Thank you Jeff. I think I have a slightly menisci problem on my right leg and there are certain exercises my body doesn't like prior to this Injury. However; I love training my legs because they respond jolly fast to any leg exercises. Now at my age almost 50 and still in great shape, I have to be gentle to how I train and still hitting those areas that need improvement. Your video was very informative since I am looking for exercises I can do with minor menisci issues. I can't squat and never liked that exercise. However; I know I need to be diagnosed properly in order to apply what types of exercises are beneficial for me but for the mean time watching your videos do help tremendously.
Question. Is the leg press bad for menisci?
Thank you!

Post quad tear. Finally got my ability to return to the gym after PT to recover full ROM and also run. I need to work out the atrophy, I am back at the gym since the injury and lost close to 25 lbs. I hope I can recover to the extent I can without placing myself injuring myself again. I feel great but have 4 screws in my patella similar to Calum Avon Monger, I am perplexed that he performs exercises that place him at risk of a re tear. I love your science backed approach. Any recommendations, I hired a trainer to help me and I start working out with him next week. I don-t want to end up top heavy so I-m starting from scratch after 25 years of lifting.

For me, having had patellar tendonosis, I just can't do the leg press or the knee extention. The knee/leg extention is an unnatural movement as it is, and it puts a lot of unnecessary strain on the knee, particulary the patella tendon, so even if I did one of two sets on that I would experience pain for the next day or two. The leg press gets worse the lower down I position my feet, because the lower down, the more pressure on the patella tendon. I could do it higher though, but it would be less effective because its more hamstring dominant. So instead I just do any other exercises, such as squats, lunges, BSS's, step ups, etc.

Today I ran into a knee issue (I had this for all of my adult life) where it would hurt uneath my knee during AX-1. The offending exercises was Drop Set Lunge and Lean followed by a Single Leg DB Squat. I think the lunge was causing the discomfort and the Single Leg Squat amplified it.
As much as I like AX-1 I would love if it would be redone to put a little bit more emphasis on correct form.
I will redo todays program but doing the lunge backwards to control the tilt of my shin.

-Athlean-X this is an awesome video and you gave awesome insight on the exercises presented in this video. For someone like myself who is trying to rehabilitate their knee or knees what is your opinion on exercises like the Tibialis Raise, Calf Raises, Standing Band Kick Back, Leg lift while sitting down w/ bands,
Side steps w/ bands, Standing Band Abductions, Patrick Step ups, or Walking Backward-s with bands. Which exercises should I prioritize and how often should I do them?

Any responses welcomed, thank you all.
41 year old male. Been lifting and all around athletic since toddler age. Baseball player, never slacked on leg day. Squats were life. Long story short, after years of catching my knees kill me. No surgeries yet but my right knee locks up frequently(very painful process to unlock. Is there any way to work my legs out without so much pain/knee popping?
Been to several Dr. s and nothing is torn, just sounds like popcorn when I squat.

I've been stressed these past 3 days prior this comment because my knees started hurting and I suspect it's because of a -Jumper's knee- though within the past week, I haven't really done any leg day since I am on a push pull leg routine, weird enough my knees started to hurt so much I cannot even walk when it was the day for leg day I had to skip.
But thanks to this video, I can workout my legs lightly without worsening my injury.

still get mad pain in the meniscus with Bulgarian split squats. More when my bad leg is the leg resting on the bench, and more on the downward part of the movement. I think its the constant small wobbling motion when trying to keep balance. Used to do heavy Bulgarian split squats before I had my meniscus tear. Now I can't even do bodyweight Bulgarians even a year after my surgery: (

Hey Jeff, I have been seeing this knees over toes dude everywhere on social media. Some of the exercises seem like they should have a build up or alternates to prevent injury. If you could do a video review of some of the hyped exercises I think it would help a lot of people.
