Thanks for the videos. The show was great. I was a high school wrestler and did more than my fair share of bridging. I wish we had those exercises in the 80″s !!!!
Hey Joe, got a quick question for you you: A recent TNation post cited a study, finding that quarter squats are significantly superior for improving an athlete’s vertical jump and 40 yard dash than full range of motion squats. (here is a link to the post: https://www.t-nation.com/training/tip-do-quarter-squats-to-boost-athleticism)
Do you think this is legit? If so, should you only focus on partial range squatting if improved athleticism (to survive the zombie apocalypse and all ;)) is your goal or would you cycle full and partial range exercises?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks coach and all the best to you

Thanks for posting the neck exercises Joe! I tried the stability ball bridges and really found them to hit the musculature of my neck better than the neck harness which I had previously been using. Thanks again for sharing!
