How The ATG Program Can Fix Your Knee Pain

Updated: Jul 20

The ATG program was created by Ben Patrick. If you are wondering who Ben Patrick is, here is a little background:

His knee pain started at 12
By 14 he had multiple tears in his knees
By 18 he had a partially replaced knee cap, a meniscus transplant, and a quadricep tendon repair
By 19 he had more tears in his knees and his knee pain was excruciating
Doctors said he would never be able to have normal working knees and he should not play basketball, this is where he started the ATG program

Fast forward to Ben being 23 and he was a D1 athlete in college, perfectly able to dunk, no knee pain. However, he ended up leaving college to become a strength and conditioning coach when his coach wouldn’t let him use his training techniques. Now, at 33 years of age he can still dunk and has no pain in his knees. He has helped literally 1000s overcome knee injuries and achieve their fitness dreams with the ATG program.

What the ATG program can do to fix your knee pain

It is a wide belief that the position you are most susceptible to injury in is a position where your knees are over your toes, research came out a long time ago supporting this fact. And its true- this is the position where you are most likely to get an injury, and the ATG program takes advantage of this.

But guess what? You cannot avoid this position!

So, what is the best thing you can do to prevent and treat knee pain? Your best cure to knee pain is to start loading this position.

When you start training in the position where your body is the most susceptible to injury, this bulletproofs your knees! Exercises like the ATG split-squat slowly put you deeper into the knees over toes position and your increase your strength through the full length of the movement and get a lot of mobility gains as well. All of this will help to get rid of any knee pain you have! The ATG program also strengths all the ligaments around the knee and to loosen off tight muscles which may be pulling on the knee causing you pain.

This is kinda why Ben Patrick is called the 'KneesOverToesGuy'!

My personal experience with the ATG program

I started the ATG program to try to fix a bad achilles which had stopped me running consistently for years. After a month of the ATG program the following things had happened:

My ankle mobility on the side with my bad achilles had improve drastically
My achilles pain had gone away completely
I had no back pain
I was stronger in my squat
I could sprint nearly 2 seconds faster for a 200m

The ATG program saved me from so many injuries, but it also improved my performance a lot. Through exercises like the nordic curl my hamstrings got a lot more explosive and I was destroying PBs and sprinting faster in no time.
