Are some exercises useless or even potentially harmful? w/Dr. Jordan Shallow

from 50% Facts · host Jim McDonald

Not all exercises are created equal. That much is certain. But are any of them at best a complete waste of time, and at worst, damaging? Some of our questions were: Does anybody need Jawzercize? Do hip thrusts really do anything for powerlifters? Behind the neck presses? Those have to be bad, right? Or is everything useful in the right context? Dr. Jordan Shallow is a chiropractor and competitive powerlifter. He gives us his take on the utility of a number of exercises, and makes some important points about the need for strength versus the need for stability. Our ideas start at about 5:00. Jordan starts dropping knowledge starting at around 14:30. It was great to have Jordan on the show.
