Muscle Mind Connection!! My 2 Free Books explain all my methods, not just 1 but 2 FREE books. Link in bio.

Here’s NFL pro Elijah Wilkinson on yesterday’s full body workout focused on muscle mind connection with light to moderate loads emphasizing hips, posture, core, glutes, upper back & lats as well as unilateral stability & motor control in the legs.

Yes, the muscle-mind connection is an important element of proper training. It’s simply the ability to engage the muscles you’re intending to target by attempting to squeeze & activate those muscles by thinking about the intended targeted regions. For instance thinking about squeezing your lats & upper back when doing rows will help fire those particular muscles ensuring the exercise is more effective at stimulating strength, hypertrophy, & activation in the targeted regions. It also helps minimize compensation patterns & imbalances. But the weights can’t be too heavy otherwise this will be a difficult task.

With that said the most important elements when it comes to establishing a strong muscle mind connection is posture, foot mechanics, & core activation. If these 3 things are in place then the muscle mind connection will semi-automatically occur. Then with a little extra cognitive focus the targeted regions will get crushed. If posture, foot mechanics, & core activation are not in place then creating a strong muscle mind connection will be nearly futile.

Proper posture starts with a tall and elongated retracted head & neck position with shoulders down & back. Then keep the feet perfectly straight on bilateral exercises or slightly rotated in on unilateral moves. Engage the core by bracing it (like someone is going to punch you) & pulling it in hard. Then maintain max full body tension while performing slow controlled 90 degree eccentric isometrics. I explain everything in my 2 FREE books link bio.

Bible & Fitness Truths!! More in my 2 FREE books link bio .

There is rampant hypocrisy amongst the Christians, Jews, Muslims, and Fitness Fanatics. But how?

According to the Jewish scriptures there 300+ prophetic verses pointing to the Messiah all of which fit the description of Yeshua Jesus. Additionally there are dozens of scriptures verses pointing to Him His death being the sacrifice for our sins such as in Isaiah and Zecheriah. Furthermore there was prophecy in the book of Daniel Ch 9 telling the Jews when the Messiah would come and it dates that somewhere between 30-33 AD.

So if you are a Jew like me then you must believe Yahshua Jesus is the Messiah and the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, the lamb of God, and God Himself.

Similarly Christians can’t just say they believe in Jesus & think they’re covered. No, they must put their faith so strongly in Him that His Spirit indwells them and they become a new born again creation as Yeshua says you must become in order to go to heaven. A majority of Christians are living a compromised watered-down gospel that does not line up to the Bible but instead has been altered to fit their lifestyle of sin.

Muslims, the Quran says to follow the scriptures including the Gospels and Jesus. Unfortunately there are various contradictions in the Quran including it saying that Jesus was never crucified nor did He die. If there’s one thing Historians including atheist historians agree on it’s that there was a man named Jesus who claimed to be God and He was crucified and did die. Because of contradictions like that I do not follow the Quaran but instead follow the Old and New Testament as they are the infallible and inerrant Word of God.

Fitness fanatics are the same. We learn about foundational principles of kinesiology from day one and we throw those aside in favor of doing what “feels right” or what we were taught from old school fitness coaches. We must adhere to science and truth not to what’s popular or what we’ve been taught or what the form police or gym bros are saying.

Single Leg Explosive 🧨 Box Drills. 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.

Barefoot shoes VIVOBAREFOOT code DRJOEL25OFF. These shoes are scientifically shown to enhance muscle function and lower body joint health.

Here are 4 single leg box jump drills. These are pretty advanced as they’re not just about explosive power but also motor control particularly on the landings and catches which require very high levels of motor control, stability, alignment, and balance particularly on the landing. Simply these emphasize force absorption as much as explosive power. To absorb force rapidly you’ll have to call upon your highest threshold fast twitch muscle fibers and get them to turn on rapidly.

The 4 Drills.

1.Single Leg Rotational Box Jump to Rotational Depth Drop.

2.Single Leg Box Jump Over Plyo Series.

3. Single Lex Box Jump To Reverse Depth Drop.

4. Split Squat/Lunge Depth Drop.

Notice these drills involve 90 degree joint angles as this maximizes power, force, motor control, alignment, stability, and force absorption capabilities. If you go below 90 degrees not only will you sacrifice power output but also compromise your abilities to absorb impact and decelerate which not only translates to reduced quality of movement on the field but also risk of injury to joints and tissues.

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.

Barefoot shoes code DRJOEL25OFF.

Shorts .

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.
