His advice is good for one (albeit common) type of knee injury. It's a bit annoying he think he's solved all people's knee issues. Or, I guess it's just so everyone will buy his program.
It also irks me how he sometimes play into a "big pharma" kinda conspiracy. That "everyone" says you shouldn't have knees in front of toes, but he is the single person looking through this ruse and selling you the secret.
FWIW I've had patellar tendonitis before, and the rehab I got was doing eccentric squats on an inclined surface, explicitly to get my knees over the toes and help put a balanced load on the tendon. So his "secret" has been the common approach for at least a decade.

- gmadsen 4y agonot sure what videos you watched, but he has plenty of videos citing his sources of work done in the 70s and 80s. He also recommends far more and varied movements than the split squat.
