Summary
In this episode, Joe Gambino and Joe LaVacca discuss the topic of squats and whether they are bad for the knees. They start by sharing their experiences of watching football and their morning routines. They then introduce themselves and their podcast, Beyond Pain. The conversation shifts to the question of when someone should be concerned about their pain and seek professional help. They emphasize the importance of addressing pain that affects daily activities and quality of life. The main topic of squats and knee health is then explored, with both hosts expressing their belief that squats are not inherently bad for the knees. They discuss the importance of progressive overload and adapting tissues to load, as well as the role of fear avoidance and self-confidence in managing pain.
