ATG Foot, Ankle, Achilles & Shin Guide

Yes big king

Hi Ben, I’ve torn retinaculum’s in both my ankles and as a result, have snapping tendons. Are there any exercises you would recommend to strengthen these areas? I’ve been told eventually i will require surgery, but for now its not giving me any bother, just annoying as im a climber and must trust my feet. Thanks

hey ben, is the big toe spacer supposed to be worn on the big toe or second toe?

I too have a decade old right ankle sprain from basketball and the ankle on that side pops and makes weird noises, and has limited dorsiflexion compared to the left which has tons of it. The tib raises with IsoTib have helped but I'm still missing that real healing, particularly for split squats and being able to squat deep. Maybe Floss Bands are indeed the answer!

Do you have any info or recommendations for what to do for persistent calf strains and crazy calf tightness?

Hey Ben, been dying to get that tib bar but it’s always out of stock every time I check. Any idea when it will be available for Canadians again?

It's hard for my to even get into that position that you showed for calf raises. I have very limited ankle mobility and tight calves, especially after the ankle injury I had a few years ago. I can get into a slightly knees over toes position without pain, but I find it impossible to keep my heels down if I get my knees any further forward. Do you suggest I work on mobility before trying the calf raises, or should I ease myself into it with my limited mobility, slowly getting my knees further forward as I progress?

i’m a track athlete should i be running with shoes like this? however for my races i always wear spikes

Will this help w bunion on outer edge of feet( little toe side) I wear Altas foot shape, amazing.

bad heel spurs and retro calcaneal heel bursitis in both feet. mass of calcified achilles on back of both heels.

about to go through achilles debridement of both feet. hoping ATG can offer some good therapy to get me back to working my ass off

Hey man, been a basketball player all my life and just turned 29, I do jump a lot(always have) and I’m experiencing months of debilitating patellar tendinitis in the right knee. Any advice?

When will you sell the tib bar with the pin? I can’t find it anywhere

Thank you very much for the tip.
I will give it a shot and report back to you.

Hey Ben, would you recommend these for tennis? Was wondering if there was enough lateral stability and/or if your shoes were too heavy. Thank you for all you do amd teach! 💜

Would love to see your shoe come in more sizes in the future!! I’m a women’s 9.5, I just moved to Alta shoes which have so far been way better than anything else I’ve tried. But it’s seriously HARD to find good shoes shaped like a foot

Can I play basketball in the uncivilised sneakers, or are they just for training and running?

Damn ben looking stacked 💪

would having some kneebend on the weighted calf machine in the gym work as well for the soleus? My gym doesn't have a seated calf machine only a standing one

Hey Ben, love your content, have you ever considered doing a video on hip and shoulder impingements? I know they are common and those are two things I happen to be dealing with right now

For your knee walking backwards 10 minutes set, do you recommend using or not using a knee brace on the injured knee at the start of this program? Thank you

Hey Ben, I had tight rope surgery on my right ankle in October and am hoping to be healthy for basketball in February. Will these exercises help relieve pain around my tendon, and provide me with strength to be able to push off the toe and run full speed again?

hello, i feel pain in the back of my knee after playing basketball not sure if its long term or temporary since i start to feel it just yesyerday, which exercises should i do?

Do you do any inversion/eversion exercises?

I've been watching for ages i love the information you give out. I'm looking for a bit of advice that maybe isisn't as easy to find online, its for my recent High ankle sprain (Syndesmosis). I'm trying to not over do it as its been bad(up and down like a heartbead monitor) for about 2 months. Just looking to see if there's any good way to measure the progress since im a rock climber and my feet and ankles are quit important over all and id love to comeback to the sport any tips to get it back to health

Thanks for all the info, Shoe wise I’ve been searching for wideshoes size 15 but wasn’t successfull. The basketball shoes you recommend are great. Do you Know any wideshoe/natural shaped shoe brand that offers sizes up to 15US (48EU) ?

Thanks

Hey Ben! Your content is ground breaking and so helpful! I was curious what your thoughts are on five fingers compared to your training shoes?

I had this in mind but could you theoretically use a exercise bike to go backwards to simulate the backwards treadmill to a certain extent cuz most people likely own one and are using it already. Wonder if it's able to achieve similar if not close to results?

I love you guys and you've helped a 30 year old guy go from feeling like an old man to a child

I'm in Australia and been wanting to buy some of your products to support you guys but the shipping is Ludacrisly expensive. 200 dollar shipping for a 300 dollar cart makes it so I can't justify buying things from you guys and I'm forced to use people who charge normal shipping rates

Keep up the amazing work guys and thank you for everything you do for everyone!

I struggle with ankle sprains and I always just hear I need high top shoes. Is that true and is there a reason you made yours low top?

Just tried the knees more forward than the toes calf raise and there was a sharp pain on the outside of my knee. Is that the IT band? I quit for the day after that

Does it make any difference if all the exercises (split squat, squat, nordic curls etc.) are done very slow? Also, does it matter if they are done explosively (plyometrics)?

Is it possible you could do a short guide of exercises for those who suffer with SI joint issues in the hip?

I’ll get the shoes but I wear a 12E extra wide. Will wide options become available

52 yrs young and bunions from years of cowboy boots and dress shoes… been wearing wide toe box shoes for years now but the damage was already done. Got your big toe spacers as they look to be a better design than what I’ve tried to date (most are not good at all)… let’s see if I can make progress. Thanks for all you do bud!

Thanks Ben! I ruptured my patellar tendon 20 months ago. I did my first standing flat ground backflip a few weeks ago since being injured. I’m on my way towards dunking again which will be very soon! I’ve religiously been hitting the sled everyday (along with some others), and the progress is life changing. A literal tear came down my face after backflipping. I didn’t think I’d ever recover as this was my first major injury of my life.

Which shoes are those you show? Normally the “barefoot” shoes I see don’t let the big toe stick out that far!

What big toe spacer do you recommend and can you wear it throughout the day?

Hi Ben. Can I use a spacer for the little toe in a similar way?

Ben changed my life ❤

"Hope this helps" 😂.

Thanks for the Achilles stuff! Not as much research online about protecting that tendon. Before I watched this, I was doing alot of deficit-calf raises, getting strong in that bottom, stretched out position. Curious if you have thoughts on that. Will be incorporating some bent knee calf raises from here on out!

Any advice for wrist pain/sprain/TFCC?

What about the gastro? not that important?

and
the Patrick step up can do the job as well for the soleus?

Barefoot 🎉

Hi Ben, I have been a big fan of your videos since a long time now, keep up the good work!! I am also suffering from inner shin splint pain for the last year... Nothing seems to be helping. Can you maybe tell me more about how you overcame this issue?

really useful and helpful 非常有用

So happy to see the shoe in white. I see that the shoe sizes start at 10, and it's clearly (and understandably) for men. A man's 10 would be the equivalent of a woman's 11.5. Not many woman need that large a shoe. Will you be offering sizes appropriate for women in the future?

Thank you Ben 😊

THANKYOU👣
