Here are collegiate football athletes and on a tune-up & form check-up workout as I hadn’t seen them for several months since just before football season. The goal was not overload, strength gains, muscle growth, or maximal power output but instead quality of movement, motor control, stability, symmetry, alignment, posture, balance, and overall technique & body mechanics.

We were also trying to provide a therapeutic stimulus to the tissues, joints, & muscles since their bodies were still a bit beat up from the season. This is also setting the stage for the next few months of heavy strength training of which maximizing muscle growth, strength, & explosive power will be the goal.

So making sure form & technique are dialed in so we’re not building strength on top of faulty mechanics and muscle dysfunction is absolutely critical. That was the goal of this workout.

With that said we examined a variety of exercises & movements including basic dumbbell movements, kettlebell exercises, and bodyweight / calisthenics drills applied to the “Big 7 Movements” I highlight in my FREE book MOVEMENT REDEFINED on my website.

Here are the 14 exercises.

1.Single Leg Sprinter RDL with Kettlebell.
2. Single Leg Sprinter Glute Bridge.
3. Dumbbell Goblet Squat 90 Deg EI.
4. Knee Raise Kettlebell Pullover.
5. Double Rebound Jump Squats.
6. Single Leg Pushups.
7. Squatting Seated Cable Rows.
8. Single Arm Bottoms Up Kettlebell Chest Press.
9. Lunge Jumps.
10. Single Arm Plank
11. Single Arm Dumbbell RDL.
12. Chinups.
13. Single Arm Dumbbell Floor Press.
14. Bottoms Up Overhead Shoulder Press.

We did 2 rounds of 2-5 reps on each exercise with 90 degree eccentric isometrics protocol. The 90 deg EI method maximizes muscle growth, strength, joint health, athletic performance, power output, & injury recovery. Folks around the world are witnessing miraculous results with this method. God get’s all the glory.

The Science of 90°. New YouTube Podcast now live! Use 90 degree joint angles for maximal growth, strength, & joint health. My new FREE ebook MOVEMENT REDEFINED Fundamentals explains everything.

Best shoes 25% off code DRJOEL25. These shoes have scientifically been proven to enhance muscle activation & joint health.

One of the most common mistakes on squats, hinges, lunges, presses, pulls, & most exercises is trying to over-stretch & use excessive range of motion. This not only compromises muscle growth & strength gains but also increases risk of injury including joint degeneration.

This is why we focus on the optimally stretched not maximally stretched position. This is typically around 90 degree joint angles. On RDL’s that means 90 deg at the hip joint which means torso roughly 20 deg above parallel since knees are slightly bent.

But how do you know where 90 deg is? The secret is perfect posture, tight core, & straight feet. Once you lock in your posture by first finding your head & neck position (tall, retracted, & elongated head), pin the shoulders down & back, pull the core in tight, screw the feet into the floor kept perfectly straight & then create full body tension, 90 deg will be your maximal range of motion. To go deeper you’ll also have to sacrifice these cues.

My new FREE ebook explains everything. But why is it FREE when I know I could make some good money off this?? Because the goal is to help change as many lives as possible & reach as many people as possible for God’s glory!! I don’t care if I sacrifice financial gain as long as I am pointing folks to the Almighty & pleasing Him!

Eccentric Overload! 25% off All Training programs code HOLIDAY25, link in bio.

Also my book MOVEMENT REDEFINED Fundamentals is FREE & explains all of my training methods.

Here’s collegiate softball athlete on a full body workout where we used the Smith Machine for eccentric overload.

Research shows eccentric overload (handling more weight on lowering or negative phase than concentric/lifting phase) is one of the most effective methods for triggering muscle growth, strength, & power, as well as bulletproofing the body in terms of injury prevention & joint health.

Most versions of eccentric overload require a spotter (i.e. heavy negatives on bench press) to help you lift the weight back to the top. However the Smith machine allows self-assisted eccentric overload by using the BANA 2:1 method (bilateral assisted negative accentuate) or up with 2 limbs & down with 1 limb. In essence you’re using a load that’s roughly 60-70% of 1 RM for concentric phase which is 120-140% of your 1RM for single limb version thereby producing intense eccentric overload.

The Full workout.

1.BANA 2:1 Smith Machine Eccentric Overload Squats to Lunge.
2. BANA 2:1 Smith Machine Eccentric Overload Bent Over Rows.
3. BANA 2:1 Smith Machine Eccentric Overload Shoulder Press.
4. BANA 2:1 Smith Machine Eccentric Overload Bench Press.
5. BANA 2:1 Smith Machine Eccentric Overload Upright Rows.
6. Eccentric Overload Pullups with slight cheat/jump on concentric.
7. 90 Deg Eccentric Isometrics Split Squat Lunge Hold with Trap Bar.
8. 90 Deg Eccentric Isoo RDL Hold Trap Bar.

Use 90 degree joint angles in order to optimize motor unit recruitment, intramuscular tension, & muscle activation. The 90 deg EI method = more muscle growth, strength, joint health, & explosive power. It also promotes healing & restoration to injured sites & regions of pain more than any other modality including any form of soft tissue work.

Thousands of people are reporting near-miraculous results from the 90 Deg EI method. God gets all the glory. Read more in my FREE book.

Here’s NFL & CFL athlete on Table Top Squeeze Press. Research demonstrates eccentric overload is one of the most effective techniques for inducing high levels of muscular strength & size as well as injury prevention.
 
4 Benefits of this move.
 
1.This variation implements eccentric overload to an already legit exercise, the squeeze press which in & of itself torches the chest & triceps. Just make sure you have a legit spotter to strategically overload the eccentric & deload the concentric.
 
2. It’s also a great way to increase the total load of dumbbells when you have athletes who can go much heavier than the current load you have access to. For instance we only have 120’s at our facility so this variation allowed the athletes to go much heavier.
 
3. The table top squeeze press is also very conducive for teaching the lifter how to slow the movement down & control the eccentric phase as a means of ensuring the plate remains stable on top of the dumbbells. Simply it requires high levels of motor control & constant tension as well as slow eccentrics.
 
4. Another bonus is you have an immediate potentiation response as your CNS is hyperactivated from the supramaximal eccentric thus making the deloaded concentric feel relatively light allowing the athlete to explode up & produce high power output.
 
Shoutout to athlete & trainer for excellent spotting & coaching here as well.

Here are 10 Unique Squat variations with the safety squat bar. Many of these not only provide novel stimuli but offer joint friendly alternatives & technique correction cues that traditional barbell squats don’t offer.

1.Lateral Loaded Squats (Fireman Rescue Squats). Crushes one side of body with most of the force channeled through one trap, lat, core, glute, & quad. Addresses imbalances & provides a functional movement similar to squatting down & picking up a body off the floor (fireman rescue).

2. Eccentric Overload Hatfield Squats. Great way to use eccentric overload on squats.

3. Kettlebell Supination Posture Squat. Cues perfect posture & spinal alignment via lat activation.

4. Front Squats. Much more comfortable & natural feeling than barbell front squats.

5. Sprinter Split Squat Lunges. Targets oblique slings for athletes.

6. Safety Squat & Zercher Squats Combo. Dual loading requiring full body tension. + Reap benefits of Zercher Squats without crushing arms/elbow with bar.

7. Safety Squats & Trap Bar Combo. The most full body tension/posture correction squat you’ll ever do.

8. Hex Dumbbell Pinch Grip Squats. Research shows intense grip activation creates concurrent activation potentiation which is fancy terms for teaches athlete to stay tight & eliminate energy leaks.

9. Hatfield Split Squats with Arm Assistance. Great way to overload the legs with a bit of upper body assistance. I prefer using lateral assistance rather than bar in front as this helps cue better posture.

10. Split Squat Lunges with Dumbbell Lateral Raises. Great 2 in 1. Can also be done with biceps curls.

Here’s NFL pro doing offset leverage bench press.

Offset Leverage using just an empty barbell (or with slight additional loading on one side) is one of the most challenging training methods there is and can be applied to any barbell movement. These not only expose asymmetries & imbalances in your shoulders, upper back, chest, triceps, & rotator cuff muscles but also in the core & spinal stabilizers.

Each set aim for 3-4 reps per side. Start off shifting over 6-12 inches to one side and each set try to work your way over farther & farther until you’re holding the end of the collar as I show here. If that’s still too easy for you add a 5 lb weight to the opposite side as that exponentially increases the difficulty.

The goal should be to make these as smooth & seamless as possible so it doesn’t even look like it’s offset but instead looks like a traditional shoulder press. The motor control, stability, strength, & full body tension required on these 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 new FREE ebook as well as my new 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 a recent band workout MLB pro baseball athlete do. This workout not only is very joint friendly & therapeutic but also great for strength, stability, & athletic performance.

1.Oblique Slings Sprinter Dumbbell Chest Press. Oblique slings = Chest, glutes, hip flexors, core.

2. Oblique Slings Single Leg Dumbbell Squat. Without the band it’s tough to really target the legs as much as you need to. But the band remedies that issue.

3. Sprinter Bird Dog Row. Hits posterior chain & core. Shoutout this modification.

4. Lat Pulldown with Mini Band Handcuff Method (helps cue lats by forcing the lateral portion of the hand/ulnar side of the arm to drive into the bar otherwise the band tension will pull the pinky fingers off the bar. Tension on the lateral portion of the hand/ulnar side is key for lat activation & posture.

5. Overhead Barbell Shoulder Press with Mini Band Handcuff Method same benefits as above cueing lats & reinforcing keeping shoulders down & back. Also helps with external rotation of the shoulders.

6. Single leg Sprinter RDL. Besides working the glute these teach the athlete how to coil into the hips which is paramount for sports performance & athletics.

7. Oblique Slings Kettlebell Split Squat Lunge. Contralateral loading typically doesn’t involve enough load for legs to get hit heavy since you only load one arm. However the band remedies that while still reaping benefits of oblique slings firing pattern.

Is this dangerous? For me & my clients NO, because we’ve mastered our body mechanics with 90 deg EI. For most others folks yes it’s quite dangerous.

Here’s why.

From ages 18-26 I trained deep ass-to-grass (ATG) squats max range of motion. I had no pain for 5-6 years & saw decent progress until my mid 20’s then it hit. My joints started hurting badly (hips, low back, knees, shoulder, neck), I started getting injuries I’d never had, my strength & muscle mass actually regressed, & my athletic performance plummeted.

After much prayer & seeking wisdom from God, he led me to do my PhD in kinesiology where I came upon incredible truths about max range of motion vs optimal range of motion. All of the research in neuromuscular physiology, biomechanics, & structural muscle physiology were congruent with each showing 90 Deg joint angles was optimal for humans under loaded high force scenarios. Just because a certain range of motion or position is possible doesn’t mean it’s optimal under high loads.

There are consequences for consistently operating outside the boundaries of how God created our bodies to function particularly under high force scenarios. In contrast when we use our bodies the way God intended us to use them, not only do we stay pain free & injury free but injuries, pain, inflammation, & dysfunction, & compensation patterns begin to heal up, recover, & disappear including injuries that were present for years & were untreatable by doctors.

This is why we’ve seen countless scenarios where individuals were supposed to have surgery but 90 deg eccentric isometrics miraculously healed their bodies. It did this for me & it’s done the same for thousands around the world. No man including myself can take any of the credit. God gives wisdom & guidance if we seek him. Now I can safely do things I was unable to do in my 20’s.

Here’s NFL vet on a 9-Part workout we did today focusing on posture, alignment, stability, strength, symmetry, power, & hypertrophy.

Let’s go through the 9 Exercises.

1.Cross Body Overhead Hold + Seated Cable Row. Most folks have trouble keeping their shoulders down on rows as they often harbor too much tension in the neck, traps, & shoulders. With this move, the harder the overhead arm presses up, the more the shoulder & scapula of rowing arm depress down, allowing us to engage upper back & lats. Besides improving the muscle mind connection in the lats & upper back this is very therapeutic for neck pain, shoulder pain, & upper back pain. As an added bonus these do wonders for overhead mobility & overhead lockout position many folks struggle with.

2. Single Leg Bridge Dumbbell Pullover. Opens up t-spine, hips, shoulders, core & more.

3. Barbell Squats with Band Resistance. Bands code AHP20.

4. Rotational Split Stance Isometric Hold.

5. Single Leg RDL & Clean.

6. Box Bench Press + Band Resistance.

7. Pullups with Plate Loaded Hip Flexion.

8. Contralateral Loading Oblique Slings Split Squat Lunge.

9. Machine Shoulder Press.

We also emphasized 90 degree eccentric isometrics in order to optimize motor unit recruitment, intramuscular tension, & muscle activation.

The 90 deg EI method = more muscle growth, strength, joint health, & power. It also promotes healing & restoration to injured sites & regions of pain more than any other modality including any form of soft tissue work.

Here’s college football RB on a full body workout emphasizing stability, posture, strength, motor control, & core stabilization. Ryan is one of the more underrated running backs in college football so if you know of any teams or coaches in D1 NCCA football looking for a very physical running back next season make sure to message him.
Here’s the 8 part workout.
1.Bear Craw Ab Rollouts with Band Resistance. One of my favorite core & ab exercises.

2. Trap Bar Deadlifts with handles & trap bar. 2 Benefits. 1) because the heavy load is hanging from straps it will swing & shift forward, back, or side to side unless the lifter lifts perfectly symmetrically & stays centered. Also if they let their weight shift too far forward (which places undue stress on the low back) the bar will swing forward. Simply put it provides an immediate form of feedback and acts as a diagnostic tool about form & biomechanics. Yes it’s harder but as a periodic form check it’s worth it. 2) the straps allow you so pull the handles closer to your sides & engage the lats more which is key for posture. Once you return to traditional deadlifts you’ll feel even more locked in. The elevation is simply a means to get the hips & knee joints at the optimal 90 degree joint angles.

3. Incline Angled Underhand Barbell Rows with EZ Bar Rows from . Excellent for posture.

4. High Incline Bottoms Up Kettlebell Press with Hollow Body Leg Raise.

5. Kneeling Inch Lat Pulldowns. Helps you diagnose & fine-tune your form.

6. Dumbbell Single Leg RDL’s.

7. Reverse Dynamic Lunges.

8. Football Bar Bench Press.
