10 Facts.
1. Stop Training Like a Powerlifter unless you’re a competitive powerlifter training for elite events.
2. That means stop deadlifting from the floor with a traditional barbell, stop squatting past 90 degrees, & stop bench pressing touching the bar to your chest.
3. All of these are asking for injuries and in fact most powerlifters or lifters who consistently perform these movements are frequently plagued with injuries, joint pain, & muscle dysfunction.
4. What’s interesting is all these lifts have 1 thing in common – They all go past 90 deg.
5. Training heavy past 90 deg is asking for injuries as you’re going against optimal structural muscle physiology, biomechanics, & neuromuscular physiology.
6. If you want to maximize muscle growth, strength, & joint health then train 90 deg joint angles as this is what’s been shown to be optimal in all areas of kinesiology & exercise science.
7. No form of research supports deep or full range of motion (with the exception of a few poorly performed cherry picked studies).
8. When it comes to conventional barbell deadlifts you’re not even gaining much muscle from these since you’re rarely doing them with a significant eccentric phase.
9. The height of traditional plates is completely arbitrary & not based on optimal human biomechanics. For most folks traditional plates & barbell deadlift is 2-5 inches below their optimal 90 deg spot.
10. Instead of traditional barbell deadlifts do trap bar, RDL’s, rack pulls, single leg RDL’s, good mornings, & heavy kettlebell swings. You’ll gain more muscle as you can dictate the optimal 90 deg position + the controlled eccentric will help joint & tissue health + athletic performance & muscle function.

Aim for 90 deg joint angles on all movements as this optimizes muscle growth, strength, & joint health. Thousands of people around the globe have switched to the 90 deg method as they’re not only experiencing more strength & muscle growth but also injury, healing, & restoration to areas of their body no other method could resolve. God gets all the glory! Read more in my book MOVEMENT REDEFINED link in bio.
