In my running, I had a pretty bad knee issue that was causing significant stiffness and pain for a week or two... like bothered me when sleeping, walking, and sitting on couch. Lots of swelling. Seemed like probably a miniscus issue.
Anyway, I knew about the Knees over Toes Guy, so I investigated a bit and incorporated a few things from the program (I never subscribed or anything). I don't know why it works... but reverse sled pulls are a freaking miracle for knee issues. I can do a set of them (we have a treadmill at my gym that lets you do sled pulls by adding resistance) and my knee feels incredible.
Anyway, doing that along with continuing to work my squat and split squats deeper has my knee(s) much improved.
