In this episode, we dive into a very common issue many ACLers are unknowingly dealing with - junk volume. It's something that is preventing progress. If you’ve ever felt stuck, having a swollen or painful knee, or just burnt out from doing too much—this one’s for you. We explain why piling on exercises, reps, and sets without clear purpose isn’t helping (and might be hurting), and share real stories of athletes doing 10-20+ exercises a day and seeing zero progress. You’ll learn how to shift to a less-is-more mindset, apply principles like minimum effective dose and the 80/20 rule, and embrace the high/low training model used in elite performance. Backed by research and experience, this episode is your call to simplify, audit, and do your ACL rehab with intention.Ways we can connect:My IG: www.instagram.com/ravipatel.dptOur website: www.theaclathlete.comEmail:
