Do you struggle with knee pain after running?
Arthroscopic surgeries to treat this are extremely common and yet many people still suffer even after this intervention. I have personally suffered with knee pain so know only too well how frustrating and debilitating it can be! 🏥
Stronger quads, in particular VMO (Vastus Medialis Oblique) strength is well documented to be directly correlated with pain reduction. I find it extremely frustrating that some of the myths around training legs persist today, in particular that squatting below parallel is bad for your knees.
Nothing could be further from the truth!! ❌
It has been proven through EMG (Electromyography) testing that the VMO is most active in movements like the squat, when below parallel, so stopping short will not do your knees any favours at all! 👆
