Why are my ATHLETES Rarely Injured? 90 Degree Eccentric Isometrics Bosu Ball Bench Parker Meadows

90 Deg = BEST.
Congrats MLB baseball pro Parker Meadows for a big home run and 2 runs last night to give Detroit the win.
Best shoes Vivobarefoot code DRJOEL.
Here he’s doing 90 Deg Eccentric Isometric Bench Press on BOSU Elite (code AHPWECK) from David Weck.
8 Key facts.
1.The 90 deg bench press protocol is similar to Spoto Press used by World Record Bench press Champion Eric Spoto.
2. Unless you’re a competitive powerlifter, there’s no reason to touch the bar to your chest on bench press variations. Do 90 deg eccentric isometrics instead.
3. This is a topic I go over in my book MOVEMENT REDEFINED with hundreds of studies. Besides various studies directly demonstrating this, if we examine the research regarding structural physiology, biomechanics, & neuromuscular physiology, all signs point to 90-deg as being optimal under high forces.
4. Besides saving the joints, 90-deg eccentric isometrics are superior not only in terms of therapeutic benefit but also for functional strength & size as well as power & proprioception.
5. This is true not only of bench press but squats, hinges, pulls, deadlifts, lunges, & presses.
6. Additionally 90 deg optimizes mobility. Yes, limiting ROM to 90-deg (the optimal end range for high load/impact activities) actually promotes increased mobility & ROM because it promotes tissue health.
7. In contrast, movements in excess of 90-deg often end up limiting mobility & flexibility as exaggerated positions can gradually produce chronic inflammation, spasticity & hypertonic muscles (your muscles will counteract excessive stretch by coming back tighter & spastic) which are the very things that limit mobility.
8. More & more powerlifters including Westside are using limited ROM moves such as floor press, board press, pin press, Spoto press, & YES & even 90 deg box squats. Coincidence? I think not.
People from around the globe are writing in daily telling us how 90 deg EI healed & transformed their bodies while also giving them more muscle growth, explosive power, & strength than any method. And our athletes rarely get injured. The methods are working & God gets all the glory!!

They dont get injured because they dont move any real weight and waste time lifting their leg like a pissing dog and doing quarter reps

[rylonyoung]

Thank god he didn’t touch the bar to his chest, his pecs would probably blow up if he did a full rep, seedman is the chosen one 🙌

Any chance you’ll post a video diving into the physiology of 90-degree isometrics instead of just continuing to post videos advertising it? What happens when they go for a full rom push in sport when they’re not used to it..

[Tree_Top_Tom]

Cognitive bias Joel gets hurt lifting weights, sells fear to naive clients, makes everyone do the workout he likes to do.

So because these athletes go to you to prevent injury… they get God’s favor? Explain exactly how that works.

Good god...the trolls are out be productive
