fwiw, foam rolling my IT bands and switching to ATG squats eliminated my patellar tendonitis
directly after rolling my IT bands i would have no knee pain for a short while. perhaps getting my glutes a better workout through ATG squats solidified my progress?

Who knows... maybe that temporary relief allowed you to squat better and therefore improve your glute strength.

that's what im thinking. i did have another factor involved though: strengthing my VMO's and changing the firing pattern of my quads.
i had made a thread about this a long time ago. here's a vid i made. left knee was bad knee. right knee was good knee.

notice when the VMO fired on each quad. today my left quad fires just like my right quad.

What you show in that video happens for my right leg, which has knee issues, but worse in my case.
