New Study Shows Peak Muscle Activation at 90 Degree Squat

The elephant in the room is that this study was performed using isometric maximal effort squats rather than a dynamic range of motion.  If these findings are only relevant in static positions, the concepts could be useful in the post-surgical setting.

If what is true for these isometric findings holds true for dynamic motion, it would direct box height selection in Box Squats as well as point out the need for some athletes to cultivate additional recruitment at end range.  Perhaps the use of Pause Squats or 1 and 1/4 squats at full depth for athletes (olympic lifters) who find themselves at angles approaching 140 degrees flexion.

Also, this could validate the use of partial depth squats and walkouts at above 1RM weight. . . interesting. . .

Standing Clam Shell for Knee Sweep in the Squat

Standing Clam Shell for Knee Sweep in the Squat

The side lying clam shell is a basic and sometimes necessary step in the hip rehab process. Do not stop there though. Progressive resistance and squat stance positioning keep this activation drill relevant as access to glute medius and minimus improves.

Sports Chiropractor Shoulder Rehab Seattle

Sports Chiropractor Shoulder Rehab Seattle

My favorite hobbies of crossfit, kettlebelling, tussling my children and moving my patients can be hard on the body. Especially with a history of a torn right labrum. See LINK. I understand the importance of ongoing shoulder stability rehab as well as anybody. Life and training do get busy so it is critical to integrate shoulder rehab as seamlessly as possible into your existing strength training and accessory work. This modified banded face pull is best used as a series of long fast reps not to exceed 100 total. Add this in after max effort shoulder training days and see your shoulders recover faster and your lifts improve.
