Here’s football athletes John Boyd on a functional strength, hypertrophy, stability, & power workout from yesterday. Here are the 8 exercises.

1.Oblique Slings Single Arm Cable Row + Band Resisted Chest Press. The opposite arm driving into a chest press actually helps the opposite side row more aggressively and activate the back & lats more intensely via principles of reciprocal activation, co-contraction, and contralateral firing patterns. These torch the entire upper body & core with a very functional movement for athletes.

2. Underhand Grip Trap Bar Deadlifts on Airex. Underhand grips from Kensui. Underhand helps keep shoulders retracted which helps cue better posture & lat activation. Airex pad reinforces better foot activation & forces lifter to use more full body tension & motor control.

3. Double Knee Raise Barbell Bench Press with Cambered Bar from REPfitness.

4. Single Leg Bear Crawl Ab Rollout Drop Set with Double Leg

5. Trap Bar High Pulls.

6. Deadbug Pullups.

7. Goblet Bulgarian Squats.

8. Single Leg Barbell Good Mornings on Airex Pad.

9. Cambered Bar Overhead Shoulder Press with Chains.

Notice most movements involve 90 degree joint angles as research in exercise science shows this optimizes muscle growth, strength, joint health, & athletic performance. We have had thousands of people write in over the years how the 90 degree eccentric isometrics method not only helped maximize their physique & performance but also healed injuries & pain in their bodies that no other modality could resolve. God gets all the glory!

Stop 🛑 Butchering Pullups! My 2 FREE books explain all my training methods, link bio or hard copy on Amazon.

Here’s NPC figure athlete demonstrating perfect form on pullups. She’s using .grips (code JOEL.10) which are very comfortable on the wrists and arms.

Here are the 5 Most Common Pullup Mistakes.

1.Using excessive momentum, sloppy form, and kipping. Aim for perfectly strict reps with maximal control and full body tension.

2.Pulling too high at the top and going past 90 degrees which creates compensation patterns as you’re no longer fully engaging the lats & upper back but using other muscles around your shoulders, neck, & traps instead. Over time this leads to injuries and inflammation.

3. Stretching too low at the bottom and losing tension. Go as deep as possible without sacrificing posture, full body tension, or shoulder position. This should look identical to the top of an overhead shoulder press.

4. Allowing the legs & lower body to be loose. Focus on keeping the legs, feet, ankles, and entire lower body tight, rigid, and fully locked in just like the upper body. Whatever position you assume make sure you dorsiflex the ankles to ensure better alignment & recruitment from head to toe. And yes always perfect posture.

5. Aiming for quantity rather than quality. I’d rather have a client hit 2 perfect pullups than 20 sloppy ones. Master your form & create a strong muscle mind connection each & every rep.

Notice most movements involve 90 degree joint angles as research in exercise science shows this optimizes muscle growth, strength, joint health, & athletic performance. We have had thousands of people write in over the years how the 90 degree eccentric isometrics method not only helped maximize their physique & performance but also healed injuries & pain in their bodies that no other modality could resolve. God gets all the glory!

Why Posture? My 2 Free Books explain all my methods, not just 1 but 2 FREE books. Link in bio. Hard copies on Amazon. https://www.advancedhumanperformance.com/mind-body-spirit-redefined

Barefoot shoes Vivobarefoot code DRJOEL. Scientifically shown to enhance lower body muscle function & joint health.

Here is NPC physique champion Eric Mcyintire on a full body workout that emphasized posture, alignment, stability, & strength.

Without perfect posture it’s impossible to perform any exercise correctly. Perfect posture starts with optimal head & neck alignment meaning tall & retracted head & neck with shoulders pulled down & back. Then keep the core tight & pulled in with feet perfectly straight or slightly internally rotated on single leg variations.

Interestingly the Bible also points to posture, alignment, and feet.

“Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that the limb that is impaired may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.” (Hebrews 12:12-13).

The Bible & science always point back to each other. My 2 FREE books explain more.

We also did eyes closed variations mixed in for proprioception (sense of feel) which once again is analogous to the Holy Spirit in the Bible. The Holy Spirit gives us sense of feel in the spiritual realm & proprioception gives us feel in the physical realm with movement.

The 8 exercises this workout.

1.Prone Seal Rows using RackRow Bench use code SEEDMAN10 or go to link at http://www.RackRow.com/?aff=3 . Bar from Kensui.

2. Chinese Plank Dumbbell Chest Press.

Here’s football athlete Ryan Stephens a Safety Bar Single Leg Squats + Airex. (use the elevated leg hanging off the step to drive toward the floor by squeezing the glute & quad. This will cause reciprocal activation on the eccentric of the supporting working leg so that the hip flexors & hamstrings are firing that much harder on the eccentric thereby causing greater activation of the quad & glute of that working leg. Read more about this specific process & oblique slings firing pattern in full article at https://www.advancedhumanperformance.com/blog/oblique-slings-functional-training .

Notice most movements use 90 degree eccentric isometrics as this maximizes motor unit recruitment, length tension relationship, anatomical leverage, muscle activation & much more. That means more muscle growth, strength, & joint health. 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.

There's a crazy connection between drugs, yoga, witchcraft, new age, the occult, and the fitness industry. But what is it?? My new YouTube video on the Right Angle Podcast explains https://youtu.be/uHqJKleOb8Y

10/07/2026

What do Recreational Drugs, New Age & the Fitness Industry have to do with each other? More in my 2 FREE books, link bio.

The Bible talks about false & demonic spirits. Unfortunately many people are under their influence unknowingly.

In 1 Timothy 4:11 “Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons.”

So what’s the tie-ins between fitness, drugs, & new age?

In my 20’s I experimented with deep or full range of motion. The more I stretched into these extreme positions the better it would feel & the more I would open up my range of motion. Areas of tightness & discomfort would gradually dissipate. But the results were short lived as the tension & pain would come back but worse than before.

If you know anything about recreational drugs this is exactly the same pattern. But it’s the same pattern we see in New Age. I’ve studied dozens of testimonies of people who came out New Age & occult then turned to the Bible & become born again. The pattern is nearly identical.

When people first start dabbling in new age they find immediate results feeling mini revelations & spiritual breakthroughs. But over time they feel worse, more stressed, more anxious, & more tormented.

The momentary power people feel in new age is nothing compared to what Yahweh God & Yeshua Messiah offer us.

Here is non-inclusive list of some occultic practices people should avoid & repent if you have been involved.

Yoga
Witchcraft
Eastern Mysticism
Chakras Activation
Kundalini
Crystals
Magic & Spells
Tarot Cards
Astrology
Reiki
Crystal Healing
Horoscopes
Zodiac Signs
Animal Spirit Guides
Opening Your Third Eye
Ta***ic Mantras & Chants

Shoutout IFBB bodybuilder Sam Pearce IFBB Pro follow his page for more great info!

More bodybuilders, athletes, & lifters are ditching deep full range or max range of motion in favor of partials & 90 degree training methods similar to what I’ve been promoting.

I’ve been preaching this for 15+ years now as I did full ROM & deep maximal end range training for several years prior to that. Not only did it destroy my joints but I lost muscle & strength in the process. Once I switched to the 90 degree method & natural range of motion (which most folks consider partials), that’s when my strength, muscle mass, & joint health improved. Now in my 40’s my body has never felt better & I train full body 6x per week with zero joint pain.

You’re seeing more bodybuilders & athletes switching to this for 2 reasons. First they quickly became disillusioned from the lack of results witnessed with full ROM like ass-to-grass ATG squat methods. Second the latest science shows roughly 90 deg or partials is best.

In one of my latest YouTube podcasts I break down a 2025 study performed by Larsen et al. showing going significantly beyond 90-100 deg for exercises such as leg press & squats does not provide any additional hypertrophy. In fact, it shows going deeper compromises strength gains, joint stability, & recovery which impacts your ability to produce long-term hypertrophy gains.

Larsen, S., Wolf, M., Schoenfeld, B. J., Sandberg, N. Ø., Fredriksen, A. B., Kristiansen, B. S., van den Tillaar, R., Swinton, P. A., & Falch, H. N. (2025). Knee flexion range of motion does not influence muscle hypertrophy of the quadriceps femoris during leg press training in resistance-trained individuals. Journal of sports sciences, 43(10), 986–994. https://doi.org/10.1080/02640414.2025.2481534 .

This is nothing new as most studies done in kinesiology confirm these new findings.
