So he’s clearly trying to sell something. But I’m intrigued by his theories about knee health. Do runners have anything to learn from this?
Is it bad to put weight on a knee going over the toes as in the lunge? It’s what we’re always told. Let the discussion begin.

I've seen knees over toes videos for quite a while. I do many movements his way but slowly and unloaded.
Wow he has some very sexy looking legs. He should wear even shorter shorts.
Any position your body can do is fine. There's no dangers .
Works much better if you walk backwards.
So I guess it’s all bollocks based on the replies.
I personally really think that this guy's training ideas are brilliant, I haven't been able to try them because of running in college and there isn't really a good time to reduce training and workouts for a few months to really go all in on his program. But if you look at his Instagram he has helped a tremendously large amount of people. And just looking at how much he transformed himself should be proof enough.
Interesting

This guy was on Joe Rogan recently. Seems he's blowing up on the tubes with some pretty popular videos of his whacky training and abilities. I came here to see if he'd been discussed. What's the advantage of his stuff for runners if any?
Strength helps in reducing possible pain from running. I advice on some form of strengthening the legs more than running normally does.
But the IMO most important thing to do to avoid pain from running is to land on the mid foot, with a bent knee under your body. If you reach out, land on the heel with less flexed knee you will experience excess wear and tear on the legs that could finally translate into some problem in the knee, or the hips.
I have a rowing machine and I got knee pain on that until I changed the position of the feet. I had to move them 5cm up such that the forces went straight through the knees and the pressure on the soles of the feet were evenly on balls and heel and not too much to the balls of feet side. That is an example of how small adjustments can make the difference.
He has never been on JRE. Dunno what you’re talking about. They’ve mentioned him a few times over the last like 2 months but he has yet to be on a podcast.
That being said I haven’t tried his program but I can’t imagine increased mobility through functional strength by increasing load in full ROM is a bad thing for running. I don’t know that I believe it’d be great for elite level runners but I doubt it would negatively impact sub sub elites or hobby runners. Could even make running more enjoyable because the idea is it decreases joint and tendon pain through functional ROM increases.

Sorry, I should have been more specific and said "mentioned on JR". I'm curious as to whether anyone on here thinks that he's got bad advice with any of the exercises he prescribes. Some of it is pretty whack, like circus trick stuff. I'm into the idea of mobility, but I don't know how much sense there is in trying to gain mobility you didn't even have as a child. Seems some of those heavily weighted movements are very risky but I don't know.
