had my knee surger last dec is ok to do this programs
Would you recommend this workout for someone who is over weight ? And just starting to get back into fitness ?
I would still say yes, just make sure you stay active and doing some kind of cardio whenever and how ever long you can (15-60 min). The only exercise you might have difficulty in is the KOT Squat. It might be a little hard to progress in. Especially if you already have knee pain. I’m sure the coaches have had over weight clients and know how to help you. Let me know how it is going for you soon. Good luck!
I’m overweight and doing the program. I’m just starting week six. I started lifting weights first but quickly realized my joints just weren’t ready. Days later I heard Joe Rogan taking about knees over toes guy, did a little research and then put it off because I’m super cheap. I want to lift heavy so I bit the bullet and signed up. I’m so glad I did, I started not even being able to do the Patrick step but now I am doing that plus making it more difficult and have been able to lower twice the split squat. For cardio just walk as much as you can. Walking is sooo underrated.
Yes! Start by getting Ben’s book on Amazon and consistently do the exercises. Over time you will see a difference. Remember the exercises are designed so you can make them progressively harder as you get stronger.
Nice man! Great review
Thank you E logicool! I appreciate the feedback
Did you also do the stretches? Or just the exercises? And did you do it 3 days a week or everyday?
I didn’t do the stretches in the beginning. I still don’t believe in stretching to much. But I did the mobility workout 1x week. To answer your other question I did it 3x week I missed the upper body a couple times to be honest. Hope this helps.
@@jmend2223 thank you! Helped me tremendously. I will follow this.
Another question! When did you start to get better? And what was your condition!? I have patellar tendonitis
I have a ruptured disk in Back lower back. I torn my meniscus, and I have zero to little cartilage in my knees. Which caused knee pain after playing more then a game of basket. Or if I would squat heavy weight past 90^. I’m being 100% honest right after I did the first workout or more specifically walking backwards and tibialis raises. I felt the blood flow to my knees and I knew this was something good.
@@jmend2223 Wow amazing. It also helped w lower back? I felt the blood flow and automatically feeling relief. Thanks for your swift replies too!
Would this program help if I have Chondromalacia Patella (runner's knee)?
I can’t say because I’m not a runner but what I will say is. I can run and jump a lot more without pain now. Hope this helps, if you need anything else let me know.
@@jmend2223 Thank you. So you recommend it for the pain? I'm not a runner either. I've got it because of muscle imbalance. I was wondering if people with this condition can work out pain free or not, like do weightlifting and some cardio.
I can’t say it will work for you 100% but I can say it as helped me tremendously and thousands of others. I say try it, it’s half off your first month with the code. I don’t make money on this, that is his own code for you.
how many times a week do you do this
You can either do the upper and lower workouts together for around 1 hour 15 minutes 3x week or you can split them for around 30-45 minutes per workout for 5x week. Hope this helps!
My guy Joey let’s go
Thanks man, I forgot I scheduled this lol. I need to edit it a little more
@@jmend2223 Ao.let me get this right. You sign up for 3 monthly sessions that will equal your 12 week training for level 1? Everyone I go on the links it says monthly. Why is there not a link that just covers the 12 weeks?
@@christine1962ful because it is month to month. You don’t have to train with them them the full 12 weeks. To be honest if you don’t have knee pain and want to be more athletic/strong. You might be able to start with dense which is his second program. This program involves weights and equipment. Hope this helps
@@jmend2223 YFirst off, thanks for replying. I am starting to get knee pain and I think it's due to wear and tear, and degeneration; I'm 59. I'm looking to strengthen my knees! I will take the little I have picked up from KOT and add to my regimen and see how I fair. He's on my To Do List but I'm focung on my Core Play programme at the moment. Keep up the good work. Wishing you happiness and abundance...🧘🏾♀️❤🙏🏾
@@christine1962ful I would suggest, tibialis raises 25 reps , FHL Calve rasies 25 reps, more tibialis raises 25 reps, Kot Calf raises 25 reps and the Patrick step. They only take about 10-15 minutes to do. You can even use them as a lower body warm up. Let me know if this helps, it is basically his zero program. Minus the kot squat and the atg squat.
thanks for sharing
cant wait to see u play sports
Thank you, I probably won’t be recording that on this channel. But I have been playing basketball about 2-3x week!
Welll, i have hes program open in a tab for around a week now... i guess, theres no more need to hesitate.. ir eally want to run, but am unable... this just might me my one ticket to getting back to races, maybe i can start to think about a full marathon or some longer distance thriathlons. For now i basically dont train running as it usually reduce distance i can run in a long run, so i do that only in a race... :D whats funny- my knees never hurt in a race, only in training.. :D
I’m sure you will get great results. I’ve stopped my training with him to do more plyometric training and specific basketball. I haven’t add any knee soreness. I will eventually jump back on again after a year I needed something new.
What I gleaned from this video is that this man has glasses
KOT has saved my knees
Same here!!! What program are you on @Turboman
@@jmend2223 no program, I just do the movement exercises I’ve seen him do in his videos in varied reps and sets depending on how much I feel I can handle while still pushing myself. Once a week seems to be enough at the moment sometimes even longer between sessions because i wait until I’m fully healed before going again.
I am doing something similar now. Wanted to add some variety to my training. Will go back again
Thank you
Does this help with ankle pain and flat feet?
I didn’t have that for the most part. But it will help your ankle mobility. Are you able to train barefoot or with zero drop shoes? Doing the regular exercises with either zero drop or barefoot will strengthen your feet. But be careful to start slowly.
Is there a maintenance program?
I’m not to sure, I’ll ask. But I’ve now stopped training for now and have gone to 1x week kot lower body and 1x week kot upper body. I wanted to start a little bit different of training for a little bit
How many reps and sets do y’all perform?
The isolation exercises in the beginning are 3x25 and the kot and split squat are 5x5. How this answers your question. Let me know if it doesn’t. Thank you for watching as well
Can i do all the 10 movements each session?
He doesn’t recommend it. Neither do I, when your already doing a squat to almost failure why go to a lunge where you won’t be a strong/make slower progress. If you need to because of lifestyle or time the later exercises might not progress or get stronger as quickly.
it's definitely better at x1.25 speed :)
How many times per week did you do the program? Can it be done everyday?
For knee ability zero it is 3x week strength and 2x week upper abs Mobility. In dense he has you do upper abs lower days 5x week almost everyday if you do the jumping workout it’s 6x week
@@jmend2223 Thank you :-)
@@felippecorreia no problem, good luck on the program. If you need anything else let me know!
How did it affect your vertical jump
i will be honest i didn't test my vertical. this was mostly for my knees, but i will be starting the jump workouts soon. Tristan is the name of the channel he has a good review on how the program helped him increase his vertical jump. it was titled 3 months on dense i believe.
Marketing king
Yes that is true! I’m just trying to spread the word about this amazing program!
For my linking, toooooo much talk! Don't forget, after all, this is a VIDEO! Seating in front of a Camera & talking … I don't know, if this … ?? --- AGAIN, this IS a VIDEO-"TUTORIAL" = LESS talk-ING, instead MORE »DEMONSTRATING = »» MORE SHOWING how it is DONE!
I apologize Martinez, I was in the same place you were a few months ago. The Knee ability zero program is already on his channel and website basically free you just have to watch a couple videos. This was just my review/experience on the program as a whole
@@jmend2223 Because I ALREADY know that they are some Video on this topic -special from the KNEEOVERTOESGUY himself. I added what I said. I am NOT a "hater" or so. See it as constructive CRITIC …! But I also "HATE" that many people use the KNEEOVERTOESGUY for their Videos to generate more "CLICKS & LIKES". So sorry to say, but this Video leans to wards that!
@@martinezlopez4699 I apologize if that is what it sounded like to you. I just wanted to spread the good word about his program to more people. I didn’t think this would blow up like this. I just wanted to help people if they were deciding to join the program a little more information on how it affected someone with bad knee pain. My other video about dense has is a tutorial with my experiences in there as well if that helps.
@@jmend2223 In general, NOTHING against that. The more, the better. I get that! BUT the Title says: ”… My 12 Week Review". As such, I want to see YOUR …! In ONE sentence you can/SHOULD mention your RESOURCE, where you get it. But AGAIN in O-N-E sentence! That should take only about 5 SECONDS, right? From there, YOUR »ACTION 'only' should be displayed. AGAIN: to be understood only as a constructive critic!! REMEMBER: I personally, do NOT get anything out of me taking time and writing back and so forth …;-))
Well thank you very much I’ll think about that next video. Have a good day Martinez!
ROKP ALL DAY
Yes, and tibialis raises. Or as Ben would say putting money in the back!!
It starts with a promo code. So it's not so much a review as an infomercial/advertisement.
If it was a promo I would tell everyone that. This is just a link for them to join the program.
@@jmend2223 I think KoT guy has some good content, so I believe that you genuinely feel this way about the program. But, if you want ppl to see it as a trustworthy, unbiased review, it's best not to include a discount code like is usually included in sponsored content/ads. If the code is a generic one that has nothing to do with you, I would suggest to explain that you are simply passing it along for those interested, but you don't receive any compensation. If you are receiving some type of compensation, that should be disclosed outright, and very straightforwardly. The link is no issue, just the discount/promo code.
@@GP-qz6kk that is true, I will do that next time. Thanks! I just didn’t see it as a big thing, thank you for your feedback tho. Much appreciated
Dude looks like if Nick Wright had some muscle mass
Nice try, Nick wright
Sorry I don’t know what you mean??
So I'm sure the program is actually great but when you mention an affiliate link, you just lose all credibility
I understand what you mean, people promoting anything for money. Wouldn’t it great to help people and make an income from it? Plus it isn’t an affiliate link they don’t have that yet. It is just a link to join.
I used the same link + code straight from kneesovertoesguy IG, which is not this guy! I just started today after looking into it a bunch, I think it is worth the investment! I also agree that if he is able to get some sort of income from promoting something that can change someone's life, he should!
