RockShawn said:I gotta say, the combination if all the strategies I've employed has made a huge difference. I finally manned up and rolled my IT bands with full body weight and they are much looser. Using the mobilityWOD voodoo bands, I've been actively flossing both knees through a full unloaded range of motion. And I've been sitting in a bottom squat position for up to 5 minutes a day as well as lots of air squats using as strict of form as I can keeping the torso as vertical as I can without my tailbone rounding under.
Also worked on my hip strength too with a sling shot band doing side steps, walking and squatting with the band just above my knees. The bottom position stretching and pistols have really opened up my hip flexibility substantially. Still recovering a little from some moves but ready to switch training methods next week.
My knees feel so much better. I've also been using a supplement called wobenzym suggested by my chiropractor to help eat away the calcium deposits under the knee cap.
The next phase of my training is going to include compound movements and I really think I'm ready now.
Awesome bro...mine is a little slower progress but haven't been as diligent as you are.
