Dr. Christle and Dr. Mike are wonderful people and a joy to be around. So is their pup 🐾 Thank you for having me at your home/gym. I am a believer in your Full ROM system, so I’m glad I got to show my/ATG’s support of what you’re doing!
You are a big reason I started focusing on my feet and knees because my lack of mobility! I started watching you well before Dr Mike as well. This convo is amazing tho.
Hope you got to see all Dr. Mike’s Lamborginis! 😂 Your love of basketball and aspiration for pro reminds me of Max Schmarzo! He’s using his years of training experience to train himself and is pursuing pro. Never give up!
Same, I bought the slanted squating platform... and started from scratch, just body weight, up to 140lbs now; every other day to failure for a few sets.. as well as pulling the sled once a week. Because of my knee pain from running in my teens/20s, I thought I was just done for, nothing helped; no amount of rest fixed the problem (despite doctors recommendations). These two things have eliminated the knee pain and made my whole lower body function better in general
I owe Ben Patrick the recovery of my knee after a torn meniscus, I spent one year after surgery in pain, limping, knee brace, sometimes a cane, and none of the doctors and physiotherapists I saw helped me. I tried everything I could, saw him on a JRE episode where he recommended to walk backwards for 15mins a few days, I thought it was crazy but I tried it anyway, the pain was almost completely gone, and I didn't have the limp, to wear the knee brace, or the cane, I signed up for his ATG program, and after 3 months I was able to run, do boxing, and fully healed. I love this guy!
Same. 43 and I can play full court basketball 2-3 days a week now and I have zero pain. When I started his exercises three years ago I was good for a day a week, but if I even thought about a second game I was toast😂
@@deebop3539 Give it a try, walk backwards for a week for 10mins a day, start with a low difficulty (no slope, slow and steady speed), and work your way up if you can, chose the intensity wisely keeping in mind that at no point it should be a painful exercise. Quick tip, push with your heels, not toes, you should focus on activating the quads, not the calves. After my first attempt I immediately noticed the increased stability in the knees, like if everything was tighter in a good way, it's hard to describe. I encourage you to go try it and return in a week and report back :)
This might be the most wholesome comment section on any video uploaded with Dr. Mike. Really speaks volumes about the kind of person Ben Patrick is and the amount of lives he’s touched through his work. Fantastic interview!
This dude is a living example of what happens when you push the gaslighting aside and ACTUALLY take the time to study things and help others out. Good for him.
True, he looks like an extremely average guy in every way imaginable. The average person would assume that the average might usually assume that would mean he should have maximum relatability.
@@TheKneesovertoesguy I have very minimal patellar space if any at all, shrapnel tore through my meniscus and my ACL. I ran in my 20s, but I never squatted and dead lifted or did any leg exercises except jump on my runs. I used to love jumping. I had a good vertical for 6 foot. I was a good sprinter too in the 40 yard dash 4.5 seconds at 200 lbs. Anyways, I started squatting and doing leg exercise exercises like dead lift as well about seven years ago. The range of motion in my right knee is lacking and it’s getting worse.
It’s incredible to see someone who presents self deprecating humor interview someone who takes gratitude very seriously. Dr. Mike even seemed momentarily uncomfortable with the premise between his jokes about his body building career and his massive amounts of money. The responses from Ben and his genuine compliments are as inspiring as any of the content of the interview about knees over toes
It was awesome how Ben was just not having Dr.mike downplay all the great things he has done for the fitness community, he definitely deserves his flowers for helping a lot of people get into and improve in their fitness journey.
@@jordanlimantara1814Agree 100%!!! I don’t even know who the guy is doing the interview. My first impression was how unprofessional he seemed referring to the porn star in the first 30 seconds…he embarrassed himself. Now, Ben, on the other hand shines like the true star that he is!!! He and his wife and their program has helped me immensely!!! I owe my knee ability and mobility to them! @kneesovertoesguy and @kneesovertoesgirl ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏. Real deal! It works!!!
This 68 year old grandmother is grateful for both you gentlemen. I am early on my journey for strength and mobility training and your videos are so helpful!! My progress is so motivating. My husband has joined me on this journey 4 weeks ago as he has seen my improvement and he is stronger, more flexible and feeling better as well. Thank you again.
This is probably my favorite interview so far. Easy to follow, a couple incredible people giving solid clear advice. Don't need to remember a lot of vocabulary. I love learning new words but sometimes the conversations can end up VERY dense.
Has some knee pain for months after being bed ridden for weeks from a pretty serious surgery in early 2022. Found KneesOverToesGuy, I started walking backwards on rural roads with my dog walks. Increasing the intervals of backwards and also larger hills and inclines. Added a weight vest gradually increasing the weight. 100 plus miles later going into the fall, my legs were stronger than before and knee pain gone. Now of course i have added hypertrophy resistance training into my life and not coasting off former athletic career. I use the RP diet app and bust my ass in the gym. At 38 i have never felt better. Thanks to yall!!!🤙🏻✌️
This was a special podcast. Love both these guys. Anybody else think these two should collab more often? They are both incredibly passionate about health and Dr Mike’s silliness and Ben’s serious sensitivity really complement each other.
This is nuts. I was watching the KOTG critique this morning, trying to figure out how to integrate ATG exercises in the RP hypertrophy app and 💥 here is an interview!
Well, almost all of them are not really ATG exercises. They had other names before. I don't think it matters though, anyways. I don't think the app is programmed with things like the SFR of each exercise. I think it figures it out from the data you enter from your workouts over time, since different people likely have a different SFR from the same exercise. I haven't used the app, but I'd assume there's a way to add your own title to an exercise, along with which muscles it works, so the app can program it and adjust the program based on your feedback about soreness and fatigue and such.
Almost half a year ago I started doing Nordics (reverse and standard) thanks to his recommendations and my knee I injured squatting that hurt for over a year hasn't hurt since.
A few years ago I destroyed my right knee. Pain, imbalance, and doctors couldn’t help me. I’m on the track walking my morning 10k steps right now, as my warmup before the elliptical for 60 minutes, and I was just thinking about how I used to dread walking down the street. As I remembered, I opened TH-cam feeling grateful, and what did I find? The very man whose program saved me when doctors couldn’t. Put in the work, keep your vision of recovery strong, and you’ll come out of the other side with bulletproof knees using this program.
Honestly, you guys are the 2 smartest and most useful/helpful in Daily life. Have changed my life. They need to be showing this is schools. Y’all should start a pod !
I suffer from chronic knee pain-doctors say I have the knees of a 68-year-old. Chronic pain isn’t just physical; it consumes your thoughts. When you’re alone, it’s always there, an unrelenting companion. The doctors blamed genetics and said there’s nothing to be done. They suggested the gym but gave no guidance, so I spent my savings on trainers with no results. Now I can’t afford help, and the pain is still with me. This interview is so charming-I’ll check out his channel. Maybe I’ll find something new to try. He’s been through so much and still found a way forward. I hope I can, too. Thank you for the inspiration
Ben is the reason why I never got surgery for my 3 bulging discs. Using his methods to slowly rebuild myself from the ground up. Dr Mike is the reason I’m back to lifting after a 10 year hiatus.
Discovered Ben about 4 /5 years ago whilst experiencing knee pain and searching for what to do. Slowly incorporated the split squat and knee pain gone. I'm loving this interview.
Learned about ATG split squats, tib raises, and backwards walking from this man. I always recommend these for anyone with knee pain. These 3 cured my sharp knee pain
We have to remember that Mike has a specific avenue of advice, truly top notch, but people like "Knees Over Toes Guy" are a great example of those great trainers that have a different avenue for greatness. "Squat University Guy" is another great example.
Squat University has helped people, that much is undeniable, but they hurt their credibility with claims that are as outrageous as what Ben Patrick is fighting against: they oppose spinal flexion.
As a Doctor of Physical Therapy. THANK YOU. Platforms like this are important for both patients and clinicians. Channels like these as well as E3 Rehab and others are definitely molding rehabilitation into a much more effective tool.
Dr Mike, I really want to thank you for all your advice. I was starting a weight loss journey when I found RP. It's 15 months later and ive lost 150 pounds. Even better, I've developed a very healthy lifestyle through your eating advice and your full ROM lifting approach has almost completely mitigated the pain and limitations from my knee and back injuries. I've accomplished a lifelong dream of becoming a rock climber and received a perfect bill of health from my doctor. THANK YOU!
I can hear and relate to the shake in his voice when discussing being in pain and everyone you were told knew what they were doing professionally just shrugged off your situation as imagined or lesser. Being 33 as well, I remember how teachers and nurses and coaches went from gung-ho about things to straight up burnt out and indifferent in the mid to late 90’s and early 2000s.
I’m telling you. This guys advice on sled push/pull, heel elevated squats, kneeling hip flexor stretches got rid of my chronic knee pain from constant high impact sports such as football, basketball, and soccer
@@amsub24no I never stopped playing sports. I still lift 3-5 times a week while participating in recreational sports twice a week. But by addressing weak links within my lower body, the pain slowly disappeared.
I’ve been watching Ben Patrick since he started making vids, & the podcasts he been on, this was the first time I heard him genuinely laugh. Great vid 🫡
Holy crap this guy is telling the story of my childhood, only my sport was volleyball. The issues started at 9 and had my first surgery 2 weeks after my 15th birthday. I am proud to say at 42, I have better range of motion and less pain now than I did at 18.
Ben and Mike are the top 2 people I use for helping people as a Personal trainer. Absolutely loved this episode so glad you both can collaborate. You both have helped me so much on my fitness journey ❤
I added some of the exercises he recommends into my daily life and it had a dramatic impact on my knee pain post leg day. I’m so excited for this interview.
I have always admired Ben's generosity in providing good helpful content on youtube, and inspired by all the comments from people who have had life-changing help from his methods. Glad to hear his life story and the events that influenced him.
From my experience every single physiotherapist with a recent degree or who has received a recent catch up course on the latest science is implementing progressive overload to reinforce injured tissue My mom broke her arm this year, with ulnar bone head pulverised at the wrist, the prescription was to restrict the movements but not immobilise the wrist : No plaster cast, but a flexible splinter instead; With regular reinforcement session with a professional Every single physio i've seen for my knee, my hamstring or even my disc inflammation prescribed a set of progressively overloading program of exercises Things are going in the right direction providing the future generation of docs get into the position to deprogram the people's belief and current generations of doctors are willing to update their data and operate changes in their prescriptions You guys are making a difference !
I will use this opportunity of being very early to say how I love those long from videos. I really enjoy listening to them while training, although I must admit that I am in fact in my bath right now.
This episode is pure gold! I've always admired Ben's work, but this was the first talk that truly gave me insight into the challenges he's faced. His personality resonates deeply with mine, and his experience motivates me to keep working out and to pursue the right approach. Thank you for this!
Collab that needed to happen. I'm glad for this message of confronting the movements you thought you couldn't do with gradual progression into harder expressions of that movement. I was told very directly in my early 20s that I'd never lift even modest weight overhead by a couple very well trained and I'd like to think well-meaning orthos. I believed that up until this last year when I started my weight lifting journey. Now I can properly strict press 135 for reps and I can see bodyweight ohp for reps somewhere in 2025.
Great interview. I’ve been nursing a hand/grip injury for months. I spent months basically trying to do nothing with the hand if I could help it, and made zero progress. Over the last month I started doing dumbbell wrist curls and reverse wrist curls at the end of my workouts. It’s improved immensely.
I was dreaming of this collab, you guys are two of the most educational people on the internet regarding exercise. I've learnt so much from both of you it's unbelievable, and I'm not only talking about exercise stuff. The ammount of passion, dedication, honesty and knowledge you guys have is contagious. Ever since I've watched your videos I feel more confident and capable to help everyone at my gym. Thank you so much!
❤This is the best one I have seen yet..Very in depth..Please do more of them this way..With people this way..Ben Patrick I don.t know you or have heard of you in the UK..Very honest and very good questions to..THANK YOU TO BOTH..FOR THAT
Absolutely love the longer form interview videos. Didn't really know or interact with TheKneesovertoesguy's content but he seems like such a genuine and nice guy. Would love to see the gym video!
You could see the pain in his eyes as he talked about his story. The relationship we have with our bodies in our formative early years is a powerful one that can change the course of our life. It can alter everything. If you're reading this bro, just want to say that I'm sorry you had to go through this. And thanks for turning your pain into motivation to help others! ✊
68 yo, Ben helped me attain my first full squats. Learning full range of motion and understanding WHY it is a good thing has made me injury free lifting weights and able to run once again. Thanks, Ben!!
Theres mind muscle connection but theres also mind joint connection. Workig through injuries has given me the appreciation for both and why I find the lived experience of Ben so inspiring
Professional athlete with multiple knee and hip surgeries - found ATG/currently using coming off (another) PCL tear. Best my entire lower body has felt in years.
This video couldn't have come out at a better time. I have had some knee pain (Baker's cyst in the back of the knee, and a strain of the patellar tendon), saw a doctor, and what I got was "avoid bending the knee, don't squat or kneel if possible, limit going up the stairs, etc." The way he said that made me feel like I was going to be handicapped in a way, for the rest of my life. I've skipped leg day for a couple of months (until I had no pain in patellar tendon), then I started coming back slowly; the only time I felt pain was when I ramped up the weight too quickly or trained legs too quickly after the previous session. Having watched this video, I know that my approach has been correct, and that you can get better if you just keep pushing, even if just little by little. Thanks!
21y old with patella alta on my left knee. Almost broke my patella by doing pistol squats because I didn’t know I had this condition. Started doing ATG split squats and within 3 months I was able to do pistols squats again. This guy’s awesome
I have never given money to this guy, but just from the free stuff he puts online, and similar channels like Squat University, I was able to rehabilitate a damaged meniscus from a point when I would wake up in the morning with swelling that would limit my range of motion, to waking up pain free and squatting 225 deep for reps just last week. Completely changed the trajectory of my health since last year. 29 years old and I just want the next few decades of my life to be pain free and fun.
Dr. Christle and Dr. Mike are wonderful people and a joy to be around. So is their pup 🐾 Thank you for having me at your home/gym. I am a believer in your Full ROM system, so I’m glad I got to show my/ATG’s support of what you’re doing!
Gwen is a treasure. You’re welcome and thank you for trekking out to collaborate with us!
Thank you for everything Ben.
Don't know if you'll see this, but can your stuff help someone who has bone to bone contact in his knees due to really bad artrosis? Thanks
You are a big reason I started focusing on my feet and knees because my lack of mobility! I started watching you well before Dr Mike as well. This convo is amazing tho.
Hope you got to see all Dr. Mike’s Lamborginis! 😂
Your love of basketball and aspiration for pro reminds me of Max Schmarzo! He’s using his years of training experience to train himself and is pursuing pro. Never give up!
Not the collab we asked for, but the one we kneed-ed.

Ha-ooooo

Ben gave me my life back. 27 year old male. At 25 I was broke not able to walk from work. Now I am chasing my dreams able to run.
Wow. Well done! 🤝
Happy for you!

I learned most of these techniques from a sports medicine doctor. We need more primary care physicians to have some background in sports medicine.
Same. 43 and I can play full court basketball 2-3 days a week now and I have zero pain. When I started his exercises three years ago I was good for a day a week, but if I even thought about a second game I was toast😂
All you did was the walking backwards? I have a torn meniscus also.
@@deebop3539 Give it a try, walk backwards for a week for 10mins a day, start with a low difficulty (no slope, slow and steady speed), and work your way up if you can, chose the intensity wisely keeping in mind that at no point it should be a painful exercise. Quick tip, push with your heels, not toes, you should focus on activating the quads, not the calves.
After my first attempt I immediately noticed the increased stability in the knees, like if everything was tighter in a good way, it's hard to describe.
I encourage you to go try it and return in a week and report back :)

did you stop playing sports while you did those exercises? if so, it was probably a load management issue than the exercises

Fantastic conversation!
My two top health guys in one video. Great stuff. The two of you are helping transform my 51 yo body safely.
FINALLY! I've been waiting for this for years
This episode is pure gold! I've always admired Ben's work, but this was the first talk that truly gave me insight into the challenges he's faced. His personality resonates deeply with mine, and his experience motivates me to keep working out and to pursue the right approach. Thank you for this!
Love this guy such a genuine dude.
Collab that needed to happen. I'm glad for this message of confronting the movements you thought you couldn't do with gradual progression into harder expressions of that movement. I was told very directly in my early 20s that I'd never lift even modest weight overhead by a couple very well trained and I'd like to think well-meaning orthos. I believed that up until this last year when I started my weight lifting journey. Now I can properly strict press 135 for reps and I can see bodyweight ohp for reps somewhere in 2025.
Great interview. I’ve been nursing a hand/grip injury for months. I spent months basically trying to do nothing with the hand if I could help it, and made zero progress. Over the last month I started doing dumbbell wrist curls and reverse wrist curls at the end of my workouts. It’s improved immensely.
Man this video was nothing but love from both these professionals. I loved everything about this video.
This was such a warm and respectful conversation to listen to 🙂
I was dreaming of this collab, you guys are two of the most educational people on the internet regarding exercise. I've learnt so much from both of you it's unbelievable, and I'm not only talking about exercise stuff. The ammount of passion, dedication, honesty and knowledge you guys have is contagious.
Ever since I've watched your videos I feel more confident and capable to help everyone at my gym. Thank you so much!
Reading the comments is amazing. Great job, Ben. I have so much gratitude to be a member of the ATG community and journey!
❤This is the best one I have seen yet..Very in depth..Please do more of them this way..With people this way..Ben Patrick I don.t know you or have heard of you in the UK..Very honest and very good questions to..THANK YOU TO BOTH..FOR THAT
Thank you!!!
Absolutely love the longer form interview videos. Didn't really know or interact with TheKneesovertoesguy's content but he seems like such a genuine and nice guy. Would love to see the gym video!
I loved this guy's attitude and values. Glad you gave him a platform to share his ideas
These two guys are the best combo to help you grow in your fitness journey hands down
He a real one! I hope he gets all the recognition he deserves.
The collab i didnt know i needed but one i now cant live without!
Thank you, both. Much respect, my guys. 👊🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽
You could see the pain in his eyes as he talked about his story. The relationship we have with our bodies in our formative early years is a powerful one that can change the course of our life. It can alter everything. If you're reading this bro, just want to say that I'm sorry you had to go through this. And thanks for turning your pain into motivation to help others! ✊
68 yo, Ben helped me attain my first full squats. Learning full range of motion and understanding WHY it is a good thing has made me injury free lifting weights and able to run once again. Thanks, Ben!!
It’s about time!!
Theres mind muscle connection but theres also mind joint connection. Workig through injuries has given me the appreciation for both and why I find the lived experience of Ben so inspiring
Professional athlete with multiple knee and hip surgeries - found ATG/currently using coming off (another) PCL tear. Best my entire lower body has felt in years.
I tell random people about Ben Patrick all the time. Happy to see you promoting him :)
The video I have been waiting for since I started my fitness journey 😊 I can't believe it's here 🎉
One of the best RP/Knees Over Toes vids! And we’re getting a Dr. Mike and Ben Legs Workout outta this too? 👀
Ben changed my life. I went from knee pain just from trying to bend down to tie my shoes to doing weighted squats and adventure races. Thank you, Ben.
This is IMO by far, the best podacast episode and best guest. Awesome conversation
This video couldn't have come out at a better time. I have had some knee pain (Baker's cyst in the back of the knee, and a strain of the patellar tendon), saw a doctor, and what I got was "avoid bending the knee, don't squat or kneel if possible, limit going up the stairs, etc." The way he said that made me feel like I was going to be handicapped in a way, for the rest of my life. I've skipped leg day for a couple of months (until I had no pain in patellar tendon), then I started coming back slowly; the only time I felt pain was when I ramped up the weight too quickly or trained legs too quickly after the previous session. Having watched this video, I know that my approach has been correct, and that you can get better if you just keep pushing, even if just little by little. Thanks!
21y old with patella alta on my left knee. Almost broke my patella by doing pistol squats because I didn’t know I had this condition. Started doing ATG split squats and within 3 months I was able to do pistols squats again. This guy’s awesome
Such a good conversation and love seeing all the genuine output and good-will! When is the second video coming?
That’s one of the most informative, and useful Knee podcasts.
Thank you
Epic interview. Ben changed my life and appreciate you giving him your platform!
Two my favorite online coaches! ❤ God Bless you both! 🙏🏻
thank you guys for the interview
I used the RP app to progress Ben Patrick's program! Love both these guys.
I have never given money to this guy, but just from the free stuff he puts online, and similar channels like Squat University, I was able to rehabilitate a damaged meniscus from a point when I would wake up in the morning with swelling that would limit my range of motion, to waking up pain free and squatting 225 deep for reps just last week. Completely changed the trajectory of my health since last year. 29 years old and I just want the next few decades of my life to be pain free and fun.
Amazing conversation! So authentic and heart warming and I can really feel your purpose! Amazing !! 🤩❤️🤗
Tera Patrick...thx for bringing me back good memories
Dr. Mike! Awesome interview with Ben Patrick. The two most consummate badasses of online health/ fitness Ed.!!
The crossover we’ve all been waiting for.
🙏
This was great! Thank you for doing this follow-up.
Ben!! This was epic, dude. Such a great interview, I enjoyed every minute of it.
Love you guys! Ben is my hero! Keep up the great work!
Finally, these two meet. Seeing this made my day. Great job gents! 👏👏👏
Great podcast! Hats off to both of you!
Cant wait for the gym video!
Ben is the best. Changed my knees for the better. I preach the sermon of Ben to all I know.
Love these two guys.
With these two minds combined we could get some real work done.
The best podcast regarding health there is. Thank you
