We had the honor and privilege to pick his brain on a variety of topics ranging from his educational and fitness background to how he came up with the 90 degree Eccentric Isometric Training Protocol.
In the video below, Dr Seedman highlights his background and how it was his work with clients, that lead him to discover that the 90 degree Eccentric Isometric Training Protocol:
The Eccentric Isometric Training Protocol is a very effective method for helping people to build strength and improve their overall. Dr Seedman describes
Dr. Seedman describes Eccentric Isometrics as the single most effective training protocol for improving functional strength, size, athletic performance, and joint health
Put simply, an Eccentric Isometric is a slow eccentric followed by a pause in the lengthened position while staying as tight as possible. The muscles are held in the lengthened position during eccentric isometrics.
This type of training is very effective for several reasons:
First, it allows the athlete or client to safely handle heavier loads than they could otherwise. Second, it increases time under tension, which is a key to muscle growth. And finally, it produces a very high level of muscular force, which is great for improving strength and power.
In the below video Dr. Seedman walks The AMM Team through the proper execution of Barbell Flat Bench 90 Degree Eccentric Isometrics with The Launch Pad:
Dr. Seedman also teaches Midwest Kong & The AMM Team what offset loading is and how it can be used to train for strength, size, and performance.
Offset loading can be performed with barbells, kettlebells, dumbbells, cables, bands and or bodyweight.
Offset loading is performed by loading more weight or placing more tension on one side of the body than the other.
It is very effective for exposing muscle imbalances and helping to eliminate them.
Dr. Seedman explains that this is because it forces the weaker side to catch up to the stronger side particularly when it comes to neural drive, muscle activation patterns, motor control, intramuscular tension, and motor unit synchronization.
It is extremely challenging.
This is an advanced training protocol which works the prime movers and crushes the core simultaneously.
