Deadlifts are the movement I call the "ACL reduction powerhouse." They are so great for not just the hamstrings and glutes, but the entirety of the trunk, and ensuring it has the stability, as well strength to handle high amounts load so the lower extremity joints are also stable (knee and ankles). I am also a huge fan of Single Leg RDLs, Pistol Squats, and Lunge variations for single-leg strength as well as trunk stability.
I’m obsessed with how people and soccer players move 👣.
If you look at the top players in the world there is a durability to them. It’s hard to improve if you’re always injured. I wouldn’t know nothing about that 👀.
Yeah a lot of it comes down to favorable genetics or playing barefoot as a kid, but we must take control of what we can and it’s never too late for an upgrade.
