Traditional strength training is responsible for more injuries than perhaps any modality in existence. From hip, knee, & low back issues to shoulder, neck, & elbow injuries the list of associated injuries is endless. That’s why we use 90 degree eccentric isometrics as I lay out in my new FREE book MOVEMENT REDEFINED Fundamentals which explains all my methods & training protocols.
Lots of folks ask why don’t my methods resemble traditional strength training? Why in the world would I want them to when traditional strength training contribute to more injuries than they prevent. And yes there is endless research on this that I’ll be laying out in one of my upcoming YouTube videos.
I thought it was going to be a bit tricky to find enough studies to back this up but in reality there is myriad research & science showing the consequences, ramifications, & injuries that are caused by traditional strength training. So NO, I would never ever want my training methods to ever resemble the antiquated, outdated, & injurious ways of traditional strength training commonly used in the industry. More in my new YouTube podcast video.
90 Deg eccentric isometrics not only maximize muscle growth, strength, & explosive power but they also optimize joint health, quality of movement, proprioception, stability, symmetry, & yes even mobility. That’s because when your muscles are healthy your whole body functions better.
When your muscles are unhealthy (as is the common case with traditional strength training) then your whole body is sickly. Much of this is related to the fact that muscles are the largest endocrine organ of the body so how they function & operate impacts your entire physiology. I discuss this in full depth in last week’s Right Angle Podcast episode on YouTube.
I also discuss very in depth in my new FREE ebook MOVEMENT REDEFINED Fundamentals on my website, link bio.
