There is so many things I have learned over the past 14 years as a trainer and I have made so many mistakes. There is so many things I firmly believed in for years only to completely reverse my thinking years later. And when it comes to gripping, this is something I definitely did myself for many years believing I was doing a good thing. As a result I regularly suffered with all types of injuries all caused from my own training, or constant habits that I was not aware of that had become subconscious pain creators. This article we are going to take a look at what is a very common problem to the keen gym person and sporting athlete and how over doing something good can lead to causing problems with how you move.

We have published so many articles and videos over the past 5 years I even find it hard to keep up with what we have. Many times these articles have become great resources for ourselves to refer to when coming across difficult situations or simply to find ideas on better ways to train. But due to the amount of articles I find I get lost in what we are looking for. So we decided to create an index page that is broken up into sections from head to toe of the human body so you can easily navigate your way to the article you are looking for. We have provided links to each of the articles so you can instantly go the page you want. If you have any suggestions for articles you would like us to cover please get in touch with us by sending an email to us at This email address is being protected from spambots.

If there is one thing I am asked almost every day is, "what are the best VMO exercises for my knee". And I must admit I hate writing these articles that label things the "best" as there is no definitive best exercise for everyone, only the best exercise for you. Some people the missing ingredient may in fact be stretching or a mobility drill, others it may be a technique tip with how they squat or run, and others it may be strengthening an area that is very weak. The real secret to knee pain and patella instability is identifying your weakest link using in depth assessments, and the results of these tests will determine your program. If you do this right you will find the real problem is not anywhere near the knee! Having said all that I am going to share with you in this article the 5 most effective and commonly used VMO exercises I have successfully to treat knee injuries over the last 13 years as a rehabilitation trainer with both sporting athletes, and everyday people with knee pain.
