🔥 If your knees hurt every time you squat, run, jump, or even high-step… read this.
You don’t need more gimmicks. You don’t need another “quick fix.”
You need load.
Specifically: knee-extension based exercises that actually build capacity within the knee and the knee-extension musculature.
That’s the fix no one wants to hear… because it requires effort, consistency, and ownership.
But it’s also the one thing that actually works.

❌ What WON’T fix your knee pain long-term:
• Cupping
• Scraping
• Massage
• Dry needling
Cool sensations, zero durability.

If you want bulletproof knees, you have to EARN them.
Stop outsourcing your pain.
Start building the capacity your knees have been begging for.
Let’s go. 🔥🦵
