This Exercise is an Injury WAITING to Happen!

"In a way that's legally defensible within your context" is basically how I make 90% of my decisions 🤣

[ethioman]

that bar with the extra space for full rom looks sick

[williamnewsome]

Could not be truer. Thanks for the reminder on the importance of full range of motion.

[fierypickles]

Definitely would love more combat oriented fitness videos

[DirceuCorsetti]

I know this is just one of the vids, but since I've started watching dr Mike, I changed my workouts to prioritize full range of motion and loading the stretch. It's unbelievable the growth I've had and how much better it is for joints and everyday life. So much quality content. I'd love to use his app but unfortunately the RP fitness doesn't show up on Android for me.

Lmao I love how you turn the exercise description into how to kick someone’s ass 😂😂😂😂 love you dr Mike

"In a way that is legally defensible in your context" 😂

[JohnDoe-boyk]

Cheers bro, I've put a lot of what you said into practice at the gym, I can feel the difference

[plugrust]

I love this guy I can bing watch his shorts I love the little jokes he cracks there always funny and he gives good advice. I don't know what all those big word mean but it means your smart so that's good enough for me😅

[einruberhardt]

From Exercise science to becoming a fighter and ending with an self defense class in under 30 seconds. Mike is a legend!

[Kingjohnhart]

Love these videos actually giving some solid advice rather than bullshitting like most

[Shamala-Hairless]

Legally defensible in my context = Dr.Mike told me to do it.

[marcchauharjasingh]

Agreed.... u need to train for what you are working towards...

[MrBNick]

😂😂I love that trail off.. textbook Dr Mike.

[duhotatoday]

I can see shortened position training like this being useful for something like boxing tho. Maybe not a floor press but something like short explosive heavy reps on a smith machine bench could theoretically bring some additional juice to your jabs

[blakium]

As a fighter, I will literally change my workout routines because of this video. Thank you!

[anthonymarconi]

Oddly enough, while I get the rationale, there are very reputable fight sports coaches (P. Daru, Boxing Science in UK come to mind first) who favor floor presses for strikers precisely because they avoid putting already overused shoulders into more stretched positions, possibly train in a range more realistic for throwing punches and for sure enable safe overloading compared to regular bench press. Interesting discussion to have...

[TonyChev]

Knew a rugby player years ago who trained limited range of motion. He kept getting injured. You can do some limited range training to increase strength, but always include full range exercise.

"In a way... that's... legally... defensible... in your... context 😒... " 😅😅😅😅😅

[mixmax]

Exactly! Pause presses w the weight pasued and relaxed on chest.. Secret to a giant bench. Weakest point is off the chest.
