Offset Loading!! My FREE book MOVEMENT REDEFINED Fundamentals is FREE & explains all of my training methods.

Best shoes code DRJOEL15.

Here’s NPC figure athlete on offset trap bar deadlifts/squats.

Offset loading & offset training methods are some of the most effective techniques for enhancing form, technique, and body mechanics. These not only expose asymmetries & imbalances throughout the kinetic chain but help clean them up almost immediately.

Each set aim for 3-4 reps per side. Start off with just 5-10% more load on one side.

The goal should be to make these as smooth & seamless as possible so it doesn’t look like it’s offset but instead looks like a traditional movement. The motor control, stability, strength, & full body tension required is through the roof.

Once you return to traditional variations you’ll feel that much more locked in. Aim for 90 degree joint angles to maximize muscle growth, strength, & joint health as I lay out in my FREE ebook as well as my YouTube videos link in bio.

The 90 Degree Eccentric Isometrics method is changing bodies & lives around the world for God’s glory. Just give it a try that’s all I ask. More in my FREE book link bio.

Here’s football athlete on a tough full body workout with a focus on strength, explosive power, muscle growth, stability, and core stabilization. Here’s the 9-part workout we did yesterday.

1.Longitudinal Trap Bar Deadlift Squat to High Pull. Longitudinal orientation requires more motor control, stability, & symmetrical loading/alignment to control the unstable load. High pulls are great for power output and force absorption/impact training on the catch.

2. Overhead Standing Cable Crunch to Plank. Think of this as a combination long lever standing plank & overhead crunch for great elongation of the abs before the concentric shortening. These torch the core.

3. Dumbbell Bulgarian Squats on Stability Device (code AHPTOES).

4. T-Bar Rows & RDL’s. Reset every 2-3 reps to prevent lower back from fatiguing. Also provides treat 2 in 1 exercise (row and hinge).

5. Knee Flexion Hamstring Loaded Pullups.

6. Kneeling Overhead Landmine Viking Press.

7. Incline Barbell Bench Press with Hollow Body Leg Raise and Fat Grips.

8. Grip work with .co .

9. Split Stance Straight Arm Lat Pulldowns.

Notice we use 90 deg joint angles on all exercises as well as many 90 degree eccentric isometrics as science shows this optimizes motor unit recruitment, length tension relationship of muscle fibers, biomechanical leverage, co-contraction, muscle spindle activation, & intramuscular tension. This results in more muscle growth, strength gains, explosive power, joint health, & athletic performance. Also people are reporting incredible healing benefits of 90 deg EI. God gets all the glory!

Huge congrats to football athletes & committing to Marshall!

This workout where we incorporated post activation potentiation via contrast training supersets. That simply means we performed a heavy overload exercise using the 90 degree Eccentric Isometrics method several minutes prior to an explosive exercise using the same firing patterns.

Research shows this method going heavy 2-5 minutes prior to light explosive sets helps the athlete produce even greater power output and speed on the subsequent explosive power exercise. This phenomenon is known as post activation potentiation or post activation performance enhancement. Simply, you potentiate the CNS or hyperactivate the CNS with a heavy exercise which also increases motor unit recruitment, & power output on the explosive drill.

When you apply the 90 degree eccentric isometrics method not only do you get even more motor unit recruitment but you give the athlete the opportunity to clean up their activation patterns, technique & neuromuscular efficiency prior to the explosive exercise since 90 deg EI are amazing for fine-tuning body mechanics.

Had some fun with my new Christmas toys. These farmer’s walk handles are great not just for loaded carries but also squats, hinges, rows, lunges, & more. These torched my postural muscles more so than trap bar since you have to intentionally pull the weights to your sides.

Exercise Description in comments.

Without perfect posture it’s impossible to perform any exercise correctly. But with proper postural alignment it’s nearly impossible to perform a movement incorrectly. Posture doesn’t just impact biomechanics & movement patterns. It impacts the entire human body.

Proper posture starts with tall, elongated & retracted head position which impacts entire kinetic chain.

Great several weeks of training with Clemson softball athlete .cintron as we brushed up on a few details with her lower body.

This workout the goal was to still target full body (I’m a big believer in full body workouts and including the Big 7) but we emphasized lower body stabilization & motor control.

Additionally we focused on foot & ankle mechanics as this is a missing link for many athletes particularly those that spend many hours in cleats & athletic shoes. That’s why our athletes either go barefoot or wear barefoot shoes like Vivobarefoot (code DRJOEL15) when they train in order to maximize lower body activation & biomechanics.

Here’s yesterday’s whole workout routine.

1.Split Squat Lunges with front foot on device (code AHPTOES) and back foot on . These require insane levels of motor control, alignment, & perfect foot & ankle mechanics. Once you go back to traditional lunges you’ll feel stronger & more locked in.

2. Sprinter Single Leg RDL on Slant Board from .

3. Single Leg Stand on stability tool from .

4. Shin Raises with Tib Bar from code JS10.

5. Single Leg Goblet Squats on Foam Pad from Theraband.

6. Dorsiflexion Ledge Squats.

7. Zercher Squats on ToeSpacer device (code AHPTOES).

8. Split Stance RDL & Rows.

9. Single Leg Sprinter Hip Bridge Chest Press.

10. Wall Shin Raise. Great drill from .

11. Pullups with Perfect Posture & Dorsiflexion.

12. Jump Squats emphasis on landing as this has been a struggle for Macey.

13. Standing overhead Dumbbell Press on ToeSpacer device (code AHPTOES).

Here’s NFL RB on 8 exercises for strengthening & activation of feet, ankles, shins, & toes. These are phenomenal for injury prevention & bulletproofing ankles, knees, & hips. Congrats Phil for great NFL debut yesterday for .

Without proper foot & ankle mechanics it’s impossible to perform any lower body exercise correctly not to mention placing yourself at greater risk for leg injuries.

8 exercise to bulletproof feet & ankles.

1.Single Leg Sprinter Stand + Kettlebell Loading. Load the Kettlebell on the ankle for added work to hip flexors & ankle dorsiflexors/shins. The RNT banded tension to the opposite/plant leg creates a valgus force the lifter must resist by popping their arches up & gripping the floor with their feet/toes aggressively.

2. Eccentric Overload Shin/Tib Bar Raises. Tib Bar from code JS10.

3. Single Leg Swaps. Add unstable surface or balance device like stability tool for greater stimulus. Code AHPTOES.

4. Partner Perturbation Lunges. Research-based way of activating stabilizers in lower body.

5. Single Leg Sprinter RDL’s. Activates oblique slings.

6. Single Leg Jums + Landing. Impact on single leg is key for athletic performance & injury prevention.

7. Single Leg Dynamic Conditioning Drills like or Battle Ropes. The oscillations from upper body movement requires even greater stability & alignment in feet & ankles.

8. Lunges on Unstable Surface/Foam Pad. Small perturbations & oscillations with heavy loading = great exercise for entire lower body & cues motor control.

Bonus: Squats on Unstable Surface like (code drjoel) or Bosu Ball. The key for max foot & ankle activation is using 90 degree eccentric isometrics. Going deeper results in compromised activation throughout kinetic chain including feet & ankles.

Go barefoot or wear barefoot shoes like code DRJOEL15.

Happy birthday 🎂🎊 personal trainer . Here’s his latest workout we did to spur on some new growth & strength gains for his b-day.

The 8-Part Workout.

1.Deadstop Anderson Squats with Cambered Bar Squat from Repfitness. Aim for 20-30 deg above parallel (90 deg joint angles) for maximal muscle activation, strength gains, muscle growth, & joint health.

2. Reverse Grip Landmine Viking Overhead Press. Reverse grip to reinforces lat activation, elbow tuck, & proper shoulder mechanics.

3. Reverse Grip Bench Press. Made popular by legend all-natural bodybuilder as a great chest & triceps builder + reinforces proper elbow & shoulder position + lat activation & therapeutic on shoulder joint.

4. T-Bar Rows & RDL biomechanical drop set/superset. Once upper back fatigues & perfect rows are no longer possible switch to RDL’s.

5. Straight Arm Lat Pulldown. Notice perfect posture & spread at bottom for greater lat activation & external rotation of shoulders.

6. Narrow Neutral Grip Pullups. Notice elbow tuck & lat activation with excellent t-spine extension & head position (posture).

7. Grip work .co . Awesome forearm/grip/hand/wrist trainer. Can adjust for all levels of grip strength & very therapeutic.

8. Split Squat Lunges superset with narrow stance squat holds. Biomechanical drop set (taking the same weight & using a stronger position at end of set once fatigue hits.

Use 90 degree joint angles to maximize muscle growth, joint health, injury recovery, & strength. Folks around the world using the 90 deg Eccentric Isometrics methods & seeing miraculous results not just physique & performance benefits but healing of pain & injuries no other modality including medical intervention could resolve. God gets all the glory.

Sshoutout for modifying with plate + sprinter knee raise for grip strength & full body tension.

2. Bear Crawl Stability Ball Rollout with med ball hip adduction.

3. Posture Squats on Safety Bar .

4. Sprinter Reverse Goblet Lunges/Split Squats.

5. Partial Nordic Hamstring Curls. shoutout for these as they are exponentially more effective, safe, & therapeutic than traditional full ROM Nordics. Focus on posture & keeping glutes engaged/shortened rather than allowing any break at hips. Also great Nordic bench from .

6. Underhand Wide Grip Barbell RDL.

7. Single Leg Oblique Slings Dumbbell Chest Press.

8. Bird Dog Row. This is another one I introduced to the fitness community over a decade ago on T-nation & is incredible for core & lats.
