Jeff Cavaliere recommends stretching the internal rotators of the shoulder by placing hands on the outside of the door frame and driving the elbows into the door from a lunge position, creating external rotation. Hold for 7-8 seconds and repeat for about 10 repetitions.
ATHLEAN-X™ · 5 Bodyweight Exercises That Fix 95% Of Your Problems
Recommendation from Jeff Cavaliere
Recommendation · Body
Do not do skull crushers with the arm finishing in front of the body. Instead, get the arms back behind the head, with shoulders in flexion, to target the long head.
ATHLEAN-X™ · STOP, You're Training Your Triceps All Wrong!
Recommendation from Jeff Cavaliere
Recommendation · Body
Do not let elbows drift out to the sides, as this takes tension away. Keep the elbows in front of you to get more flexion and extension range of motion and more tension on the triceps.
ATHLEAN-X™ · STOP, You're Training Your Triceps All Wrong!
Recommendation from Jeff Cavaliere
Recommendation · Body
Do not perform tricep kickbacks while standing bent over, as the low back will curl under and the elbow will drop. Instead, position yourself face down on an incline bench to fix posture and provide a counterforce to drive the dumbbells up more effectively.
ATHLEAN-X™ · STOP, You're Training Your Triceps All Wrong!
Recommendation from Jeff Cavaliere
Recommendation · Body
Prop up an incline bench to perform the dumbbell overhead extension. This fixes biomechanical limitations, reduces the need for shoulder flexion mobility, and allows you to keep the elbows forward. Keep the elbows locked close to the side of the head.
ATHLEAN-X™ · STOP, You're Training Your Triceps All Wrong!
Recommendation from Jeff Cavaliere
Recommendation · Body
During overhead triceps exercises, set the arm angle back behind you and only open and close the elbow joint, keeping the arm pointed backward the entire time. Do not let the arm drift toward the torso when straightening the elbow.

Creator perspective · Body
Dr. Morin explains a hypothetical but plausible chain: if you collapse too much because you have a long contact time, you have a higher risk of tilting the entire body forward, leading to more trunk and pelvic tilt. A forward trunk lean combined with foot collapse is likely to produce higher backside mechanics, where the back leg sweeps up higher, and this exposes the athlete to potential hamstring injury when planting. Players who collapse more are very likely the players who control less the collapse at the ankle, indirectly relating this to foot and ankle strength and capability. Every single stride has a consequence on the next one, so a problematic stride compounds and gets worse stride by stride.

hypothetical per speaker
Creator perspective · Body
Dr. Morin recommends doing calf exercises barefoot to stimulate the overall foot and calf in a win-win approach, and for those wanting to be very specific to the intrinsic foot muscles, using exercises described in his study, especially around the big toe. He notes the choice between general calf work and specific intrinsic foot work depends on your objective. He also recounts that when coaching young players or teaching PTs and students, they argue socks are acceptable because it is more hygienic, but he rejects this argument, responding that no one uses socks at the beach or swimming pool.

Claim from Dr. Jean-Benoit Morin
Creator perspective · Body
Dr. Morin warns that two intense stimulations of the same muscle groups on the same day — one intense gym session plus one intense pitch session — is a huge overload in his opinion. Such same-day combinations should be reserved for off-season overload blocks targeting the hip extensors. If pairing sessions on the same day, he would do a lighter gym session immediately followed by a lighter resisted sprint session. Quality in the sprint movement requires the muscle groups to be fresh and ready to work.

speaker's opinion
Creator perspective · Body
Dr. Morin explains that trunk collapse during acceleration — where the trunk keeps bending forward at foot contact instead of staying fixed — is visible only through qualitative high-speed video analysis, not in numbers. A weak trunk that collapses during acceleration behaves like a passive trailer behind a car and slows the athlete down. Without slow motion video, you cannot decide where the weak point is in acceleration mechanics. He always films athletes during their acceleration because in tennis five to 10 meters is hugely important.

Recommendation · Body
Jeff Cavaliere advises against using a kettlebell or dumbbell in a goblet/rack position for a posterior chain-focused lunge because leaning forward becomes difficult and risks back injury.

Recommendation from Jeff Cavaliere
Consequential creator advice requires independent verification before Today can promote it.
Recommendation · Body
Jeff Cavaliere recommends allowing the back knee to lightly touch (kiss) the ground at the bottom of a lunge to confirm full depth, but avoid slamming it hard.

Recommendation · Body
Jeff Cavaliere recommends using a barbell on your back or a rack position with the weight held against your chest for an anterior-focused upright lunge.
ATHLEAN-X™ · Stop Doing Lunges Like This! (SAVE A FRIEND)
Recommendation from Jeff Cavaliere
Recommendation · Body
Jeff Cavaliere recommends rotating your shoulders towards the forward lunging leg every time you step back in a reverse lunge to create internal rotation at the hip and lock the pelvis in place for stability.

Jeff Cavaliere recommends using your toe as a landmark: reach back with your toe, and when it makes contact with the ground, that's as far back as you go.

Recommendation from Jeff Cavaliere
Recommendation · Body
Jeff Cavaliere recommends holding a pair of dumbbells for a posterior chain-focused lunge with forward lean, rather than a kettlebell or barbell in a goblet/rack position.
ATHLEAN-X™ · Stop Doing Lunges Like This! (SAVE A FRIEND)
Recommendation from Jeff Cavaliere
Recommendation · Body
Dr. Morin recommends doing classical ankle and calf exercises barefoot rather than in socks: it provides the same mechanical overload for the calf muscles and plantar flexion while adding stimulus for the intrinsic foot muscles — a win-win. He sees no obvious reason not to go barefoot for foot training.

Recommendation from Dr. Jean-Benoit Morin
Recommendation · Body
You should never ask an athlete to compete in a secondary sport to the point that they get injured and can no longer do their main sport.

For developing the ability to express strength within a very short duration, Dr. Morin names plyometrics as the number one training type to mention.

Published routines with a defined commitment. Open one to inspect it; adding it to your plan happens there, never here.
Fitness · Advanced
Perform rounds of kettlebell swings, suitcase marches and cleans continuously for 5 minutes. When you need a break, hold the bell in a goblet hold or clean position instead of setting it down, and the moment it hits the floor, the challenge is over.
Fitness · Advanced
Run a five-minute kettlebell grip challenge with no straps and no chalk, repeating a round of swings, marches and cleans for as long as you can hold on. If you drop the bell, the challenge is over.
Fitness · Advanced
Get into a cold shower for one to five minutes before cognitive or physical work when you want to improve concentration and focus.
Sleep · Advanced
Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends, and spend the time before bed doing something relaxing instead of screen time.
