Here’s NFL pro Elijah Wilkinson from yesterday’s workout as we have him prepping for his 10th year in the NFL.

Unless you’ve mastered the basic foundational movements with 90 Degree Eccentric Isometrics, then I advise NOT doing “sport specific training”. With that said, even my pro athletes who have mastered 90 Deg EI & their body mechanics we still focus on the basics & fundamental movements 80% of the time & the other 20% we get more unique.

Within that 20% we sometimes do semi-sport specific movements. And I use the term “sport specific” very loosely because generally speaking I’m not a fan of traditional sport specific training as it can often lead to neuromuscular confusion & negatively impact the athlete’s technique in their specific sport or skill unless it’s done properly.

Instead we analyze the movements used in their sports & use exercises that address the specific biomotor attributes of the sport such as weight shift, hip drive, single leg power, rotational power etc. However we still only focus a small fraction of training on these elements.

Instead we focus on mastering the “Big 7” fundamental movement patterns (squat, hinge, lunge, horizontal push & pull, & vertical push & pull) with 90 deg eccentric isometrics a majority of the time to provide most bang for your buck.

The 8 Exercises.

1.Kneeling Landmine Push Press + band NTLoop.

2. Single Arm Rotational Cable Press.

3. Wide Underhand RDL +Bant NTloop.

4. Landmine Front Squat on Balls of Feet.

5. Split Stance RDL Lever Row On Airex Pad.

6. Bear Crawl Renegade Row.

7. Squatting Lat Pulldown.

8. Oblique Slings Dumbbell Bulgarian Squats.

Leg Emphasis Full Body Workout. My 2 Free Books explain all my methods, not just 1 but 2 FREE books. Link in bio.

Make sure you download both FREE books not just 1. The 1st one, Movement Redefined goes over the fundamentals of all my training methods. The 2nd book Mind, Body Spirit – Redefined goes into even greater depth of the science, practical application, + how the mind, body, & spirit are interconnected the way God created them to be.

Here’s college softball athlete Macey Cintron for Clemson Softball 🥎 on her recent workout we did that emphasized lower body and legs but still completing a full body routine. With all our athletes we do full body workout although some days we most emphasize certain elements or muscle groups more than others.

In this workout with Macey we also emphasized posture, alignment, core, and foot mechanics. These are all arguably the most important elements of proper training because if any of these are off then all the exercises will be performed improperly. If they’re dialed in then all the movements will likely be quite sound.

The 9 Exercises.

1.Contralteral Loading Dumbbell Bulgarian Squats.

2. Single Leg Band Resisted Hip Extension from Plank.

3. Single Leg Goblet Squats.

4. Safety Bar Squats.

5. L-Sit Lat Pulldowns.

6. Single Leg RDL’s.

7. Floor Press Kensui Fitness bar.

8. Bent Over Rows.

9. Standing Shoulder Press.

We use 90 degree eccentric isometrics on most movements which maximize motor unit recruitment, length tension relationship, anatomical leverage, muscle activation & much more. That means more muscle growth, strength, explosive power & joint health as well as athletic performance. Thousands of folks around the world are switching to the 90 deg EI method & reporting near miraculous benefits including healing from injuries that no other method could resolve. God gets all the glory!

Stop Stretching & Yoga!! My 2 Free Books explain all my methods, not just 1 but 2 FREE books. Link in bio.

Rather than having my athletes do traditional stretches, yoga, or mobility drills, we use 90 degree eccentric isometrics to improve muscle function, mobility, stability, symmetry, strength, alignment, power, & joint health. Here’s why!

Muscles like to be stretched & elongated although this is contingent on 3 important factors. These 3 Key variables include the following: 1) They’re not over-stretched 2) Proper joint alignment & joint centration is maintained, 3) Outside variables are not the primary drivers of that stretch (i.e. gravity, partner/manual stretching, band/strap etc.) but instead the CNS is the primary driver.

Once these 3 elements are in place, your body will accept the stretch & the muscles will set to their desired length, based on the optimal length tension relationship of sarcomeres. If these 3 elements are not in place then there will be 1 of 2 potential ramifications.

1) The body will reject the stretch as a form of a safety mechanism to avoid tears or pulls in the future (i.e. modified stretch reflex) in which case the muscles come back tighter & more spastic; Or 2) The body will accept the stretch by altering it’s optimal length tension relationship which in turn compromises one’s force production & force absorption capabilities ultimately leading to injury & joint deterioration.

Unfortunately most yoga poses, mobility drills, stretches, & even strength training movements do not incorporate all 3 of these key variables meaning that they’re doing more harm than good. In contrast 90 degree Eccentric Isometrics incorporate each of these 3 elements meaning the body accepts the stretch & resets the muscles to their optimal length & tension properties.

Do these or similar drills daily for optimal muscle function & health. Also perform any of these whenever you’re tight, misaligned, in pain, or feeling like your muscles need to re-set.

Light Technique Days = Strength. More in my 2 FREE books. Link bio.

Clothing M2Bmade.

Here’s NFL vet Chris Carson on a recent heavier workout. I’m posting this to highlight the importance of light technique workouts using 90 degree eccentric isometrics as that’s predominantly what I’ve been doing with Chris the last few months. However, his strength is actually increasing & so is his muscle mass. But how?

Because mastering your technique even with light weights allows the lifter to fine-tune their form & muscle activation. Not only does this necessitate incredibly high intensity & high effort contractions with each and every rep (even with light loads) but it actually teaches the lifter how to optimize their neuromuscular efficiency. In essence it helps maximize activation signals & minimize inhibition signals.

Many lifters product a variety of inhibitory signals during their exercises because of faulty firing patterns & poor mechanics. Not only does this place the lifter at greater risk for injury but it also compromises strength, muscle growth, & athletic performance. When your body is moving & activating efficiently this allows the nervous system to operate uninhibited ultimately allowing greater activation.

That translates to greater intramuscular tension even with light loads because the lifter is creating the tension rather than relying on the heavy loads to do that for them. This also means that the ability to handle heavier weight in the future is improved because of improved neuromuscular efficiency.

Furthermore when an athlete is healthy & not in pain or injured their body will produce exponentially greater force, torque, & power without attempting to shut down the movements. In other words the body has no reason to shut a movement down or try to protect itself against therapeutic contractions and movements. The same applies to mobility.

Stop pushing your mobility. If you want to optimize your mobility focus on stability, motor control, and alignment. Continuously pushing your mobility limits excessively past 90 degrees will force you to sacrifice mobility over time to due the inevitable pain, inflammation, and injuries that ensue.

All Humans Move the Same! My 2 Free Books explain everything.

College football athletes .

10 Facts About Movement.

1.When performed properly movement will look very similar from human to human. I’m referring to high force scenarios where ideal mechanics are warranted.

2.Individual differences in human anatomy & anthropometrics manifest themselves primarily when a movement is done incorrectly as there are infinite ways to perform any exercise incorrectly.

3. A proper movement under loaded scenarios involves straight feet, neutral spine (perfect posture), tall head, tight braced core, & roughly 90 deg joint angles at key joints.

4. The notion that all humans move differently based on individual differences is based on bro science not real science.

5. If all humans should move differently then the field of biomechanics would have been obsolete decades ago. But we know we can always narrow down high force movements (sprinting, kicking, jumping, throwing,) to one or at least very narrow parameters in terms of “best”.

6. God made the human body & thus it will function & operate very similarly from human to human when used correctly.

7. Because sin entered the world, we all have our unique forms of dysfunction & compensation patterns.

8. But when we use our bodies within the confines of how God created us to best function (under high force scenarios) all humans will move very similarly.

9. That’s because what is best is based on the fact that God created us in His image, meaning there are NOT lots of variations of how humans should live but only one variation, the human variation that directly reflects Him based on the Bible. As a result, for most things in life, there will be ONE right way to do things, not many. In other words narrow parameters for how humans should operate in daily life including moral & ethical standards as well as optimal movement parameters but most importantly for salvation & eternal life.

10. 90 Deg angles = max muscle growth, strength, & joint health.

Jesus (Yeshua) gave much instruction & specific commands during His time on earth. However, there were only very occasional scenarios where He says the words “You Must” right before a particular command. The most notable instance of this is in the gospel of John 3 He says “You Must be Born Again”.

These are some of the toughest yet most important words given by Yeshua (Jesus) as He’s pointing back to the Old Testament particularly in Jeremiah & Ezekial talking about how Yahweh God will remedy our sin & disobedient sin nature by giving us a new heart & new spirit, one that would follow Him since He would write His commands on our heart.

When we repent of our sins and accept Him as our savior He does something incredible. He puts to death our old sin nature just as He was crucified on the cross we are spiritually crucified with Him. He then gives us His nature to replace our old sin nature in the form of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit gives us guidance, power, wisdom, & desire to follow God’s commands & be pleasing to Him by obeying His precepts & loving Him.

But how does this relate to exercise science & strength training. This concept is very consistent with the field of neuromuscular physiology, skill acquisition, motor learning, and neuroplasticity in terms of building new neural networks. You don’t try to improve on old pre-existing motor programs when it comes to mastering a skill or learning a new one. Instead if you want to master a skill you need to get rid of the old motor program & replace it with a new one.

Whether it’s a squat, hinge, lunge, push, or pull, our old strategies are too corrupted & flawed. We don’t want to salvage those old programs. Instead we want those to be done away with & replaced by proper motor programs & activation patterns. This is true for skill, sports, & strength training. This is how we teach our clients & athletes & this is really how any competent strength coach, physical therapist, or personal trainer trains. We teach clients how to train properly & replace old pre-existing corrupted motor programs with proper ones rather than trying to clean up flawed one.

The 2nd book Mind, Body Spirit – Redefined goes into even greater depth of the science, practical application, + how the mind, body, & spirit are interconnected the way God created them to be. And yes, the Bible is part of this discussion.

Here me and my brother Joshua Seedman (he’s not on IG) are doing 5 exercises with the belt squat.

1.Goblet Belt Squats. 4 Benefits. 1) As great as goblet squats are, the upper body & core oftentimes are the limiting factor and the legs don’t always get thoroughly taxed. Combining the belt squat & goblet squat resolves this. 2) One of the most common problems on goblet squats is collapsing in the bottom position & going excessively deep. The belt squat is one of the most effective squat variations to teach people not to collapse & use excessive ROM as going below parallel on these feels very unnatural & awkward. As a result the lifter is more likely to apply ideal 90 deg squat mechanics. 3) Belt Squats are great but tend to be a bit uncomfortable once the load gets past a certain point as the belt digging into the hips doesn’t feel great. This variation keeps the goblet load and belt load moderate but when combined is quite heavy & challenging without the discomforts of either variation. 4) This specific squat combination is very low back friendly as all of the weight is kept very close to the center of mass.

2.Wide RDL’s. Think of this as a heavy kettlebell RDL. Thanks to Mark Bell for this.

3. Overhead Belt Squat. Sloppy posture on belt squats is a common issue. Add a light overhead squat to fix this & feel your quads & glutes even more since posture will be locked in.

4. Bent Over Rows.

5. Hanging Squats. Similar to heavy kettlebell squat.
