I forget how long ago I got my weight vest. Guess it may be 18 months by now. I have done hundreds of miles in the thing since then.<\/p>\n

I started training with 70 lbs recently for 3 hour hikes. Long weighted hikes bring out your strengths and weaknesses. Finally for me my knees have become an issue.<\/p>\n

I began to get minor pain in my left knee some months ago, now both knees hurt immediately when I run. Its only very minor pain but it sends a nerve signal to my brain saying “stop”.
\nI can do every thing else without any knee pain EG: squats etc but if I don’t stop the vest training now & rehabilitate – I will never be able to do it in the future. I have already stopped running.<\/p>\n

I think a three month intensive will not just rehabilitate my knees but make them strong enough to handle the training to come without inflammation or injury.<\/p>\n

I have big heavy loads planned for weight vest training so I must fix this weak link now. It should vastly improve my running also.<\/p>\n

Here its winter so 2-3 months off from hiking & running is fine with me.<\/p>\n

The following are the products you need for world class knee strength…<\/p>\n

\"pistol\"<\/p>\n

Steve Cotter is the man for Kettlebell training and his Pistol video is first class. Before you get into pistols though you need to prepare your knees.<\/p>\n

The man for this is Mike Robertson who has several products concerning mobility & joint conditioning. <\/p>\n

\"single \"bulletproof<\/p>\n

\"magnificent <\/p>\n

His product Bullet Proof Knees is made for the job – a world class product, others that support the knee program are magnificent mobility & single leg solution.<\/p>\n

Finally there is the dude at elastic steel who is a flexibility & martial arts expert.<\/p>\n

\"elastic<\/p>\n

I know this is a must have too. So take a look at the above, five first class programs all of which will take your knee strength well beyond that of the average athlete.<\/p>\n

Knee pain is often the factor that takes recruits out of military programs such as seals BUDs. I will spend the next 3 months working hard to get super knees. Then I will carefully begin rucking and weight vest training where I left it off.<\/p>\n
