Listen to what he says carefully. He specifically says regarding Toe Touch Step Ups, "if this is now pain free, then you're on the right track." So it's not for everyone.
@@matthewanthony4606 I detect sarcasm. I hope I'm wrong. A lot of people miss those kind of details when someone is talking fast. People think this is the cure-all for their knee pain when they may need other interventions. Be helpful or be silent.
I had an Olympic weight lifting coach in college and you are exactly right. Single leg squats like yours are super important. One leg is usually used more or developed more than the other. It definitely helps not only stretch but the technique helps strengthen muscles around the knee
I tried knees over toes guy's method and it wasn't working for me, so I tried out squat university's method and it worked. Knees over toes guy wants you to start out with full range of motion on the knee joint and slowly increase the resistance. Squat university wants you to start out with your body weight and slowly increase the range of motion. Once my knees were healthy enough I started doing full range of motion bodyweight squats (I call them deep knee bends). Single leg squats paired with the deep knee bends healed my knees.
Did you actually do the Knees Over Toes Zero program, or just watch his UA-cam videos? In Zero he's very clear that you're never supposed to work through pain. It's all bodyweight and he has you starting with a small range of motion and increasing both ROM and resistance over time.
@@samuelgizaw7899 both my petallar tendons and my left leg quad tendon. Took a few months of careful training, but if you just recently tweaked it in a workout or something you can just lower the weight for a few weeks then work back up to normal working weight
@@whitemakesright2177 I just watched the UA-cam videos. But my knees were so bad that walking down stairs gave me sharp pains so I had to start with a very small range of motion. That's why the single leg touchdown worked well for me.
KoT Guy always emphasizes pain free ROM. And provides regressions even to the point of walking backwards on a flat surface gradually working your way to walking backwards up hill...etc. Glad you’re figuring out what works for your knees though.
Yup, and you can graduate this approach by just doing the downward part on the single leg and going back up on two legs. So you just hit the eccentric movement. I did that one with a kettlebell in hand and gradually added more height to the stack. It took a few months but very good results for patellofemoral pain and patellar tendonitis that just were not getting better. Now I'm back playing basketball.
Best way to learn how to squat..sit BACK not down. I squatted 865lbs in a meet.Torn ACL with 2 screws no issues with my knees then and not now. Torn my ACL in High School years before I competed in Powerlifting.
So many pro athletes are coming to you with issues in their mechanics and stabilizing muscles. Makes me wonder how many unprofessional athletes go un treated with muscle imbalances or mechanics issues. I think I need to start a UA-cam channel
I will Guinea pig this for everyone I broke my back was paralyzed started walking again then herniated a disc which atrophied my quad. I’m working out again but my quad is weak as hell and I’m sick of it. Starting this April 10th 2023 and I’ll report back may 15 2023 with results. If you are reading this and are interested if this worked for me comment to me around may 15 so I don’t forget and I can find this video again.
Hope youre doing well. Ive been into this kind of corrective movement for several years now and i like it. In october, i shattered my pattella into 15 peices. Major surgery. Im right there with ya my fellow Guinea pig friend.
If I have an obvious weakness on one side in my single leg squat can I completely negate the strong side in single leg work or do more sets/reps on the weak side or still do them evenly????
The whole ice thing is counter productive anyway. Yea it might make pain go away for a bit but drawing blood away from the area increases how long it takes to recover and for some reason we have actual doctors who don’t know this
I do shoulder stuff with low weights it is hilarious to watch people watching me and making comments to their associates and laughing so this stuff should really crack them up.
yeah, when you are young, you have no idea what knee pain is about. Im 60 and i walk, stretch, used to jog etc..... if your body isnt going to do it - you aint going to do it no matter what good intensions you have. Welcome to old age - the one you think will never happen to you!
I think he mentions in a different video to place your free leg where it’s needed to let you complete the repetition and keep your pelvis even (parallel to floor)
The problem is he shows the pistol squat as the end goal for 1 leg squat ability, yet the pistol required almost no hip hinge ( it is almost a completely knee and ankle dominant movement )
Stupid click bait. If you have knee pain, go get it diagnosed by a medical professional instead of trying to exercise your way out of it and likely making it worse.
Whichever leg is on the book is doing the work (therapy), but it's probably a good idea to do both legs if you have the time. This will help build balance in your body and hopefully prevent issues with your "good" knee. Cheers and best wishes!
What if just bending the knee hurts? I can’t do a 1 inch squat without pain right now ben like this for a week and a half, it’s definitely annoying me at this point
I’m trying this right now but I have the problem that my foot isn’t aligned with my knee. Currently I can point out my foot a little to make my knee go straight but I don’t feel 100% comfortable in the movement, no pain tho. Any tips?
@@samuelgizaw7899 uhhh i’d say if u have a band side plank clamshell is imo the best. if not u could try kickouts. rlly build that mind muscle connection with the kickouts tho or else, imo, its not effective at all. but preferably get a band they help a TON.
Had knee pain for close to a year and started doing step up progression and variations and the pain is gone. Like GONE, gone, SON! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIOIIIIIFJRJRJIEJRIDIRJJRIDJDJRJRJRBBEJDNFBRNFFOOOOOOO.... for real tho, the pain is gone.
Ok. But what's the steps from there? This doesn't properly recreate a squat pattern where the knees travel further over the toes. You're not usually hinging do far back with squats.
I have chondromalacia patella grade 2 its kinda pain-free now it's been 2years. But whenever I do single leg squat it kinda grind my patella. What should I do?
Haha this is me EXACTLY. Grinding feeling is terrible. Not sure what to do. Some movements are pain free but cause grinding, and I might get irritarion afterwards
just do a neck squat bruh 🤣 but in all seriousness - you need prednisone/prednisolone 20mg tabs (40mg/30mg/20mg/10mg lowering the dosage within 1-2 week duration as the symptoms better) possibly a dexamethasone/betamethasone orthopedic doc injecting - if the pain is excrutiating, neck orthese, infrared lamp, a shatsu massage pillow and neck pain stretching excersizes (you tube)

Well this is timely. I did some bodyweight lunges for the first time in forever and can see that I could have stronger knees.
Thank you so much! 🙏 I’ve been dealing with knee pain for over a month and your knee videos have been very helpful!
Never thought of chest forward and using something to hold onto for balance... I need this...
Yeah, I appreciate his modification of starting out this way. So much more accessible than single leg pistol squat form.

Ice actually delays healing and only reduces pain for some time.

Will this work for someone that has 2 knee replacements? Seems like this is something that would help. Thanks!
You're the best
ADvance level isometrcic version of split squat would build really strong knees
yes me, thank you for this!
Should you train both knees at the same time even if you have pain in just one?
Do both sides but bias the painful side.
I've tried everything under the sun Including this and my knee pain just continues to get worse 😢.

I am 18 years old and I have very bad knee. But I want to strength it and I training every day to complete my dream!!!
Is it okay to round your back when going down? Or should your back be straight?
Its fine
Can you explain the science behind this? I see some videos of this kind but almost no one explains why this work
Knee is often because of under trained muscles.
Do you have anything on shinesplints
Does it make sense to do several reps with your free leg in different positions, in front, in back, etc.?
I think he mentions in a different video to place your free leg where it’s needed to let you complete the repetition and keep your pelvis even (parallel to floor)
What if your knees pop and crack when trying to do a PISTOLD SQUAT OR JUST REGULAR SQUATTING ?
Does this also help when you have chondropathia patella level 3?
what is this causes sharp pain in heel?
Why hip hinge be for the squat ? Is this to engage a better stretch?
Any tips for fluid in knee
Will this work for me?. I had total knee replacement surgery three weeks ago and need to get to full mobility, I am also 74 years old.
The problem is he shows the pistol squat as the end goal for 1 leg squat ability, yet the pistol required almost no hip hinge ( it is almost a completely knee and ankle dominant movement )
Does this help with patellar maltracking?
I have that problem.
Same
I can regain it no problem, but my meniscus will hurt like crap after that
Balance is my biggest issue with single leg
How about ankle pain during body weight squats? Any remedy?
This dude covers that in more depth than anyone. Search his page
would this also help with someone who has locked knees while standing? trying to have soft knees while standing.
Maybe one day I can do a Pistol Squad. Never thought it possible.
Dose this work if your knees have been bone on bone already for a long time???
Is that way better than pistol squats?
"hinge until you feel your glutes"
So I'm starting to realize what my problem is.
Amen
Can you do anything about a weird feeling for the inside of the knee? It's the muscle at the edge of the bone on the left side of the right knee
that is bursitis
Stupid click bait. If you have knee pain, go get it diagnosed by a medical professional instead of trying to exercise your way out of it and likely making it worse.
What about ankle pain? My ankle is constantly swelling and sometimes in pain. What then? 🤷♀️
Imma get kick out to the left and right. Even if I try to make them straight. So do I have the one still doing over the toe? O
How do you save shorts?
Will this help my ankle also

Also you need to know for sure if youre actually "grinding" the inner surface of your patella and femur together cuz that is super not good.
