4: Shoulder: ATG Push-up x 20
3 Rounds
Details…
1/4, Ankle: Slantboard Calf Raise: this is my favorite calf exercise thanks to the dual flexibility and strength benefits. Start on two legs to make it easier:
2/4, Knee: Slantboard Squat: this changed my life by helping me get and stay off painkillers for my knees. I haven’t had a knee injury in over 10 years, despite being plagued with them prior. Start ASSISTED between two chairs to make it easier:
3/4, Hip: Back Extension: maybe it seems strange to have in the living room, but given modern back stats, I’m happy I do. Start ASSISTED using the handrails to make it easier - that’s how I’ve helped many grandparents regain low back quality of life!
4/4, Shoulder: Full Range Push-Up: I’m a big fan of bodyweight strength through full range of motion as a foundation, regardless of further lifting goals.
I just want maximum athletic longevity - for my kids’ sake and because I love hoops 🏀 - so my training reflects that:

JOINT BUILDING: What’s the Deal With Knees Over Toes?
University research in the ‘70s found more pressure on the knees when over the toes. Understandably, this led to exercise science broadly restricting knees over toes and therefore full range of motion…
But analysis of research over the next 4 decades showed this concern to be unfounded (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23821469/). Fully using the knee not only strengthens the lower body muscles - it can build the internal structures of the JOINT!
HOWEVER…
The deeper you go into the joint, the less blood supply!
So joint building is a more sensitive subject than muscle building. Coupled with warnings from that initial research, I can totally see why knees over toes has been such a neglected subject.
