I’ve been using this simple way of training my basic compound movements (push-ups, pull-ups, squats etc) and the effects have been nothing short of fantastic. My joints feel stronger and safer, my muscles are working harder, and I feel like I’m moving as my body was meant to move.
This “trick” calls into question some of the classic ideas about how we should perform an exercise. Things like “sitting back into a squat” and “bend your knees or elbows at a 90-degree angle” might actually be riskier and less effective to your joints.
