OB covers his approach with a client who presents with Patella Femoral Syndrome and some very simple at home correctives to fix it. Smitty and OB then discuss training considerations that may help you bulletproof your knees. In Part 2, Smitty and OB put a spin on a Q&A by answering them Newlywed style (answering each question for the other person) and hilarity ensues. *For a full list of show notes, timestamps & important links from this episode visit: Becoming Ronin Podcast TIMESTAMPS [0:00] Intro [3:44] Smitty's new program and his issue with it [7:30] OB's simple assessment with knee pain [17:20] Frontal Plane vs Sagital Plane Exercises for Knee Health  [20:30] Doing exercises you hate [23:00] Testing Rectus Femoris before doing Split Squats [25:10] How to assess your feet if you have knee pain [29:01] The Quickest Way to Overuse Injuries [32:45] Integrated vs Static Mobility Drills [35:25] Smitty and OB play the Newlywed Game [36:18] What is the other's Worst Pet Peeves [37:51] Worst Habit [39:00] What is the other's worst fear?
