I've had a pinched ulnar nerve causing my elbow to snap for the last 4 years. Your advice to only train at 90 degree angles has eliminated this snapping. I even notice when I do go past 90, in particular with pressing movements or tricep extensions, the snapping returns. Thank you for the advice, my elbow has felt a lot better.
@@Boriqua76 Being a smart ass only made you sound like a dumb ass. Going past 90 caused the problem. No longer going past 90 fixed the problem. Saying it only keeps the symptoms at bay is like saying, no longer taking steroids doesn't fix roid rage, it just keeps roid rage at bay. SMH.
If you feel any stretch at all from squatting to 90 degrees, then something is seriously wrong with your body. That's pathetic mobility for someone who's been training as long as you have.
My mobility has been improved immensely since I stopped training full ROM and changed to 90 degrees 2 years ago. I used to never be able to do a bodyweight squat to full ATG depth without my feet flaring excessively and being in a lot of physical discomfort holding that position for any period of time. Now I can sit comfortably and thats from switiching over to 90 degree squats. My hamstring, quad, and overhead mobility/flexibility has improved, and have almost no joint pain now. Joel is on to something and I believe we all can learn something from him
@@russtemuka9849 if you were having pain from squatting full ROM it's a problem with you not the movement. You didn't develope enough prerequisite mobility in your hips, knees, and/or ankles to squat properly, so you hurt yourself doing it. It's not rocket science dude. If you can't squat to depth, that's fine. But Don't don't act like it's better. Your assumption that reducing your ROM magically improved your mobility is idiotic. All you did is reduce your pain and/or inflammation that you developed from loading a movement that your body clearly wasn't ready for. Again, it's a problem with you, not the movement.
@@tjcogger1974 it wasn't just squatting, but pressing as well (particular bench press) that I endured some issues. I had been training for 7 years, prior to switching over, and i'm also a certified coach for nearly 5 now. I'm not a novice trainee. I know all the techniques and cues, and have tried and listened to all different training philosophies, methods, coaches and so forth. I know what I'm doing in a weight room. Reducing my ROM has, yes, improved and enhanced not just my ROM/mobility and strength but most importantly MY HEALTH. I wish this industry talked more about joint and overall health outcomes, instead of treating everything like a pain game. I have just as good mobility as any ATG squatter (lots of them dont even have good mobility to begin with - only gravity is forcing you down into these positions anyway and lots of them can't even hold a BW squat in an ATG position without heel-elevated lifting shoes). So if the whole point of full ROM training is to enhance mobility, why train in this way if you don't have to? Joel is showing us (and has shown me through my own trial and error) that there is, at least, another way to enhance ROM. What's wrong with that?
@@russtemuka9849 the fact that you've been training for 7 years, and you don't have enough mobility to squat to depth without pain tells me you absolutely do not know what you're doing. And being a personal trainer doesn't mean shit either. I passed the NASM exam without even studying for it. Instead of regurgitating anecdotes, and flexing your credentials, go read the actually scientific literature that examines full ROM vs partial ROM. This isn't even remotely controversial in the scientific community anymore. You are not only contradicting common sense, but you're also contradicting vast preponderance of evidence on this topic, and spreading misinformation.
@@tjcogger1974 Says the guy who can't even squat to depth with his toes excessively flared out, AND with heel-elevated lifting shoes LOL. You are such a joke. You don't know anything about science. You're just an angry clown.

great feedback my friend really appreciate you sharing this!!!
Bro if the fucking snapping returns when you go past 90 staying at 90 doesn’t help except keep your symptoms at bay and not fix them!!!

Loved the podcast with Mark Bell! Turns out he agrees with you on a lot.
yes I was pleasantly surprised about that. Much respect for all of them!!! Thanks so much for the kind words

if an athlete was specifically focusing on hypertrophy in the off season do you think it would be beneficial to use larger ranges of motion?
Stan efferding agrees
very cool!!
