If you're tired of dealing with knee pain during your workouts, this is a mustwatch!

I walk you through the common causes of knee pain when lifting and provide you with practical solutions to address fixing each one.

Join me as I guide you through a comprehensive approach to tackle the underlying issues contributing to knee pain:

1) Ankle Mobility: I'll demonstrate effective techniques to improve ankle range of motion, which plays a crucial role in reducing stress on the knees during lifts.

2) Hip Internal Rotation: Discover exercises and strategies to enhance hip mobility and address any restrictions that may be impacting your knee function.

3) Knee Stability: Strengthen the muscles surrounding the knee joint to improve stability and minimize the risk of injury during your lifting sessions.

4) Glute Coordination: I'll explain the significance of proper glute activation and coordination to optimize your lower body mechanics during lifts.

By addressing these mobility and stability concerns, you'll be able to overcome knee pain and enhance your lifting performance. Subscribe to my channel now for valuable insights and actionable steps to optimize your lower body function and conquer knee pain.

While there may be one specific point in time at which the pain strikes, nontraumatic knee pain is usually the result of something that has been building for some time. The signs of injury are often present even before symptoms appear. For example, numerous research studies have found a connection between knee problems like patellofemoral pain syndrome, illiotibial band (ITB) syndrome, and even the development of osteoarthritis (OA) to movement problems such as excessive hip adduction (thigh moving towards the midline of the body) and internal rotation.

This means that while you may have experienced pain for the first time after a heavy squat workout last week, the cause of injury may have actually been building up to that point for a while. Therefore, the quality of your technique and the manner you load your body during training will always be the most important factor in whether you get stronger and find success or whether you fail to progress because of an injury.

If you think you're dealing with patellar tendinopathy (which presents as a load intolerance rather than a movement problem), check out this video:    • How to Fix Knee Pain [Is It Patellar ...
