Not only is the squat not detrimental to the knees it is remarkably rehabilitative of cranky, damaged, or delicate knees.

Kinsei-Do Corner - the Functional Fitness podcast with Coach Jo
In this episode of Kinsei-Do Corner, I sat down with Coach and Co-owner of VPT Strength Club (in Malang, Indonesia), Ryan Townson (@ryanjoshycf), to dive deep into his most recent CrossFit Games quarterfinals journey. Ryan, in only his second ever season as a competitive CrossFit athlete, absolutely crushed the three Open workouts earlier this year and easily punched his ticket to the Quarterfinals, where he finished an incredible 169th on the Oceanic continent. I've had some amazingly fit guests on this show to date, but Ryan plays in yet another league, and it was an absolute pleasure to get a first hand account of what it's like to compete (virtually) against some of the world's best and leave your own legacy! This episode is long, but if you've ever participated in - or thought of doing so - in a CrossFit competition at any level, you won't want to miss Ryan's story! Who is Ryan Townson? As a National level Gymnast already by the age of 10, Ryan abandoned his sporting career after becoming mentally burned out and unable to sustain the demanding lifestyle of an elite Athlete. As a high school drop-out at 16 and troubled musician, Ryan was undoubtedly showing indicative signs of following the downwards path of alcohol and drug addiction in his teenage years, much like that of his parents. At 17, he was asked by his Sister to accompany her to their local University Fitness Center as a Training Partner. Against his lack of motivation, Ryan followed along in hopes to help motivate his Sister. Only to find that his passion for Athleticism would be ignited once again. By 18, Ryan had obtained both a Fitness and Nutrition Certification and has now been active in the industry for over a decade as a Trainer, Instructor, Gym Manager, Owner and as a Competitive Athlete. After a successful Competitive journey taking multiple 1st Place victories in the Sport of Powerlifting. Ryan has set his sights on becoming an elite level CrossFit Athlete. After placing 94th out of almost 7000 Athletes in Australia in the 2022 CrossFit Open, Ryan hopes to advance even further in the next Season.
