@@mbappelafraude I'm at the second stage doing squats and Bulgarian squats as well as other exercises to increase load. Some advice if you're injured avoiding fall damage will help recovery immensely. I found sled sprints and bunny hops effective because I could still run and jump but the amount of force when I hit the ground was less.
@@skullknight4134 If your still getting the same injury it probably means your exceeding the load on your knees in whatever exercise your doing. let it rest to lower inflammation. if it's still hurts it's not the thing I had. You shouldn't be overdoing it, you want to lower the amount of stress on your knees. use the exercises in the video to build up your load tolerance. Absolutely don't push yourself, you will increase inflammation. It's slow but eventually your knees will be strong enough to handle the load from sports or whatever.
I'm 19 year old from Nigeria training for track and field and I have been suffering for patella tendonitis on my right leg and quad tendonitis on my left leg ( plus a sharp pain at the front of my right ankle) for over a year now. All this was because I tried lifting very heavy and doing high-volume plyometrics (no coach) My thought moving forward was to give up on my athletic dreams, and this set me into a state of depression for a long time. That was until I came across this channel, and started implementing what I learnt. I've been seeing slow but constant improvements ever since. In a nutshell, I just want to say a big THANK YOU to squat university for giving me hope and bringing me out of my dark times. God bless🌹
Tendinitis does not heal with rest only with an overload of 2 to 5 reps per set of 10 to 20 sets every 3rd day for 2 weeks. So this vid is spot on. Do not rest you will just come back and be in pain again
I think this is exactly my issue. I was using Ben’s knees over toes program last year, but that step down move you showed in the squat rack here made my knee really really bad. I should have stopped when it got painful but I thought I was gonna work my way through it. Frustrating because I see everyone else saying that that move is what made them better. It absolutely destroyed my knee.
@@samross8060 Hope so man. Basketball season almost here. I had to stop playing completely last summer in late June cuz it got so bad. Hoping it’s not gonna be as much of an issue this year. I pretty much stopped running and working my legs at all since last summer just to give the knee a long break. Just recently started getting back to it. Light workouts. Basically doing knees over toes zero program again. Minus that one move lol. Hopeful I’m not gonna spend another summer feeling old and decrepit haha 😂
@@brodyallard9011 Good. Those issues from the step up totally gone now. Back to working out normally. Haven’t gotten back on a program but eventually I will do it again.
Thank you so much, SU. Knee tendinopathy has caused me a great deal of anguish these past two years. I really appreciate all of the content uploads on the subject
because giving good advice is not easy, i would say that most people (9 out of 10) of people you will encounter and hear advice from in this life, are wrong advices that only worked for them or other people and it will not work for you because its not personalized adviced or scientifically proven 😊
I got scammed by a physical therapist over this. Bro made me pay 4000 dollars, told me I had a bone disease and had me stretching my hamstrings and walking on a treadmill. Bro didn’t even know both of my knees hurt and not just the left one (I dont even know how bro came tot hat conclusion) after halfway through
Since 1 year i have pain on my left knee. İ am playing football 1-2 times per week. After making this spanish squats my left glute extremely sore. now i am thinking because of weak glute, it puts more pressure on my knee.
Yup, I just yesterday did box jumps with no warm up for legs and for the first time in my life I learned why coaches warn about plyometrics. And now I see this. Aaron's teachings haven't gone to waste though. Deep long pause squat with overhead weight and single-leg touchdown squat allowed me to do my pr squat workout without issues, even though after box jumps I felt like I might not be able to do even normal load.
Learning how to land is also essential to prevent wear on your knees. When you increasing the time of landing by bending your knees on impact, you are decreasing the force due to delta p / by delta t= force. Notice how he is not bending his knees not nearly enough when his feet land and he is still as stiff as a board. Physics is the main factor to this problem.
Just now experiencing a more intense injury/pain from this after a game of basketball. Has me feeling like I won’t be my old self anymore. I hope this helps
This is such a shit annoying injury, have had it for 3 to 4 years now and just worked through it. Finally started to research it as going up and down stairs became unbearable, just read your blog fingers crossed I get this fixed now!
Every movement here is one that I would feel pain in (specifically my right knee on the inside - left half - of the patella tendon). Am I just supposed to push through it and hope the extra strength fixes it?
what would be the time suggestions for each step. How much time should I stay on step 1 and the rest? I have jumpers knee and a bit of arthritis on the right side. No one seems to be able to help. I have already spent too much money on physio and just wanna try something new.
My physical therapist had me do single leg decline squats. She said that that band thing is static, so it does not do the necessasy work. I did do them in the first week after injury before seeing a physical therapist though, and I am considering doing them before each session of my sport
i mean maybe im wrong but this seems straightforward, he literally is just not bending his knees when he lands so obviously hes gonna ruin them because hes just making the bones hit eachother. If im wrong feel free to tell me why 👍
Hey man, just wanted to ask. Why did you put tendonitis at the video description? I was told by my teacher that patellar tendinopathy wasn’t an imflammatoire reaction in the knee, but a disbalance between load and capability.
I have this bad and I was just messing around pretending like I could dunk in my house 😂 I’m so glad there is hope cause me knee has been hurting for a week now
I don’t have the band so I have always held onto a counter top or something and like teased my way down into the potions making sure my tendon is taking load but only as much as it’s capable
I straight up cant load with bulgarians, the balance is complete ass and I get nothing out of it, right now im trying to load leg press before i move to squats
Im a 16yr kicker on my Highschool football team. After kicking for a while, the soft part in front of my knee gets extremely swollen and locking out my knee hurts. What can I do to fix/prevent this?
