But why is foot & ankle training so important? Because without proper foot & ankle mechanics it’s impossible to perform any lower body exercise correctly. That means even your running, jumping, squatting, lunge, deadlift, hip hinge, & even your walking mechanics will be off.

Make sure you go barefoot or wear barefoot shoes like I show here with Vivobarefoot (code DRJOEL25 or VIVO20DRJOEL) as research shows this maximize foot & ankle function, lower body biomechanics, leg growth, joint health, injury prevention, & athletic performance.

Activation of the lower body starts with your foot & ankle complex is this is your point of ground contact. If the feet & ankles aren’t firing properly this compromises activation all the way up the kinetic chain. Unfortunately traditional shoes blunt this activation response & causes the muscles of the foot & ankle complex to become semi-lethargic in how they fire not to mention it alters your biomechanics.

New Workout Challenge!! My FREE book explains all the training methods I use with my clients & athletes. https://www.advancedhumanperformance.com/movement-redefined-fundamentals .

Happy Birthday Leslie who turns 65 today and is without a doubt one of the strongest women on the planet not just for her age and weight but across the board.

Leslie is always up for a great challenge especially on her birthday. This year we tried the 65 lb barbell challenge in honor of her turning 65. Women use 65 lb barbells and men use 95 lb barbells.

Perform one perfect rep on the following 10 exercises with 1 min rest between each exercises.

The 10 Exercises for the 65/95 challenge.

1.Single Leg Squats.
2. Kickstand High Pulls.
3. Bent Over Row.
4. Double Arm Chest Press.
5. Squat High Pull.
6. Pullup Hold.
7. Overhead Hold.
8. Lunge
9. Single Arm Chest Press.
10. Double Arm Shoulder Press Hold

Bonus: Deadstop Chinup-Pullup. This is the only one Leslie didn’t complete although she was close. The difficulty on this is next level.

Besides being a great challenge this workout also exposes & addresses a variety of imbalances, muscle dysfunction, & compensation patterns as lack of motor control, stability & proper form will result inability to control the volatile unstable loads.

Leslie has been training with me 14 years with zero weight training experience before that. She’s competed in national level NPC figure shows at the highest levels drug free never using any steroids or illegal garbage ergogenic aids. In fact she barely even uses supplements. Furthermore she’s stayed pain-free over these 14 years with zero significant injuries over this time period.

So what’s the secret?? 90 Degree Eccentric Isometrics protocol. It’s the single most effective training method not only for staying injury free & bulletproofing the joints but also for maximizing muscle growth, strength, power, athletic performance, & joint health especially for natural athletes.

The methods are working & God gets all the glory.

Research Confirms 90 Deg! My FREE ebook MOVEMENT REDEFINED Fundamentals explains all science.

7 Pubmed References below.

Best shoes code DRJOEL25 last week to save 25% off. These shoes are scientifically shown to improve joint health, muscle function, & athletic performance.

Here I’m showing 5 variations of explosive power exercises using the XPT Power Rack from . This is an incredible device that allows you to literally launch the barbell as it catches it for you. But the key is to maximize power output you want to use 90 deg.

Yes, most areas of research confirm that partials particularly at 90 degree joint angles are superior for muscle growth, strength, explosive power, athletic performance, & joint health. Unless you’re a competitive Olympic weightlifter or Powerlifter who needs to use full depth for their specific competitions, there’s really no reason to squat past 90 deg joint angles.

Furthermore when we examine all areas of science including structural muscle physiology, biomechanics, neuromuscular physiology, osteokinematics, & more, we find all areas are congruent with each other pointing to the 90 degree method as ideal. In other words the goal is natural range of motion, not max range of motion.

And 90 deg joint angles = significantly above parallel due to tibial inclination. A parallel squat is roughly 120 deg of knee flexion.

Thousands of folks around the world are adopting the 90 degree eccentric isometrics method as I show here for one reason only!! RESULTS!! People are not only reporting more muscle growth, strength, & joint health but also healing & restoration to injured regions of the body no other modality could treat. The methods are working & Yahweh God and Yeshua Messiah get all the glory!!

Secret to SPRINT Better⚠️! My FREE book explains all the training methods & science.

Here’s NFL pro & son Chris demonstrating a sprinter dumbbell lunge. Make sure to check out my latest Right Angle Podcast episode with Duron talking about our training.

If you want to get better at sprinting you need to sprint. However, sprinting & running happen so quickly in terms of strides per unit of time, it’s very difficult to clean up form & fix mechanics if something is amiss. Because most athletes have compensations, imbalances, and form issues in their running form, correcting it during their actual sprinting can be incredibly difficult. In essence the activity is occurring at such a rapid rate it’s tough to correct during the actual activity. Even if an athlete is able to momentarily correct it they will likely revert back to old compensation patterns once they stop thinking about it.

That’s why it’s important to use 90 degree eccentric isometrics or any system that allows the athlete to slow the movement down almost like slow-motion, deconstruct their mechanics, attend to sensory feedback then make the necessary adjustments to fine-tune their technique. Once they do this in a controlled systematic scenario where they can break down each & every segment of their stride, now they can adjust, correct, & modify even the most subtle of technique issues.

As a result they begin to truly re-program & reeducate their CNS & create new & improved neuromuscular memory with enhanced motor programs that transfer to all similar skills no matter the speed. This means their new go-to strategy for that movement pattern such as sprinting will be improved at the deeper level so they don’t have to think about it on the field. This is the art of movement mastery & this is why we use the 90 degree eccentric isometrics protocol on all movements for our athletes including squats, hinge, lunges, presses, pulls, & more.

Double Pause Hover Deadlift. My FREE book explains all of my training methods link bio.

Here’s NPC figure athlete on a great deadlift protocol known as the hover deadlift or double pause deadlift that powerlifters have been doing for years. I stole this from strength coach so definitely give him a follow.

The deadlift tends to breakdown at the bottom of the movement right when the weight starts to leave the floor. By forcing the lifter pause 1 inch from the floor on both the eccentric and concentric it requires the lifter to fine-tune their form & technique.

You’ll have to go quite a bit lighter on these since you’re eliminating momentum. However the combination of lighter loads combined with high levels of mechanical tension and time under tension are great for:

1. Muscle Growth.
2. Strength Gains.
3. Joint Health.
4. Low Back Health
5. Improving deadlift technique.
 
Yes, these can be done with a straight bar however I highly recommend the trap bar as it’s much safer on the spine & joints. Unless you’re a competitive powerlifter the trap bar is a better option. You can also use more weight making it better for muscle growth.
 
I recommend setting the starting height at your natural 90 degree joint angle position which is typically a few inches above traditional trap bar height. To find this position lock your posture in very tight (very rigid spine) and keep the feet perfectly straight while maintaining full body tension. Sit into your lowest position you can without losing these elements. That should be your approximate starting deadlift height.

10 facts about the Band Suspender Method.

1.We apply it to a variety of lower body movements such as squats, hinges, & lunges that involve more front loading or upper body dominant loading.

2. This includes dumbbell goblet squat variations, kettlebell front rack drills, barbell front rack exercises, heavy dumbbell split squats & lunges, Zercher squats variations, Overhead squats/lunge variations, oblique sling exercises, & front curl loading method.

3. All these leg exercises are incredibly therapeutic for the lower body & spine.

4. These variations are also more user friendly & help cue proper technique.

5. In fact, many of these leg variations could be considered corrective therapeutic exercises similar to physical therapy.

6. Unfortunately with all these variations the upper body tends to be somewhat of a limiting factor.

7. For the dumbbell exercises such as lunges & RDL’s most gyms don’t go past 100 lbs. Even our gym only goes up to 120 lb. But many of our athletes can handle more weight.

8. The Suspender Band method resolves all these issues as it allows the lifter to utilize all these therapeutic lower body exercises while providing greater directly leg loading without contributing to additional upper body fatigue.

9. These reinforce strong foot activation as band tension pulls against the feet & arches forcing you to screw their feet into the floor more aggressively.

10. These enhance posture since the band goes directly on the neck & wants to round the shoulders & pull the lifter into cervical flexion unless they activate their posture muscles, upper back & lats.

Joint Angles Matter!! More in my FREE book MOVEMENT REDEFINED link in bio.

Our thoughts & prayers to anyone with injuries like this.

There’s a common misconception & myth perpetuated in the fitness industry that biomechanics, form, joint angles, & technique are not as important as we thought. This is a big fat LIE!!! Biomechanics, joint angles, & technique matter more than we ever realized.

No, the body does not adapt to faulty biomechanics, instead it rebels. That’s because God made our bodies very precisely. Therefore, have very precises boundaries for what constitutes as optimal movement for the human body particularly under high load and high force scenarios.

Although there is a mild amount of adaptation to any stimulus this adaptation process does not happen at a rapid or significant enough of a rate to overcome poor biomechanics & prevent injury. Otherwise folks who have repeated & consistent compensation patterns (i.e. valgus knee collapse) would be the least prone to ACL Valgus related tears since their bodies should have adapted to the stimulus. But this does NOT occur.

Instead individuals with consistent valgus collapse are significantly more prone to ACL injuries & valgus-related movement patterns. Simply, they don’t adapt but instead the body rebels as shown by research. This faulty adaptation process that the fitness industry has been shoving down our throats is actually based on another highly flawed model namely Darwinian Evolution.

Not only is there ZERO research to support Darwinian evolution but most of the research contradicts it. All the principles evolution is based on have ever been observed. This starts with the most outlandish of ideas that life comes from non-life. We have not one single example of this and can for all intensive purposes show this is not true to the point that even most evolutionists and scientists agree with this
Also, we see no archeological records of transitional phases of species only distinct separate ones. This means macroevolution does NOT occur but microevolution does within laws of God’s creation as shown in the Bible. Case closed!!

Strength, Stability, & Power Workout! My FREE book explains all of the training methods I use with my clients including pro & collegiate athletes.

Here’s NFL pro on a 7-Part full body workout that emphasized strength, power, stability, & muscle growth.

Best shoes code DRJOEL25. Last chance to save 25% off these shoes that are research proven to enhance muscle function & joint health.

Here are the 7 Exercises this workout.

1. Smith Machine Eccentric Overload Bench Press. Eccentric overload is research proven to be one of the most effective methods for strength, muscle growth, & injury prevention. Here’s a great way to apply it to bench press. Yes you can just use manual tension rather than a dumbbell but then you don’t know how to gauge how much or how little you’re using so you can’t track it.

2. Plate Swings. Like kettlebell swings but with a narrow more athletic stance. You can use a narrow stance with kettlebells to the sides but it feels like you’re going to crush your knees with the thick kettlebells especially once they start getting heavier. Plates fit perfectly to the sides of the body allowing a neutral sport-specific stance without fear of crushing your knee caps.

3. Trap Bar Kickstand Deadlift Squats & High Pulls. Great for power, strength, symmetry & muscle growth.

4. Sprinter Bird Dog Row. The Bent leg sprinter position I stole from fellow trainer & kinesiologist .

5. Dumbbell Bulgarian Cleans (contralateral oblique slings loading). Great sub for traditional Olympic lifts.

6. Trap Bar Pullups. Neutral grip easier to find lats & tuck elbows.

7. Trap Bar Overhead Press. Neutral grip easier on shoulder joint.

Here’s MLB pro on a recent stability workout where we did 12 eyes-closed exercises using the 90 degree eccentric isometrics method.

A few things to keep in mind. This workout was sandwiched between 2 other workouts during the week both of which were heavy traditional barbell & dumbbell workouts. This workout was mid week between those with the emphasis on technique, alignment, posture, stability, motor control, body mechanics, muscle activation, symmetry etc.

Eyes closed training is something we use quite often with our athletes at it forces the lifter to rely more on proprioception & sense of feel to perform the movements.

Combined with the 90 degree eccentric isometrics protocol this is the ultimate for mastering movement & body mechnanics. That’s because 90 degree eccentric isometrics emphasize max tension under stretched conditions (optimal stretch not excessive) which is typically at roughly 90 deg joint angles or moderately stetched position. This is where we also have maximal proprioceptive feedback from muscle spindles. That means our sense of feel and ability to fine-tune our movement is heightened. Combined with eyes closed this truly helps the lifter master their movement & body mechanics.

Besides optimizing quality of movement this also insures max joint health, muscle growth, & strength gains due to enhanced neuromuscular efficiency.

In order to reap the full benefits of 90 deg EI method & eyes closed training this requires 3 key ingredients. 1) Perfect Posture. 2) Proper Foot Mechanics, 3) Deep Core Activation.

NFL athletes Elijah Wilkinson and Carter Warren crushing this. The anti-rolling barbell pushup is one of my favorite pushup variations for correcting form since it requires the lifter to engage their lats & core while staying tall & on top of the bar rather than sagging behind. It also reinforces 90 deg joint angles.

Unilateral Training – 7 Facts. My FREE ebook MOVEMENT REDEFINED Fundamentals explains all my training methods. link bio.

Here’s kinesiologist, personal trainer, & PhD candidate on a unilateral workout with many exercises involving oblique slings.

7 Facts about Unilateral or Single Limb Training.

1.Unilateral training is very important for athletes as it not only exposes asymmetries, compensation patterns, & imbalances but it also addresses them.

2. Most athletes find they have 1 side significantly more challenging than the other so it’s important get the weaker side to catch up.

3. This is best accomplished by using slow & controlled tempos with 90 deg as it allows the athlete to fine-tune their form & firing patterns via enhanced proprioceptive feedback.

4. Go barefoot to maximize sense of feel. My athletes either go barefoot or wear barefoot shoes like Vivobarefoot (code DRJOEL25).

5. Focus on posture & alignment to maintain control. This starts with tall, retracted & elongated head & neck position. Then pull the shoulders down & back with the stomach/abs braced & pulled in. Also keep the feet perfectly straight on bilateral drills or slightly rotated in on unilateral drills.

6. Emphasize 90 deg joint angles with Eccentric Isometrics to optimize physiological function, & biomechanics. That means more muscle growth, strength, joint health, & athletic performance. More in my FREE book MOVEMENT REDEFINED Fundamentals link bio.

7. Thousands of people around the world reporting how 90 deg eccentric isometrics healed & transformed their bodies giving them more muscle growth, strength, & athleticism than any method. God gets all the glory!
