I talked to an orthopedic surgeon about these knee injuries. People blame the turf. These are caused by the off-season workout programs. The box jumps and leg presses aren’t monitored. Those “explosion” drills they do, on top of the weight lifting makes the tendons in the knees like a rubber band. The tendon has no leverage East or west after 2 or 3 years of being strengthened for explosion at the snap of the ball.
This is why Tom Brady hasn’t done lower body weight training in 8 years.
Tom does all of his lower body training with Giselle.
