A Beginner’s Guide to Reverse Nordic

While lots of people may think reverse Nordics are useless, I believe they actually demonstrate very resilient quad tendons But feel free to debate otherwise in the comments, I’m all for it How I see it is during a reverse Nordic, you’re loading your quad tendon with your full body weight - which is no easy feat There was a point in my life where I never squatted below 90 degrees, only wore knee sleeves, and I’d wonder why I had a massive amount of quad tendinitis At that time something like a reverse Nordic would break me. But by training these extreme motions, and full knee bend in squats, my knees feel more protected than ever. It all comes down to patient, pain free progression - and I hope this video can be proof that you can do it too Tendons CAN be progressively overloaded too! Practice reverse Nordics once a week, at the level you’re up to, for 3-4 sets of 10 reps. Always control your eccentrics! If you’re only up to the stretches, these can be done twice a week
