Yo knees over toes guy slaps, I’m a huge fan and have been since the pandemic.
I definitely fell victim to the marketing but goddamn if his workouts haven’t helped my knee pain!
How can he slap?! 😫
In all seriousness, though, what's the angle? Building musculature to support joints? Or is it some sort of weight lifting reference?
Don't quote me on this but I believe his thing is what the handle says; knees over toes. It used to be considered to be bad for your joints doing exercises such as deep squats for example, but his belief is that it's the exact opposite. He used to have really bad knees himself, and couldn't really play basketball like he wanted to, but by doing these exercises he was able to strenghten his knees to the point they no longer cause issues for him. The main exercise he's recommending is pulling a sled backwards. He tells about Finnish lumberjacks who used to drag logs backwards like this and how they had super strong knees.
