Knee Ability Zero

Pathbreaking stuff. Missing link between making a common man's performance at par with olympic level athletes. Only shares what he personally has experimented and seen consistent positive results with.

Excellent

Can not recommend. Book is very thin, has large font and mostly contains pictures for about 7 exercises. If you follow Ben Patrick (which you probably do if you are buying this book) you are well aware of those exercises. Does not contain any programming or workout routine that incorporates those exercises.

The exercises in this book are intended to be performed three times per week. They don't require any special equipment and can be done in your home in as little as 30 minutes. I sprained my left knee several years ago. Since then, anytime I walked long distances or attempted to play sports, my left knee would get sore or I would reinjure it. I bought this book after hearing the author on the Joe Rogan podcast. After receiving the book I started working on the exercises...and reinjured my knee. I was a bit too eager and tried to start the exercises at an intermediate difficulty and it was too much for me. After giving my knee time to heal I started again at the easiest difficulty level and gradually increased difficulty as I gained strength and flexibility. I saw minimal improvement for the first 6 weeks. From 6 weeks to 3 months I started to see dramatic increases in strength and flexibility. My ankles, knees, hips, and lower back feel better than they have in 20 years. I never imagined the exercises in this book would be so effective. This book has changed my life and I highly recommend it to everyone.

I injured my MCL doing BJJ, my knees had been good but starting a combat sport in my late 30s undoubtedly has its risks. I thought my knee would heal on its own and didn’t rest it properly. I’ve always lifted weights and could work around injuries, a bit different at BJJ. My knee was getting worse and worse and I was just working through the pain hoping it would go away. So I got this book, didn’t really stick to it and didn’t see much change, didn’t stop BJJ until my leg was absolute ruined - because I’m an idiot. I couldn’t even ‘air squat’, I couldn’t stand up quick from sitting and was struggling with stairs, I couldn’t run, what a horrible feeling at 38. So I committed myself to doing this program several times a week, largely because I couldn’t do much else. I’m happy to report my knee is so much better, I can ‘air squat’ again, the mobility is coming back and I don’t doubt I’ll be back to BJJ and weightlifting in no time. I’m pain free in my day to day, I was in pain driving or just sitting. Ultimately I still need to build up my strength but the difference is night and day. It’s not a quick fix, you have to actually do the program. It takes like 15 minutes. I do it while watching TV or before/after an upper body workout. There are some moves that feel amazing that I’ll do (elephant walk has helped me massively) at random times in the day. Well worth getting.
