Summary

BenGreenfieldFitness.com/benpatrick

Ben Patrick (“Knees Over Toes Guy”), is the coach and founder of the “Athletic Truth Group,” (ATG) a gym and online training service based out of Clearwater Beach, Florida.

Ben overcame debilitating knee and shin pain, as well as subsequent surgeries through a personal journey taking knee and foot strength training means to their fullest potential. Ben transformed his basketball career, going from being continually injured and under-achieving to having a successful junior college stint through improving his own knee health and performance. This culminated for Ben with a scholarship offer to Boston University for basketball, but due to NCAA eligibility rules, Ben turned it down and began training athletes.

Many people have been recommending Ben’s methods as completely transformative in their knee pain, and recently I've begun experimenting with his programs, so though I would have Ben on the show to discuss his very unique approach to healing the knees.

During our discussion, you'll discover:

-How Ben became involved with treating knee pain...06:50

-Why walking backward is so beneficial to the health of the knees...21:45

-Fundamental knee exercises that can be done anywhere, anytime...37:22

-Why focus on the tibialis muscles and hip flexors...48:57

-Tools and techniques to strengthen the knees...56:16

-Why Ben doesn't heavily focus on the glutes in his program...1:03:47

-And much more...
