Joe Rogan Experience #1766 - Ben Patrick

the Joe Rogan experience train by day Joe Rogan podcast by night all day
welcome what's happening man hey man we should thank Jamie because inadvertently
Jamie's the
reason why this podcast got started you're welcome thank you Jamie what Jamie
told me
about you like probably three years ago a couple yeah for sure at least a
couple and I've always
had like weird issues with my knees for years you know I've had both knees
reconstructed as you've
had a bunch of knee surgeries as well right yep how many knee surgeries have
you had well I had with my
left knee partially artificial kneecap artificial kneecap really strange thing
yeah what's an
artificial kneecap what's it made out of some kind of like rubber plastic kind
of shit I was super
depressed I was I was so when you feel I missed my senior year of basketball so
I was getting they
said basically that my kneecap had fractured off like the upper left side was
just fractured so they
had to take it out put something else in there I've never even heard you can
yeah you can still see
kind of where it juts out oh yeah and can you sit on you obviously you can't
have seen you be on your
knees no no issues at all with that yeah yeah no issues but I had issues a long
time after that yeah
until I started you know figuring out some alternative training stuff did you
you got a
meniscus replacement meniscus transplant no that is wild yeah what what what
happens there uh apparently
they you know put in a cadaver meniscus and how long does it take before your
body takes it
don't know but that one didn't seem like a problem at all that was that one was
easier really yeah so when
they put the cadaver meniscus in how long before you were able to really work
out again
um that one I would say was like in a matter of months I could feel that spot
actually felt
fine again a matter of months yeah really how old were you when that happened
18 because I looked
into that and they said they don't recommend it for people over a certain age
it was like I think
might be 50 people tell me now they're like oh you had that they don't even
they don't do that
anymore I think they still do it so yeah at least from what I read online I
guess I guess more rare
yeah they would do that and then quad tendon repair quad tendon repair what
happened there
so torn quad tendon so that's the tendon above your kneecap so everyone that I've
turned on to your
stuff um has loved it and has said well how come I didn't know about this
before like when so we
should explain your knees over toes guy is your Instagram uh handle and uh
athletic truth group
right this is what you guys is this did you who founded the athletic truth
group yeah so before
I was on social media I made a business name athletic truth group LLC and that
was my gym yeah I have a
couple starting books on Amazon um knee ability zero so that's the idea of
getting stronger knees
body weight you don't need anything mm-hmm that came about during COVID you
know I had to figure out
for people there's no gym right and then the other book goes over like my
classic stuff so that's called
ATG for life so that was my business I ran a gym for seven years prior to COVID
so you knew you had
all these injuries you were really depressed you felt like your knees were
falling apart and that was
going to hinder your ability to do what you love you love to play basketball
yeah and so how did you
devise and what where did what research did you do to figure out all these uh
strength and conditioning
methods to strengthen your knees first clue was from a guy named Charles Poliquin
mm-hmm so at the time
I was painting walls for my dad just I was out of high school I was a you know
a bum when you're an
athlete you don't get a scholarship right you know people think you failed at
life you know right
but I was painting walls researching relentlessly and I saw a clue from him
about the farther and
stronger your knee can go over your toes the less chance of knee injury you
have which is always
contrary to what they always tell you in gyms at least they used to tell you
don't ever have your
knees over your toes you do squats it's very dangerous exactly so I believed
that all the way up to that
time so I quickly started looking into this Charles rest in peace he was an
older guy so I couldn't find
any video of him doing it but he had a disciple named Keegan Smith an
Australian strength coach
and there I could see video examples of him doing it and they were
intentionally training knees over toes
so I just it was almost kind of like a shotgun thing I just started trying
everything you know what I mean
mm-hmm and I quickly found that what got me the least pain was actually the
lowest level of quote-unquote
knees over toes training which is basically dragging a sled backwards and I
would do anything I could find for
this I'd put my car in neutral and have a buddy in my car and I'd put a butt my
butt against the bumper
and just backwards so I'd be I'd move my car in neutral but backwards mm-hmm
dragging a slide
backwards and I used that to carry me through and and went from there and was
able to return to my
sport and do a lot of cool stuff so who figured out the dragging a sled
backwards thing so cool first
off credit has to go this is Chinese wisdom passed down generation to
generation to prevent cartilage
breakdown to prevent arthritis in elderly so they actually have their elderly
start walking backwards
so so you have in China you have walking backwards meanwhile in Finland in the
forestry industry they
would drag trees backwards so like they would be dragging trees and then have
you heard of American
powerlifting coach Louie Simmons yes the legend Louie was trying to figure out
the secret of these Finnish
guys who are getting such strong knees and backs and stuff and they credited
the the forestry as
they're like foundation real of dragging trees so he popularized and so he
could probably you know tell
someone much more in detail but the the idea of a sled of dragging something as
a form of human exercise hmm
that's the history as I know it Louie Simmons also created the reverse hyper
yeah
which I've used to strengthen my back and I know a lot of people that had disc
issues he developed it to deal with
it's really kind of a crazy story because they were telling him that he needed
to get his disc fused
because he had you know disc issues where his discs were pushing on his nerves
where he was you know having bulging issues bulging discs and so he was like
well something compress them that something can decompress them so how do I
decompress
them and so he developed you're aware of the reverse oh yeah sure it's an
amazing machine yeah and it's the first machine that I've ever seen that
actively decompresses the muscles while strengthening the muscles so on the deceleration
so on the deceleration or the decline it actively decompresses your spine and
then when you ascend when you lift your legs up it strengthens all those lower
back muscles it's a genius piece of equipment yep so he was already on the side
of um he didn't want to go through with the surgery right for his back yeah and
he figured out how to rebuild his back and went on to you know hit insane power
lifting numbers and stuff and it's the same for me with for me my corollary was
jumping super high you know
so that was something I actually could never do before all my knee problems but
because of figuring this out all this stuff basically figured out how to put
rockets in my knees now that's so crazy because I've watched your videos and
how high you jump I mean you almost can put your chin on the rim it's wild what's
you know a lot of people can jump high but I think what's cool is um this I was
demoing some stuff and are you about 6'1 how tall are you 6'1 yeah so when you
jump
jump like that like that like that's crazy like how high you can get up when
you tell me that you didn't used to be able to jump at all when you were young
yeah that's nuts yeah so that's what makes my story unique because my my all my
coaches I played for they'll attest and they've attested on camera like what a
terrible athlete I was you know um the pen used to suck yeah now for anyone
watching I actually set up and I'll leave it there till well after the podcast
but I set up my top six Instagram
post that's what you see when you go to a page to quickly educate on all the
main stuff we're talking about here I've sent your stuff to so many people and
some of my friends already knew it my friend Coleon was already doing it he's
oh cool he had some knee issues and then he started doing the split squats and
doing split squats completely eliminated all of his knee injuries that's I don't
know if he does your whole program that's interesting because I follow him but
I've never talked to him yeah he's he's a big fan of yours um as of many of my
friends are the uh backwards
the sled thing is something that I've recently implemented you know I have a
yard that's got it's got a nice long piece of grass and so I stack that sucker
up with like a hundred pounds I put on the sled I just
and it's it's amazing how much it's helped it just my knees feel different they
feel like it's hard to say it's like they feel more stable you know it feels
like there's they're more rigid like there's more there I mean they still work
great like with stuff like I'm
I'm 54 yeah I saw him out so for the record he was playing with my one-year-old
out there and your knees are bending great oh yeah yeah they're they're very
flexible yeah so anyways I just want to put that out there like for anyone who
hasn't seen you in in action I was very impressed oh just playing with them
well just to see how your knees bend you can deep squat you can rest on your
knees oh yeah yeah no I don't have any issues like that no my my issues is
torque yeah it's from kicks yep that's my issues like it's
mostly meniscus the amount of torque that you put on your knees when you throw
a kick and then I'm hitting 130 pound heavy bag and I'm doing it for like you
know an hour a day that's a lot of force and I love to do it and so for me it's
like okay I'm not gonna stop doing this like I'm gonna stop doing it when I
have to stop doing it and until I have to stop doing it I'm gonna figure out
what I can do to strengthen my knees and make them better your exercise
exercises have 100% made my knee stronger 100% I appreciate that it's really
amazing so with those kicks and a lot of people out there can relate you do
that because it's something you want to do it's not like that's the healthiest
thing for your knee to go with this I mean the amount of torque is probably
like in the thousands of pounds every time you throw out a kick if you add all
up all you know all that force and it's the same with jumping playing
basketball is not good for your knees right but I want to do it right so that's
where the sled comes
in because every step that you're going backward you're strengthening your knee
but there's a fundamental difference between the sled and any other exercise
that I do the difference is that only you move the sled so the sled never moves
you when you do squats or anything like that you're taking some degree of risk
your the weight is going to move you down mm-hmm and then you're going to move
it back so I would last time I was in LA I'm on the roof of
my apartment and I have one of those internal resistance sleds up there and my
neighbors 82 and he wants to join me for a workout he doesn't know who I am he's
just I can instantly put him on a sled and this is an internal resistance one
that you can push and you can go backwards I've seen that one yeah if you pull
up my Instagram I put so that anyone listening can get the world's fastest
education meaning I'm just I made for the podcast I spent the last week
preparing six posts in order so let's
go to that one on the top left the current human exercise fundamental is
walking forward with a machine doing the wo
