Скачать или смотреть 1 on 1 with Dr. Joel Seedman: Is 90 degrees superior? Review of the studies, criticisms, Dr. Mike

Had a great chat with the “controversial” Dr. Joel Seedman. Hard to believe such a nice guy gets so much undeserved hate! At the end of the day I can’t really hate on anything Dr. Seedman puts out there. Personally I don’t stop at 90 on most things but not far from it. Maybe closer to 100 degrees. And I think his 90 degree angle range of motion recommendation is close to optimal for most average people and gym goers who are already so tight and compressed.

Hopefully this video helps clarify some misconceptions and criticism that is out there. Always open to discuss valid arguments in the comments. Mike fanboys don’t get too crazy though.
