Seems like a lot of people exceed their joint capacity with weight lifting which in turn gives you joint pain. Remove the ego and not worry about the amount of weight and focus on quality. Progression will happen. A lot of people don’t want to take the time to start over again with proper mechanics and fundamentals of movement. You can still move weight while working on the basics. Just takes a bit more time and effort. None of this is supposed to be easy guys. At the end of the day you’re trying to remold and restructure our bodies.

From what I've read, heavy lifting and isometircs is most definately best for strenghtening tendons and increasing bone density in all areas (although ironically most likely to cause injury too if not done properly!). It's conclusive for tendons in general, not just the knee as far as I'm aware. I remember seeing Nadal (on tv) doing close knee wall squats many years back too. Starting ATG spilt squats, it was my hip flexors that realy felt it hard to begin with as it is an active stretch that I'd never done before. Balance was very hard too. Once I had that down (so it's all good in that respect), I loaded up and did 5 by 5's each side to see what would happen; the advantage of being mid 40's is that I get DOMS when I haven't trained in a while or for new exercises. I got DOMS really bad, but only all around the top of the knee (vastus medialis and lateralis), nowhere else. When I've had DOMS from isometrics in the past, it was in the mid section of the quads, not at the ends around the knee at all. This is all anecdotal from my own body response of course, but personally, I think both approaches are very important; but for 2 different, yet perfectly synergisitc reasons.

I'm not saying the premise of the video is wrong but he's using active insufficiency completely wrong. Active insufficiency occurs when a multi-joint muscle is shortened across all of its joints to the point that it cannot contract optimally. Active insufficiency only applies to multi-joint muscles. The quadricep has one multi-joint muscle, the rectus femoris. The other three heads of the quad (vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, vastus lateralis) only cross one joint, the knee. The rectus femoris would only achieve active insufficiency when it is shortened across all of the joints it crosses, both the hip and knee. So the rectus femoris could only achieve active insufficiency in hip flexion and knee extension. A lunge, like the one he's doing, involves hip flexion and knee flexion and so the rectus femoris would be shortened across the hip joint and lengthened across the knee joint, therefore not reaching a state of maximal shortening leading to active insufficiency. Even if he meant passive insufficiency, he would still be using that phrase wrong because it's practically the opposite but the knee is being shortened across one joint and lengthened across another. So I'm not sure what term he means to use but it's not either of these

This is good for people who have meniscus issue.
