This is where the revolution will start. 1. Measure what really matter 2. Train in a way the body understands

Save this. These are eight way to build legs with back pain

They trained around their nervous system. How did we forget how to do that?!

For all the “all you need to do is back squat” people. His favorite movement: Safety bar split squat.

Comment “TRAIN” to train weird for a week for free.

People love to oversimplify complex topics. Surprise, surprise. Researchers, by necessity, must oversimplify. Not doing so creates additional variables which quickly detracts from the strength of studies, most of which already struggle with strength due to a limited N. They recently compared Nordics to RDLs and found RDLs to be superior. That is not a surprise. Hinge movements should always be prioritized. But they also only looked at the standard approach to a Nordic. Doing them with extended hips and without variable resistance. This prevents the full stretch of the hamstring and limits the speed at which amortization can occur. The two movements, Nordic/GHR variations and hinging are tools designed to meet largely different needs, neither of which can be fully trained by the other. The Nordic/GHRs shouldn’t be looked at as “hamstring” exercises, even though they are phenomenal at training the hamstrings. The are a posterior knee complex family of exercises. They train the ability of the gastroc and hamstrings to worn together to stabilize the knee joint and allow force from the hips to be transferred through the ground. They also allow the athlete to add valuable volume of high tension exercises to the posterior knee complex without the corresponding central fatigue that comes from additional sets of an axial loaded activity. This is my issue with “science based”. It never really answers the right questions fully. It studies often ask the wrong questions to begin with. And when they ask them, the answers leave more questions.
