Here’s collegiate football athletes for Wake Forest Suh Kamara on kneeling overhead barbell press with 90 degree joint angles.

Much of what is currently advocated & employed in the fitness industry is not based on science or research. Instead it’s based on what coaches have been implementing for decades not because it’s best but simply because it’s how they were taught because that’s how their coaches before them were also taught.

This trend of passing down these erroneous non-science based methods have corrupted the industry so much so that what is currently advocated is not scientifically sound but instead goes against foundational principles of science.

For instance when we examine sub-sciences of kinesiology including structural muscle physiology, biomechanics, neuromuscular physiology, physics, & more we see that optimal range of motion for most movements involves 90 deg joint angles. The idea of using maximal range of motion or training end range of motion is not based on any scientific principle but instead is applying rules of finance & wealth management to physiology.

Simply, the concept that more is better & that max ROM is ideal (which generally speaking is currently what’s used) is not only NOT based on science but in fact goes against every element of science we know. We never want max of anything in physiology including hormones, enzymes, chemicals, reactions, & yes even range of motion. Instead we want the optimal level. That optimal level is 90 deg.

90 deg maximizes muscle activation, strength gains, muscle hypertrophy, joint health, & athletic performance not to mention full body stability, mobility, symmetry & more. Read more in my 600 page book MOVEMENT REDEFINED link in bio.

And remember just because something works & has been done a certain way for decades doesn’t mean it’s optimal. Good is the enemy of best. Don’t let the common enemy of clinging to “good” prevent you from seeing what’s truly optimal & best not just in training but in all aspects of life.
